my father is working at my computer setup trying to get my mother's new computer ready for use. i haven't been able to use my computer for two days now.
thus, no site updates...
two nights ago, Eric, Hani, Jeremy, and I went to Walmart to find some games to play. we ended up buying Moods and Battle of the Sexes. Instead of plyaing the games that night though, we ended up driving around b-town. hani drove us to crocket street which about 1/10th of what 6th street is to Austin. we just walked around and looked at the clubs, bars, and people. it was short walk. :D
we then drove around the downtown area along the port of beaumont and looked at great big vessels and oil refinaries which beaumont is known for. we got lost somewhat in the bad neighborhoods...or at least that's what everyone calls them since a lot crime happens there. a lot of people in the car were making fun of the broken down houses and close location to the pollution of the refinaries. yet, as i looked at the houses, i noticed signs of humanity eveywhere. there were little flower pots and trees on the porch. on the front door, many people had beautiful welcome wreaths. and, so many people had christmas lights decorating their houses. i was thinking that maybe these people aren't so poor really, at least not at heart.
yesterday, jeremy and i took his mother out to eat at Johnny Corrinos which is another Italian chain resaurant. actually, she paid for it but we kept her company. :D after we ate, we went back to their house and she and I went through old pictures of the family so i could pick out which ones i wanted scanned. jeremy isn't one for nostalgia so he doesn't have any pictures of his family with him. we found this old picture of his mother taken for her first marriage and it was so beautiful. it looked like something out of a fairy tale...which goes to show how deceptive pictures are. they eneded up getting their marriage annulled not long after they were married. the photo was done in brown tone and it is stunning. she has beautiful eyes which jeremy has also.
later that night, while jeremy, john, my dad, and i were talking about the future of technology, i turned 25. it popped on my dad's calender software and he was like "op! happy birthday!" hehe. so yes. i'm now a quarter of a century old.
i'm planning on going shopping today. i need to return a hoodie i got and look for some shoes. i think i might stop by Maggie Moo's Ice cream today and treat myself to some ice cream.
