Yes This is a day or 2 late, but this time, I have good reasons. In regards to Jan 15Th, 2010, yes it is the anniversary of when Aylen became mine, but it is also another anniversary. It is The anniversary of my Father's death. My Father Died Jan 15Th, 1993. If you recall, I have written of it before. Prior to the day, I called my mother to see if she had any plans and she was working at a silent auction, but we were still able to talk and hang out, and discuss of course, my father.I can say there was not much new that I learned, except for when my father was so drunk that he passed out in front of his troops in Greece. We shared a pizza, and had soup as well at the soup benefit (part of the silent auction).All and all, not too bad of a day considering my past Jan 15Ths. I am hoping they will get better and that my karma string there is finally broken. My mother did again mention that "we need to go to Germany". Admittedly, I was not crazy about the idea at first. But , I decided to do so. Another discussion we had was over my mother's remains, when she cross the bar. The topic of death is never a conversation any child likes to have with their parents, especially if they are close, but it is one that is important.My mother stated that she wished to be cremated,which is no shock, but when I asked about the ashes, she told me that I could keep them with me.I exclaimed "ewww., Mom!, that is a rather morbid thought!" Of course it was. I will admit to finding that thought a bit creepy, though I know it is done frequently. After talking with Aylen, she Made me realize that was not such a bad idea after all. That is one of the things I love about Aylen, she is a very bright girl. She is so much to me, so much more then the rest of the world sees. To me, that is fine, I rather enjoy having her all to myself.We Watched several movies over my days off, that being sweeney todd, and marley and me. both were excellent, but Sweeney todd was as bizarre as any movie I would expect to see from Tim Burton. That said, according to the research I have done on it, it was a weird story before he got a hold of it. Perhaps he just brought it to it's full brilliance.Marley and me was a relatively sad story, despite the fact it was supposed to be a family movie. Simply Put, a story of a couple and their dog. In the World of Warcraft, we Lost a guildie to another guild, which I later learned was headed by one of our former guild members. To say I felt betrayed by her lie would be an understatement. That said, I let her have it, and believe it or not, I feel much better now. The cathartic effect on me surprised me a bit. Though, perhaps not so much, I did not care for her anyway. Aylen is doing Very well in wow, despite being frustrated, and I have begun to lash back as well, though not at her. The groups she needs to get in to ask for something called an achievement as proof she has been there before and completed it. That is all very good and well, but i see a problem with that. If you run with a fail group, you won't get it no matter how non-fail you may be. You are in essence penalized for the people you run with. Hopefully this will change with the both of us soon enough.
Until next time,
Spencer
