curbdrop out of grace

today we just go and take a look

so i'm at my parent's house right now, mooching on food and talking to my dad. he started getting all philosophical on me about our family and the importance, like he always does. i always just keep quiet and don't mention the fact that he and my mom didn't exactly show this kind of interest when my brother and i are kids, so now they're half-ass trying to make up for it. but now we have our own lives which has grown distant from theirs... it reminds me of that cats craddle and the silver spoon song.

blah that was annyoing.

my dad said to me, "you know you're lucky to have grown up with a family that is so humerous." this was after i handed him my x-mas wish list, coming after a year where i recieved turtle wax and an ice scrapper from him as a gift.

i was like, "what are you talking about dad? that wasn't a funny gift. even if you meant it to be, there wasn't a real present behind the fact humerous one. so it wasn't funny. it was tragic."

he said, "well, you'll appreciate it in about 50 years. you'll look back and laugh."

i didn't tell him this, but i plan on being dead in 50 years. hell, i feel like i'm having a mid-life crisis so to speak. if that's actually true, that means i'll live until i'm 47.

dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun... i hope i die before i get old... dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun
