When I decide that I ran out of things to do I distract myself with marathon television series that I believe will help me be a better writer. I really believe shows like Scandal, The West Wing, The Borgia's, Breaking Bad and Alfred Hitchcock Presents will help my writing improve. The only problem with this thought is that I have not written anything outside of grocery and cleaning list.
Plus I have taken myself out as a 608er (Re: Ani DiFranco Educated Guess) I am tired of the same craziness that happens on a daily basis and yet no one seems to do anything about it except complain that it is happening. So to catch everyone up here is the latest 608er news:
The old people have moved in any and everyone who decided that they are tired of paying to live. Although they don't have to pay rent, groceries, gas or lights and get the privilege of having their every personal need taking care of (toilet paper, deodorant, bar & laundry soap, etc) they don't see the need to help clean the house. It's not a huge house and the old people only use 4 rooms, all downstairs. But to get one of those trifling people to actually dust, vacuum or wash dishes is too much like actual work. God forbid they lower themselves to actually do anything to get their hands dirty.
Madam Morbid is dying of some unknown disease but doesn't have anyone helping her with her last days. I am not sure what or how long she has, just that she was given a deadline (no pun intended) that is sooner rather than later. My parents think we should all drop what we are doing to come and make peace with her, but most of us are thinking long and hard about the make-up part seeing as we have all swung that tree too many times before. I wonder if we don't will we who still expect to live for another 50 or so years be judged as assholes or are we assholes because our mother raised us to be assholes?
Our Sister of Perpetual Pity is planning a big wedding to some unknown guy with no real background. We know nothing about him just what she says about him. Now least anyone of should care about this but she is still our sister and we only hope she chooses wisely this time. But sometime she not the sharpest knife in the drawer and that dullness could lead to her being used for things she didn't see coming. Just saying.
Sister Rona News Reporter broke her leg, Sister PeeWee South visited and left in a hurry with a wealth of stories to share. Sister Search has moved yet again and thinking about moving again.
Meanwhile, a favorite niece heart laid her out and scared us all for about month, another moved to San Jose. Some relatives aren't doing anything except discovering sex, drugs and welfare. While others are struggling to become something more than the same things that most of us are. Some relatives are just trifling and bothersome.
New babies were born or are on there way and our family is growing so fast that I am sure my sons don't know some of their first cousins let alone the second or third. Sad really when you think about it. We have so much in common with our brothers and sisters and yet our children are strangers to each other.
It might be a good idea to have another reunion with all of us, but this time get all the original 608ers there with all the spouses, grandkids, great-grands and so on. Even the dogs, cats, fish, horse, snakes & birds should attend.
The point is there is a lot going on in everybody lives and its time, especially with Madam Morbid given a deadline, to check back in with everyone, reconnect and remember what ties up together. The very fact that we survived the craziness of 608 and lived to tell about it.
