Today was a very lackidasical day for me. It involves struggle, embarassment, pride, anticipation, surprise, focus, force, and triumph. Even though today is a powerful mix of these ingrediants, the final concauction is that of a smooth cinnamon drink.

Struggle & Force: I woke today a little early at around 7:00. after finding a pair of shorts, a couple socks (an amazing feat of hunting), andmy shoes I set to work on the yard. My task was to break some hard dirt to shovel and move to another location on the otherside of the house. I am preparing to lay some sod down (think grass carpet) in the back where sand was moved way. It is a project to expand the lawn in the back. Complete with blisters on my hands and sweat on my back I was happy to complete todays task with my cousin early.

Focus & Pride: Directly after the yard work I had the task of driving my cousin home to get ready for work He had spent the night so we could do a little yard work yesterday, as well as to cross some animals in one of our favorite video games. I deposited my check en route to his home and got him hoe on time. I decided to stay a while at his home to play with his little brother Fabian who is 9. Fabian is an ipressive little man who never comes across as a little kid, I always feel like I am hangin' with one my bestest buds with him. Fabians brother had finished getting prepared for work and I took him to work. Once I arrived at home I had a little soda with my grampa and afterwards posted some bloggage on Opera infamous Nintendo Group which I am very pleased to say I am a part of (co-moderator).

Embarrasment & Surprise: At first I was just surprised to hear that we were having y mother and uncle over to dinner, it doesnt happen daily, andI was sure it was to be nice, which it was... mostely. This is where the ebarassment kicks in, my mother while ever getting fully out of hand was already under alcoholic ifluence, just slightly, but enough to make me feel uncomfortable around her. She gets a fake NY accent and is loud and acts childish. The night ended well regardless.

Finally, Anticipation: Ah, one of the last things I dd today was order from import shop Lik Sang a copy of the newest pokemon game to come out in Japan: Pokemon Pearl, the game is confirmed to come out in the US but I wanted to get one imported for collector purposes as well as pure fun, I simply can't wait till it comes out here.
