::Viva Las Vegas::


I swear...I have Vegas on the brain. I can't wait for this little diverson so I don't over think about crap and crap and more crap. I found out today that the relatives we're supposed to be meeting up with want to follow us home and pack into our little shack. I mean it's not really a shack, but it's bad enough having our family of 6 all in there at once. Now they want to double that. There's going to be a whole lot of sleeping on couches and floors...you know how we do it. REFUGEE STYLE! I kind of dread seeing relatives. I can't help it...it's that whole we want to know what's going on with your life so that we can compare you to all your other cousins type deal. I don't dig that man! I hate how they do that to me all the time. All the hey your cousin so and so is a nurse, why didn't you become one? You'd be making money by now. You'll always have job security. All valid points, but they just think I'm fucking around by trying to be my own independent person. They just want me to relive their lives. I can't go for that shiz! It's not me. I don't want to deal with that job. Just ain't happening. I mean c'mon now, like my goal of getting a Masters in Econ is going to leave me broke and uncapable of caring for myself. I've been trying to take the steps to get there, but they're freaking out because I plan to go back to school only part time. I'm working full time so I don't have to ask them for money. Isn't that something they can appreciate? I'm still goal oriented and everything, just trying to be an adult at the same time. That's not wrong is it? I dunno. That's one of the things that's been bothering me lately. I mean not everyone understands our family dynamic, but if they did they'd understand why I make some of my decisions. Aww...hell. My last break is almost over. I gotta get back to answering them damned Petco e-mails. I'll rant and ramble more later. I know you kids absolutely LOVE that. Much respect...that's one of the many things we need nowadays. It's just that some people don't know how to give it so they can get it.


Random Blurb: I'm going to watch those gay guys and their tiger when I get to the Mirage...LOL
