Dave called this morning from a beach on the Gulf of Mexico. He held
the phone out to the ocean and asked me if I could hear it. Of course I
could. Anywho, they left New Orleans at about 11ish and he was about an
hour east of New Orleans in Mississippi just off some state road south
of I10. By now, he should be in Orlando.Today is a monumental day. Today, I have paid off my car, and 13 months
early. Nobody will understand this but me, but just as a last fuck you
to them, I left a balance of 35 cents on the account. Shit, the people
at GMAC won’t understand it, they will think I did it in error, but I
don’t care, as its my last laugh and own personal satisfaction, even if
I’m the only one that knows it.Today we went to my cousin Cathy’s house in Tinley Park. She and her
husband are 2 of our favorites from my mom’s side, so we really should
spend more time with them. Anywho, dinner was pretty damn good, ham and
potatos and all sorts of shit. Not that it was shit, because honestly,
it was very good. We go to her house for Easter every year, and every
year, I get drunk on strawberry flavored wine, and this year was no
different, except that I didn’t drink enough to get drunk, as we ran
out of strawberry wine before then. Anywho, we watched the NCAA
tournament, I’m not really into college basketball, but both these
games were really good. Shit, even John sat and watched, although I
think he was just amazed with the hi-def big screen. We left about
7:15ish and came home.I’ve come to realize something about me and my siblings: we are
different and odd. Its not to say we aren’t good people, we are decent,
hard working, productive members of society, just a little off, thats
all. Take me first. Besides the obvious, I say and sometimes do odd
things. You never quite know what will come out of my mouth. Then there
is Mark. Although he just might be the most normal of all, he still has
too much of my mom in him to be considered normal. He is obnoxious and
doesn’t hold back. John…….well, he’s John. Just when I think I’ve
got him figured out, he does something that makes me and others scratch
our heads. And, most people don’t know this, but he often makes weird
noises and says funky shit, not in front of people, but basically when
he is around just us. As for Roseann……….I don’t have the time or
enough space on this blog to even begin to explain her. I could almost
say the same thing for Carmen, the nudist, wican practicing mother of
2. I can just sum her up by saying that she never shutsup and used to
think her cats could talk to her, and this was without drugs. I can go
on and on about all of us, but really, its not fair to ruin everything.
Some things, you just have to find out for yourself. In closing, my
parents offspring are a little odd and different. Nice, but weird. If
nothing else, we are interesting and for the most part, you can always
count on having a good time…………..at least when you are with
either Mark or I.
