Anyways....here's a little bit about me.
Currently, I am a student majoring in criminal justice and am taking five classes this semester. I also work full time for First Call/O'Reilly Auto Parts (formerly Kragen Auto Parts) as a Manager/Parts Pro/Driver. I have been working their for five years as of last month. I been needing a new job/career for awhile but I found it to be a difficult task with just a high school diploma and a criminal record (fortunately I have since had the charge expunged). I tried college right after high school but found I liked hanging out with my friends than sitting in a class room. From time to time I regret not staying in school, but I'm glad I finally went back and am doing very well now. I am also glad (I don't know if that's the best word to use.) that I didn't go to college right after high school because some of the best memories of my life came out of those times. Most of the drama in my life now has been with family. Yesterday, Saturday the 29th, we had a farewell party for my Grandma Joan. Last month at Christmas, she announced that she had sold her house and would be moving to Missouri to live with her sister. The fact that she is moving away isn't so much what is dramatic. Its just the way she's going about it. It just seems like such a rash and selfish decision. She sold all her furniture, her car, and gave away all her family pictures and keepsakes, and has said that one of the kids could have her funeral plot that is with my grandpa. Its really strange. It feels a little like she's abandoning us and could care less about it and has no plans to ever see us again. She even reminded me of my dad, which is not a good thing, with something she said. I only met him once in my life when I was 9. When we were saying our goodbyes she said the same thing he said...."Have a nice life" which I think is a really rude thing to say to someone you "love". I don't know if my dad "loved" me or what but I still think it's something stupid to say to anyone like I mean so little to you that you have no intention of ever having contact with me again and the best thing you can do is wish me a nice life... like what the hell.... but anyways. There is also the drama that is going on between my uncles who are not talking to one another that they couldn't even have the decency to come to the party and say bye to their mom. Okay, so my Uncle Mike was sick... but still if my mom was moving away and I didn't know what her real motives were and if she ever wanted to see me again I'd still wanna see her before she left. That really bothered me too. It was kind of depressing. I have 4 aunts and 2 uncles, not including my mom and the only people there were my mom and my aunts Janice and Debbie. I'm still glad I got to see her before she left.
I'll miss you Grandma Joan and I love you.
