I ‘member back in the olden days where I spent countless in chat (before the term blog was ever even considered), although I do have an obscene amount of hysterical logs which I plan to throw up here one of these days, but my best friend Snookie and I would arrive at a point where we just needed to push away from the puter and take a break.  We’d still check our email and lil things like that, but… ya know.  So lately I find myself walking by my computer; pondering a surf, screwing around a bit or just checking my email but all I can manage is an uninterested grunt and the only true appeal is my vibrating chair.  

With that in mind my cousin, who’s really like a lil brother to me, is coming to visit.  As a seventeen year old with a less than nurturing home, plus being a young man the poor dear’s hormones are raging in opposite directions, it’s no surprise he’s found solace inna online computer game.  However consequently his grades have dropped, he failed a class (but it was geometry and who the fuck needs that?) and he’s been feeling rather depressed.  So while he’s here we’re gonna work around the house, go out and do things, talk, play games and obviously keep the computer activity to a minimum – and I only think it’s fair that we all back off from the computer as opposed to just barring him.

Poor guy:  Do you know the only person who called him on his birthday was his dad?  (I know, I’m shit too).  His Mother was out of town and didn’t even call him.  He spent his entire seventeenth birthday alone and unimaginably depressed – if not a lil suicidal.  So I’m attempting to throw a surprise party for him.  I’ve already ordered him some cool stuff like a Napoleon Dynamite bobble head and t-shirts from What on Earth; even got him a t-shirt from T-Shirt Hell (a tame one mind you *cough* I got me some that weren't so tame) and we’re gonna buy him a MP3 player like mine so he can upload any of my songs he likes.  I’m gonna attempt to put this altogether, hide the presents and just make it look like we’re going out to dinner; never been to this place before, The Forge in the Forest, but it looks damn cool.  He really loved the Lord of the Rings trilogy and read all the books.  Doesn’t it just look like there should be Hobbits running around there?

To sum this up:  I’ll check my email from time to time and ya may see me nosin around your blogs, but I probably won’t be doin much chattin.

However I am gonna post a few pictures fishing for opinions onna photo contest from the AFRP that I wanna enter.  I’m not gonna bother to put ‘em in lockdown or anything, so no worries there.
