• Is it just me, or has Family Guy been awful since it came back?

  Last night I watched I Heart Huckabees. It was way out
  there………..very odd. However, I actually liked it. It was funny.
  Lilly Tomlin and Dustin Hoffman were prettty funny. If you are the type
  that gets high, I would suggest rollin’ some fatties and doobin’ it up
  throughout the movie, it might make more sense.

  Today we had a picnic with the extended family for Father’s Day. It was
  at Veterens Woods on Joliet rd. My aunt and uncle actually arrived
  there at 8 in the fucking morning! We didn’t get there til’ about
  11:30. Of course, we had beanbags. Before bags, though, we played
  catch, as most of us brought our gloves. Every family has their sport
  that they love. The Kennedys always play touch football at gatherings.
  We play baseball/softball or some variation. The whole time, we had the
  Cubs game playing on the radio, who got swept in New York. It wasn’t
  too frustrating of a loss, though. Teams go through highs and lows
  during a season. Right now, its a low time. On the other
  hand………they better start playing better and soon!

  After a while, we started playing beanbags. It was Mark and I against
  my cousin Matt and his sister, Ann. I was throwing against her and was
  awful. At one point, Mark said “You are losing to a girl!” and my rude
  ass cousin Tony (one of Ann’s other brothers) said “yeah, look who you
  are talking to though.” This pisses me off. I shot back in a pissed off
  tone “Thats funny. You are a funny guy.” I’m good-natured and usually
  can take people ripping on me. In fact, I find it funny when others rip
  on me about being gay.  I am not out to him, but he suspects as
  much. The thing is, he is always making some sort of rude comment to
  me, whether its about gays or other things. He is a bit of a racist and
  that of course pisses me off. Sometimes its not the comments that are
  upsetting, but who they come from. And because he has a history of
  being a dick, I did not like that. It is my fault, though, that I allow
  him to say some of the shit he says to me. That is changing, though and
  it starts with today. Next time he askes me an embarrassing question or
  says something rude, I’m going to flat out say “why do you say things
  like that to me? I don’t ever say those sort of things to you.” The
  thing is, he is best friends with my brother in addition to being my
  cousin. I want to keep things on good terms with him, but I also won’t
  allow him to continue saying shit. Family or not, its not right for him
  to say such things.

  We also had waterballoons which the kids kept breaking on me. It was
  cool though. I love waterballoons. I did hit them back, too, so it was
  all fun. And it was warm today, so it actually felt pretty good.

  After I played so awful in the first beanbag game, Mark booted me off
  his team. He teamed with my cousin Matt for a few games. The next game
  I played, I got paired with Mark again. I had a lot to prove, and I was
  on fire. We won, of course, and we wound up playing Tony. I did not
  forget his comments, so I was really focuses on beating him, which we
  did……….3 times.
  The food was pretty damn good, though, but I guess that goes without
  saying. Come to think of it, none of you want to hear about good food
  that I ate and that you can not have. Lets just forget I even mentioned
  it since you are going to get all pissed about it.

  We also played some frisbee. Damn, it was so much fun. Haven’t thrown around a frisbee in quite some time.

  My aunt and uncle are taking the mother of all road trips for their
  40th wedding anniversary. First, they are driving to Sacramento to see
  some friends. Then, Reno. Then, Deadwood, South Dakota. They are always
  taking this long and fun road trips. Its awesome. They love road trips.
  Once they retire, they will probably totally be the elderly couple that
  buys an RV and travels the country. Damn, I want to travel so much. I
  need a road trip. I want to find somebody and a big part of that is so
  that we can take road trips. Shit, I hope I have somebody that I can
  travel the country with at 60 years old. That would be the ultimate.
