Yeah, that trick doesn't work anymore does it :lol: :lol: :lol:
Anyway, I'm out for the next week. Doing the same bullsh*t as usual, but for those who don't know the story, allow me to explain the bain of my existence...relatives.
Every year, we have this goddamn family reunion in the backwoods. I'm not a fan of this. In fact, I can't stand most/any/all of those people to any rational extent, but my dad does. So why do I go? Because if I don't go, neither does my dad. He had a stroke several years ago after his burn accident, and to be able to go stay out in the deer woods for that amount of time, he's got to have someone down there to manage his 20+ medications three times a day, two daily insulin shots, and all that other miserable stuff. His ignorant brothers down there couldn't do it if they wanted to, so it falls to me. I honestly don't know how many more years he will even be healthy enough to make the trip, so I try to do everything I can to help him enjoy his time down there while he can still enjoy it, even though it lands at the absolute worst time for me. That's why I'm going to be gone this next week. Usually, it lands earlier in the month, but that's not the case this time.
So yeah, I'm going to have to drive about 24 hours or so to get home in time to pick up my Wii, and then stand out in the cold, freezing, with my allergies undoubtedly fairing up (like they always do at this time of the year). It'll be hell to make it back in time, but I have to do it.
So yeah, do me a favor guys. Play Gears of War co-op or something when I get home. I'm going to need it, because I'll be sick as hell when I get back.
See you all in a week. I'm off to redneck hell now.
