No hay viento favorable para el quien no tiene puerto de llegar.

So I don't have money anymore. But I think it was worth it. I bought two Cirque du Soleil tickets for my mom and me for this Saturday. It was sort of on a whim as well. And they're PREMIUM seats as well. I feel like I'm starting to become that gay guy that is really close to his mother. At least after all the gay guys I've spoken to that talk about

"Well I ask because I want to understand." My dad's exactly the same. Sometimes I even wonder if he's more interested in what mom or I are telling him or in his own questions.

he knows names and dates that even Russian and Japanese majors don't/can't recall
Little wonder. I once learned how the verb "to be" was conjugated in old Russian.. from reading the "learn_russian" community. At the same time I know things about Belguim that my Beglian friends do not know. Guess it is just an interest thing.

Honestly! My dad even attempts to answer his own questions. He goes something like "Well, what is this and this? Because I think that..." and then he goes off on a tangent. I already know he thinks that I think I'm much better than him for having a higher education, and in an attempt to put me in my place, he goes off on another tangent and explains a concept to me, but never relates it back to the topic at hand, so I just end up with a look on my face that says "So what?"

As to the just an interest thing, well, Russian and Japanese majors are SUPPOSED to know these things, because it's precisely what interests them, otherwise they wouldn't be Russian or Japanese majors! This man though is just interested in world history though, but all the more props to him, he's such a molodyets )))

No, that far my father doesn't go this far - his questions are to the point, but... there are so many of them that sometimes I don't know if he takes the subject seriously or is joking!
