Home is a different world for me and every time I venture back, I have to reacquaint myself with this world. This is the actual order of events thus far in the new world:
I stopped by a good friend's house the first night back to watch the laker's game (he loves the lakers and kobe). A couple beers later, his younger brother, also watching the game, calls over a couple of his younger friends. One of the younger girls was trying to be extra friendly towards me,to which I kindly explained that it was weird knowing that I graduated high school when she was still in middle school... the night ended shortly thereafter.
BUT before I left though I learned of an interesting story that I wish to tell as it's weird and only one party involved actually reads this blog. Story:
Man A(friend from Random Lake) goes to College A. His roommate, Man B, is dating Girl 1, from College B. Man A's other roommate, Man C, is dating Girl 2, also from College B. Girl 1 and Girl 2 are now roommates at the same sorority (randomly). Man 1, friend from college B, is "dating" Girl 1. Man A, actually dating Girl 1, has no idea about Man 1; no clue about the other way around. Girl 1 keeps both in limbo. Lesson: Everyone always finds out. (Yes, Man C and Girl 2 are irrelevant for the overall picture, but it adds to the extra weirdness.)
Christmas eve came and our family got together at our house; no gifts were opened. None. I learned that day that one of my cousins is five months pregnant, another is going to Cali to work for Paul Mitchell and a third got back together with his old (cool) girlfriend who originally dumped him for not growing up. The family's growing AND improving. That counts as three gifts. A good hint for me to continue the trend (second part).
On the other side of the family, I finally met my oldest sister. We hadn't met face to face in four years. She's really climbed the ladder at (sweet company) helps high-end customers integrate the company's new software into their systems (similar to this, but not exactly). She's living in London now and may move to Budapest or Paris in the next year. I also found out she ran two marathons. TWO. And they were both finished... in fucking Austin. My life and aspirations are slowly ending up very similar to hers. And we never had any real communication growing up. I wonder how much is really is my genes?
Finally, there was a fire in Random Lake. The bowling alley was the only thing to do in random lake when it's cold and you can't go ice fishing. Luckily for me, we "borrow" the neighbors unsecured internet connection so that I can pass the time blogging. (if it's unsecured, you deserve this, right?)
Lastly, Robot Chicken (example) is messed up. mmmmmmeeeesssssssseeeeeeeeeddddddd up. I completely blame the show for this "tidbit of my life" post.

you could have used the good old equation of x + y = z. that girl is going to get serious karma man. K A R M A.
good to hear that you've got "three gifts" which means you had an awesome time being random at random lake!! woohoo?? ask your sister for tips about running marathons and band aid.
and lastly robot chicken? go get some fried chicken!!
1. saw the fire on the news...which did not report the fire at one of our bars...but there are quite a few so not so much a loss
2. I am really confused by a lot of this post....
3. next time you should give the Man 1 etc, pretend names like Biff and Crystal. ups the interest factor by at least 2 points
Man 1 should be Man D. What goes comes around, damnit.
