I wish I was asleep so I could be dreaming of an unrealistic goal of having a white christmas

hmm here we are....six months later....almost to the day of the last post. (I know you were counting) I'm like your favorite new tv show that you watch when your other five favorite tv shows aren't on, you have nothing better to do than to lay on the couch and suddenly my show comes on and you are too tired to switch channels but too awake not to watch. I'm like that. I know. You thought my show got cancelled. Well bitches, I'm back from the brink. Basically(in a nutshell) is that I tried to log on again like once, forgot the password, got reallypissedforfiveminutesforgotaboutitthoughtaboutiteverynowandthendidthislittleshouldershrugthingandwentahhhhhhhhhhhhh.................I'm lazy. And here I was not sleeping and waiting for the wii remote to charge so I can netflix it up again and I thought...why not? (That's how dedicated he is folks). I'll fire up the old digital pen and unleash some of this bullshit no one else will listen to or even half-believe.  So yeah what happened over the last six months? Well I'll consider this like a back to school "What I did on summer vacation" essay. And if that doesn't get you excited........... So. Well I did enjoy the rest of my summer. Stuff happened. Burgers with a side of kettle brand jalapeno chips were eaten. Future skin cancer cells were helped along by heading to the beach with my stellar beach bod mostly revealed.( I'll leave it up to you whether or not this is complete fiction. It's like a choose your own adventure book. If you think Josh is a flabby lying fat-ass turn to page 37, if you think he's injured from how ripped he is turn to 63.) (Although if you have ever eaten kettle brand jalapeno chips then you might know. You just can't stop. My god it's a disease.) So anywho. That happened. Then fall happened. Turning colors and you know....all that other shit. AND...may I elaborate on that little phrase; "that other shit" I WENT BACK TO COLLEGE!!(they're thinking, he went back to college and he still writes like an over eager illiterate dipshit? Well let me respond to that by saying..... if ya been there you know they're ain't a shortage of those at university level. And you should see the students. HA. Just kidding. Well............) Yeah so I went back for psychology. And hey I earned that phrase "back to college." I totally did a quarter back in '06. YEAH. So that happened. And man...did that happen. The daily sched. was like 8-12, college life. 12-2. Married and parent life. 230-1030, oh my god my soul has slowly perished, work life. 1030 to ehh....1200-1230 ish, oh my god my soul is still slowly perishing, homework. Then 100 to like ten minutes later, falling asleep to a tv show on DVD. Then WHAM BAM THANK YOU STAN, it started over. (And may I say, thank god for tv shows on DVD. Thank you) Anyway, you know I'm gettin a little depressed about this now considering I'm going back in January, so I think we'll segway with a little "so. that happened". But it's over now and I passed everything. (Didn't even have to use that bullet I threatened to put in their head) And here we are the eve of christmas. Going to my parents this evening, catch up with my one sister who is in town and her fam. (I know that extra "ily" totally would have cramped up my fingers) And then off to the father-in-law's for the rest of Christmas Eve and staying the night with my wife's family. It's even the "modern family" thing. Her parents are split. So that is hard, needless to say. But when you are no longer in love, what are we expected to do? Well the answer is a lot of different things by a lot of different people. And when a truth like that comes about so devastating to all parties involved, I just don't think there is a "correct" response. A "politically correct" response yes. But a correct, yes this the path that will make all parties involved satisfied with the outcome type of response? Obviously not.(the path to your local watering hole might be the best bet) My wife's only two siblings, her brothers, both live with my father in law. And we traditionally spend Christmas Eve up there and Christmas morning before we head to my parents. And last christmas was my daughter's first and the awesome thing was on Christmas Day we weren't missing my mother in law. Because she was there. So while there may not be a "correct" choice, I think that was a damn good one. So anyway, I think the remote's fully charged now and I can close out this "what I did on my summer vacation" combined with the Christmas Eve after school special. Merry Christmas.
