Lately I have been really worried about my friends and their cigerette smoking habits. Mainly because it seems lately i have been going to more funerals than weddings. I stopped smoking a good 2 months ago. I replaced "cancer sticks" with bubble gum. I never thought i was addicted or anyhting until i realized how many packs of gum i would go threw because i needed a drag.
Immediately after hurricane Wilma, I attended a really good friend of the families funeral. He died from lung cancer. My parents were in his wedding and i grew up with his three kids. Hell, i remember playing teenage mutan ninja turtles with their son Vincent. All i could think of during his funeral was how much his kids were going to miss him. He was such a nice man and i cant believe he died at a young age.
2 days ago my parents received a letter in the mail from our mechanic. We have been friends with him since i was born. Hes a really good christian man and probably the most honest mechanic you will ever meet in your life. He was diagnosed with lung cancer as well. They say he has two months to live. I just cant believe it.
I know if you are infact reading this, you are thinking this isnt going to happen to you because you are young and you dont see any differences in your health. NEWSFLASH!!! Its a slow killing disease. When my grandma was dying every breath she took looked as if she was gasping after jumping out from underwater. Its hard to look at someone you love struggling with something so much that we take for granted. I didnt mean for this to be a rant or anything but i guess it did turn out like this. Im not telling you to stop it. I wouldnt mind if you did but just please be aware of it.
I came home yesterday from disney world. All and all it was an alright trip. The first day i went to epcot with my family and Brendan. Yup, thats right. I couldnt believe he hasnt been to Disney world since we were in 5th grade for forest hills elem. After dinner in Epcot (and a lot of catching up on life) our plan was to meet up mowgli in Magic Kingdom. That dork left hours before we got there so i was a bit disappointed. BUTTTTT when brendan and i were waiting for my family to get to the Pirates ride i stopped to reflect on how much fun i had with lil ally over spring break when we went up there for her bday. . Oddly enough, she appeared out of no where with Ryan (squirtle master.) My mouth seriously dropped. I was so happy to see them. The second day in Disney was just a mellow day. All in all, even though i fight with my family, i dont think i would ever trade them in. They entertain me
p.s. one more day of finals!!!
P.s.s. Im taking a swing dancing class at pbcc spring term!!!
