For those of you who read my last blog post and are wondering- No I did not have another Gary Coleman dream last night. Sorry I was actually hoping to so I could fill you in on what our short baby faced friend had to say but unfortunately I am unable.
In other news, today among other things I was given a Mets baseball cap that my grandfather used to wear. Now I'm just gonna say that I do not like the Mets I never have, and most of my income as a kid was betting against them when my grandfather and I watched the games together. Anyways, its sitting here in my room on the knob of my closet door, looking at me. Although I did put it on just to wear it in front of my family like he used to, we got a good laugh out of it and I added a good visual so you can just imagine, I don't think I'm ever going to have a use for it again. My grandfather has become quite of a legend within my family, though they all say I am the most like him out of anyone in our family, I still feel like I could have learned more about him. He was funny, loud, deaf as can be, stubborn, and smoked constantly. I do not smoke, but I think I fit in to all those other things. He was a real jokester, when I knew him (at my young age) everything he said made me laugh. He was a very hard worker and he liked everything a certain way (even his dinner). The real legend in my opinion was my grandmother because she was the one that dealt with him all day everyday, cooking his breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You'd be surprised someone so geared towards serving her husband would have a sense of humor as well. Well believe it because I honestly believe my grandmother is the funniest and strong willed women I've ever met. Its been 8 years since he died and now all we do at family gatherings is tell stories about when he was here. I hope my children/grandchildren immortalize me in the same way. Just some food for thought.
People get up! and drive that funky soul! I just "obtained" James Brown's Greatest Hits... I may never listen to anything else ever. Well, I know thats not true, but you get me.
Writing a blog I have developed some new words for myself that I use to describe certain issues I run into like this gem... "Blog Block". Now I certainly do not think you are idiots and you can probably figure out what "Blog Block" is but just in case its basically the blog version of writers block. So in a situation like this I would ask a friend... "Give me ideas for my blog..." this usually never avails to anything because well, no one has ideas. Today however I asked someone for ideas and all they said was "fuck." Needless to say that sex does indeed sell, but I don't think my blog is that desperate for readers, not to mention any of that variety.
Thats all for me tonight. Hope you guys enjoyed, give me some feedback!!! I hope you all are having a fulfilling summer. For those of you who aren't for whatever the reason remember that there is no reason to hang your head down and stare at the bad times, rather raise your head and look forward to the future and make some changes to get back in the game. Thanks.
