Server is Down

Our server is down. It is much like having a sub in the 3rd grade. I would be better off at home as I am doing very little, as everything I could be doing would require being on the server.

Such is my burden.

We missed KRS10's birthday part last weekend. Happy 30th!! We wanted to go, but both grandmothers had Christmas parties to attend and were unavailable. It seems like all had a good time.

We went to a baby shower for Powers and Brandy. Actually the Mrs and the Younger went to the shower. I went with Powers to play pool. It was such a macho thing to do that while playing pool I had a burger and drank draft light beer. Sometimes I like to be a dude.

Here is a funny story. On Thanksgiving I called to talk to my mother and sister and wish them well. When I was done talking with my sister she said something nice in salutation and I said, "thank you". I did not think about it much, but the Mrs and the sister of Mrs were a gasp. I guess I should have reciprocated in kind and that, "thank you" was not a good way to end a call. Who knew?

I am often times confounded by the relationship I have with my family. Not the Mrs and the Younger, but my mom and sister and those types. I mean I do love them in my own way, and wish them nothing but the best, and generally I care for them. I just have some blockage that keeps me from getting all emotional about them. And the further away on the family tree, the less trouble I have noting the blockage to the point where I am not too concerned about them. I have a truck load of cousins and aunts and so on that I just can't make room for in my limited circle of caring.

I don't wish them ill, nor I am overly rude to them when I am guilted into seeing them at some function or another, but in large I am not interested in seeing them at all. I don't care what they are doing, and I don't want them to care about me.

I think this must have something to do with my childhood. I wish I figure out a way to sue my 1st grade teacher for this but don't have any reason to blame Mrs Bibler, so I will go on as before dreading the next time I have to see these people.

wow, that must kinda be like ya know suck a little bit not having anything to do with your time at work while the man (mat jones) fixes the thing with which you must do your work by and when its not there you try and figure out what to do so you blog and a good thing the internet still works inspite of the server that way you can have something to do while you wait for the server to come back on line and really do what you want when the server comes back on line because it really offers you the time to be creative and express yourself on this blog and sometimes you might wonder what gerald ford or eisenhower might have blogged about not certianly anything like our shitheel president would have blogged about but real things like love and music and fine food and wine and what to do with the russians if you're regan or what to do with the populace if you're buchanan and don't give a shit you just figure lincoln will deal with it and the eminent civil war but if you had hindsight you'd figure out there would be no monument for you but oh well truman won't get one either and he did lots of shit kinda like spok on star trek but he's not the most widely known that shatner guy is and he gets his own tv show now where he gets to think about schtuping candice bergin. man what a good life we live...

I don't even like to talk to them when we are together. I don't think I am a bad person and I am sure you are not either. Chad may be though.

I guess I agree with the fact that I don't often think about my extended family when I'm not with them. But I have to say, I do like the idea that out there in the world are people who are related to me. I don't really know why.

Sign me up- if you where real about the Bibler case. We could go class-action. Chad and I had her for 2nd grade but she was "Swaney" by then.--(Jerome did the most emotional damage though - she's a bitch face)
