• Gah…. so again, a little more than a month has gone by since my last post. You know, I just haven’t been dreaming right since my last cold. I only have one dream to share with you that makes any sense at all, and that’s because it was very short….

  
  

  There was a guy in a bathtub who was being bled to death by a “cult.” When his blood had been drained to the last cup, he was given that cupt to drink in order to become a vampire.

  
  

  See? Very short… almost not worth mentioning.

  
  

  In other news… I just found out the other day that my father is dead. It’s just so weird. I hadn’t seen him in ten years, and had no intention of ever seeing him again. But it’s just the weirdest thing to know he’s finally dead. We always thought he’d die in a fight or drink himself to death, but apparently he had cancer and died in his hotel room where he was living. I doubt he even knew he had cancer, but the hospital said he was riddled with it when he was brought in, already dead.

  
  

  What’s really weird is that all three of his children were thinking about him at about the time of his death. Just wondering about him, you know? And the day he died, this little bird came right up to my window and perched on the screen for a few seconds before flying off.

  
  

  My mother won the lottery. It’s not as great as it sounds. She only won a little over $500, but hey, that’s more than $0. She actually won the money two days before my father died. It would have been much more significant if she had won afterwards… it would have been like he was trying to make up for all the years he beat her, but well, it’s not important eh? None of us will ever have to worry about him showing up on our doorsteps, drunk and onery, again. That was always my biggest fear. That he’d find out where we lived and show up to raise hell. I also worried that if I ever did go into politics, he’d do something imminent to embarrass me. Of course, his past actions could still embarrass me, but he hadn’t had anything to do with my upbringing since I was 3 years old, so I don’t know that it would really affect my academic or political career.

  
  

  It’s just weird, you know?

  
  

  Ah well, I’l try posting more often… but I’ve said that before, haven’t I? heh
