so, you guys may have known i had the say off today. early labor day. haha and some may also know i was up real late last night. 2:30 in fact. well i got up today at 12:30. called my Uncle. he wanted me to drive down to his house later on. he lives near my school. he said he had to run some airens and he'd call me when i should head over. well my friend txtd me and wanted to jam today. yeah, im in a band. forgot ot tell you guys haha. its a ska band. only practiced once so far. well i packed my drum set up, headed over to his house, put it back together, and got another phone call from my uncle. i left my friends house, and left my drums with him. we'll practice again before the weekends over.
i got on the highway and was supriced to see so much traphic going into the city at 4. its because a cop pulled somone over and everyone has to see whats going on now a day. got to his house and was greated by my cousins. ones 4 and the others 9. the 4 year old is a boy, and the 9 year old is a girl. haha the boy likes hitting everyone, so i got a head but on my hands, which were covering somthing up =P his heads right there. so when he hugs me, i gota cover them up too haha. the girl just likes me to pick her up. my uncle is a really cool guy. probably 37 or somthing like that. hes a big guy in the gut region. he dips 24/7. he even swallows. its kinda nasty, but i love the guy to death. he also drinks alot. not like an alchoholic, but when he knows he dosent have to drive, and his kids are eather asleep, or close to it, he'll go through 6 beers. well when i got there, i played lego starwars on there wii. the 4 year old cant really play, so i used one of the remotes and helped him out.
after that, we got ready, and went to a grilled cheese place. it was great. i had some sort of crap grilled cheese. loved it haha.
then we headed over into the city. there was a free concert. i dident know anyone, but i watched the kids and talked to my uncle. some of his friends were there too. he knew id watch his kids and id drive them all home, so he had a few beers. no biggy. i dident mind. and he was still a great parent. the boy come over crying once and he took care of it.
the concert was alright. it was a blues band. the highlight was talking to my uncle though. he was talking about college with me. he said for every hour of class i have in college, i should spend 2 hours studying. makes sence to me. 3 hours of class a day, 3-6 hours studying, then partying till i pass out haha. he also said he dident care if i drank, he even dident care if i smoked a little weed, but he told me never to do crack or meth. haha i had herd that before. he always tells me that. he was as big of a pot head as my dad. i knew that. he wasent fooling me =P
after the show, i drove them home, and stayed for a little. we got home at 10, and i left there house at 11. he took the kids upstairs and gave them showers. then i said good night and helped get them to sleep.
after that i went to the basement with my uncle and talked about the town i live in. he grew up there too, so he told me some ghost stories about it and stuff.
oh, he is married, but his wife, my aunt, was on a trip for somones wedding.
that was my night haha.
Peace!
PS, anyone know of any movies like beutiful thing? like younger coming of age gay films? thanks!

cool post. spending time with well cool family members like your uncle is time well spent. you are an awesome cousin! it's cool when you get to be the "favorite cousin" and that's what it sounds like you were for yours!
a band? nice. i did sound and lights plus a little pyro for a band many years ago, and spent a couple of years doing roadie work. i wish i had more musical talent!
pot is a decision you'll have to make at some point. i'll get sh!t about my stance towards it if some of the other bloggers who follow you young guys see this, but i'm not opposed to pot use. in moderation. discretely. and only IF you can separate pot use from any other drugs...he is correct...nothing else...but some pot isn't too harmful...
sounds like you had an awesome family night, with awesome people!
COOL!

Hey kid... So nice to see you posting again, only I have to get used to it, all over!! I used to check, all the time, but, after you stopped posting regularly, I got a little discouraged... So, welcome back!!
Anyways, I don't know what it is, but, you seem like a different person... I guess it's that you're growing up, or something!!
This is a good thing, of course, but, it takes some getting used to, like the wonderful way you talk about your little cousins... I found that heartwarming!! I know what you mean about kids that age... their heads are like deadly weapons!! Just at the wrong height!! lol I attended my nephew's 6th birthday party about a month ago, and there were all these little 6 year old rugrats... They all know me by now-- I'm the uncle that treats them all like my own, and, they have grown accustomed to me going into character (this year an Alien, kid-eating, creature) and, chasing them around the back yard like a maniac... At one point, I had 5 of the little monsters clinging to me, trying to take me down... Naw!! Ain't gonna happen!! Only one problem-- one of the kids behind me (real strong kid... actually older, I think...8 maybe) got ahold of my shorts top, and nearly pantsed me... I mean, he had them halfway down, and was working on my undies!! Little squirt!! lol I turned him around, somehow, and kicked his little butt into the wading pool, clothes and all!!
So, be careful with the little dudes--they're fun, but, treacherous!! lol
Coming of age movie... tons... but, here's a really good one -----http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0242587/ ..... It's called L.I.E., short for Long Island Expressway... really good, high quality film!! Enjoy, chippy!! luv, tman<3
This is a really nice, interesting post. It sounds like you had a very nice day. Thanks for telling us all about it.
Jay, haha i love my cousins, and i hope i spend enough time with them to be that close =)
any big bands? or type of music?
i've made that decision already haha. i agree with you, but i dont blog about it anyore. i hate the controversy it made here so out of sight out of mind =)
Tman, haha yeah im glad too. a fast laptop makes such a differnce. ill try and keep the fequent posts up.
haha well im glad people can see that =)
haha sounds like you are always the life of the party. i think i should make a company that makes cups with padding for the other side too. id wear it every time i see the small kids
ill look into that movie when i get a chance.
Brian, thanks for reading
Peace!!!
Did some local crew work for AC/DC, Aerosmith, Chicago, Heart, a few others. It was fun, kinda exciting to be backstage with the stars (but you never got real close to them - only people you interacted with was the road manager and production manager and their road crew)...our little band was a bar band, proms, 4th of July picnics - a huge difference from swinging around in the rafters of an arena rigging sound systems and lighting trusses! We covered a lot of what we now call "classic rock".

Hey tman - LIE is a great movie - Paul Dano is great in it and has gone on to a lot of great roles from there
Shelter is amazing - you should definitely see it
there's a million others - but it's too late for me to think str8

@goleftatthefork... Yeah, cool movie, eh? Great acting; meandering but intriguing story... One of my favorites... Another one... a little weird, but, strangely intriguing... I think, more contemporary, even, is 'Wild Tigers I Have Known... http://www.kickasstorrents.com/search/wild-tigers-i-have-known/
check it out, Peter, if you have the time, or, if your car runs out of gas.. lol luv, tman<3
tman - saw Wild Tigers - great film - a little too artsy - sort of like Elephant (Gus van Sant film)
they are a little hard to get throught but anything by Scott Heim - the book and film versions of Mysterious Skin were good as well as a book called We Disappear. Neither specifically "gay" but good stories and gay characters.
