Awesome Josh

I’m going to cover three topics in one post. In a sense they are all related so this is why I am doing such a crazy thing. That, and I’m way too hyper to sit down and plan out more than one post.

When I wrote my previous post last night, about my friend and her ex boyfriend, I was super pissed off. And I think that being pissed off was justifiable. Nobody should have to put up with shit like that and I don’t like to see people put up with it. After talking in IRC and after writing that post, I calmed down enough to the point where I could actually think straight. If I went and I beat him up, how would that make me a better person? I would, essentially, be doing the same thing that he had been doing to her. That isn’t right. I am, by no means, a violent person and I’d rather get the shit beaten out of me and not fight back. I don’t get angry often, I’m pretty laid back, and so I got to see a side of myself that I didn’t really like, but at the same time, I also saw a side of me that makes me feel more “human.” I realized that beating him up wouldn’t have solved anything and no matter how good it might have felt to actually “do” something about the situation, it wouldn’t have fixed anything and it probably would have made the whole thing worse. So no, I didn’t kick his ass, even thought that’s what I wanted to do.

This afternoon, I received a phone call from Gaby. She was telling me about this game that her friend Jeane had been playing. She said it was a puzzle, search, scavenger hunt kind of game on the internet. I figured, why the hell not. Gaby and I did it together. It took us a total of 3 hours to finish the whole game, but apparently it’s supposed to be a lot harder than that. It’s taken a lot of people days, and even weeks, to finish it. I apologize if you’ve heard of this game before, because it is a couple years old, but if you haven’t participated in this before, go and do it and see if you can beat my time. If you need help, I’ll be happy to provide some hints, just leave a comment here or message me somehow. So go forth and play, I challenge you. By the way, there are 30 levels.

This is the last bit of news. Last night I was talking with my mom who was telling me how my dad was having a hard time sleeping because of his back. By the way, I should point out that I’m always the last to know this sort of thing. Apparently, he has a tumor on his spine and he has to go see a surgeon. This is all I know. I did, however, know about his other tumor which happens to be on his chest. So he has two tumors. That’s all I know so far. I’m not really sure how I feel about this. I’m not close to my dad, or my mom for that matter, but he is still my dad. We haven’t been on friendly terms in awhile, and we always seem to get along better when I’m not living with them, but that’s another story. I’m not really sure what to expect from this, and I’m not going to get carried away with it. There are all sorts of things that could happen from this, yes, but either it hasn’t sunk in yet or I’m just taking it slow and waiting to see what comes of his visit to the surgeon. We shall see.
