A Day in My Life

Ok, so this is my first time ever bloggng. Decided to give this a try. I guess I will just go through my week :-).

Friday:

Friday was a good day. Two of my favorite cousins came over for brunch. Talked to them for a while. I feel really bad for them because they have been trying to have a baby for years and just does not seem to work. They really would be great parents though. Made me start thinking about my own family. I want responsibility. I want someone to take care of and have a parternship with. I think I want to get married sometimes because I want support. I feel like I am a support to a lot of people, but often times I am lacking that same support. Given what I believe my purpose in life is, I do not forsee me getting the same kind of support. This is fine of course, I am not complaining because I really do believe that tis is my calling, to be that support for others while helping them realize their true potential. Given all this, I often lose my energy very quickly. People often wonder why I am always thinking or drained. I am very introverted, so I need my time to recharge. I often m always wondering about other people and their issues or problems.

Anyway enough about that ranting. I know that I am not ready to get married, but that kind of support is something that I am definitely looking forward to. I took my Mom out to get groceries and other errands after that. I really do not mind taking my Mom everywhere because she cannot drive, but I really wish my brother stepped it up more. I feel like I make a lot of sacrifices and trying to be the Head of the House when it hould be more him because he is older. Have to keep the family together though. I am worried about him, but all we can do is pray and keep trying to keep everything on the right path.

After all this I drove down to Purdue to meet up with Brian, Joe, Spencer, Ronnie, Garret, and Evan. I was a REALLY good time. We went to Spagheddis and ate dinner there. Joe is a hoot. He has not changed a bit. Always joking and having a good time. You CANNOT smile and be happy when you are around him. He's more than just jokes though, one of the most intellectual, down the Earth guys I know. People just do not ever take the time to get to know him like I have had the priviledge to. That is a problem with our fraternity I think, so many of the relationships are very superficial in the sense that people bond over jokes and drinking. That is great and always fun times, but there is value in really getting to know someone. I really believe that I made the most of that. I could not forge that type of relationship wth every brother, but I believe I can rival most brothers in forming the most lasting relationships.

It was so great to see all the other brothers as well. It was so fun that we sat there and talked for two hours. Afterwards we drove for an hour trying to find the Phi Psi House at Purdue only to find it closed :-/. It was still an adventure trying to find it. I had to call like 20 people in my phone book trying to find it, even people I have not talked to in years lol. The house was very cool though, seems like much more than 3 million, the reported cost of the new house. Ronnie was in my car most of the time. Really great talking to him. Ronnie is one of the most supportive friends I have, and though he does not always express it, I know he knows me better than most of my friend. He truly understands me and my emotions.

After that I went home, and began watching the Tudors. Pretty good show, not as good as Rome or True Blood, but nevertheless entertaining. I went to bed around 4 AM, a great end to an amazing night with my brothers.

Saturday:

Saturday was pretty boring throughout the day. Just showered and did random errands and what not. It was Khushalyi, a religious holiday, so we went to Khane ("Church") in the evening. My Mom's legs and arms were bothering her, plus it was going to be like 2 hours long, so we decided to go late. After getting there we took my cousins, Alia and Alisha, to Devon where we met people for Indian Food. Very good times, though I have never been more irritated with children. I have NEVER heard voices like those little monsters. I actually at one point turned around and yelled at them. All of them were pretty shocked because I am surprisingly very timid and quiet at home.

We had to drop my cousins off on the South Side after dinner and did not get home till about 1 AM. I was very tired, but decided to watch some more Tudors. Getting less and less impressed, have to say...

Sunday:

Sunday was actually pretty fun. One of my cousins came over for lunch and brought some good food. Just snacked on that since I was going to Sarah's Graduation party later on. Amanda picked me up around 5, and then we picked up Mirjana before we headed over to Sarah's. It was actually a really good time. It was nice hanging out with the old gang, catching up, making fun of old times. Always a good time. I miss having friends to do that with, old friends that have known me for years rather than just a few.

I was really tired after I got back, so I went to bed "early" by like 1 lol.

Monday:

I woke up on Monday, packed my things, dropped my Mom off at work, and then headed to Indy! I made alright time, about 2.5 hours from Chicago. Brady and I hung out for a while at his place. Nice talking to him and catching up. Its been three weeks since I've really had a chance to talk to him. He's become really busy and does not have as much time anymore. Understandable, especially since I taught him to be this way lol, but yeah, he will do great things. Sad I cannot be there to see it all.

After that we went to Hooters and Tatum had dinner with us. Wings were decent, not as good as I remember them to be. I dropped Brady off after that and went to Nick's soccer game. Tatum and Derek are both on crutches, and I feel bad for them but it is also very comical. It is fun times, especially since I just ask Alicia for random soccer terms to yell at the people. Nick is always saying random stuff, so I laugh and mock him... in a nice way of course :-).

Went to Ritters with D-go and Alicia after then, then over to D-gos to smoke hookah with them and watch Mr. and Mrs. Smith. I just spend the night there on their amazing couch :-).

Tuesday:

I woke up on Tuesday, and went to Housing after I showered and got ready. I gave Vicky her present from Africa, and I think she really liked it. We talked about Housing stuff, and it was nice to hear about all the new stuff. I miss my time as an RA a lot, but glad to hear that things are going well. All my little ones will definitely enjoy their experience.

I made Nick go to Jimmy Johns with me afterwards, though he refused time and time again. I went to the House after that and had a great time though. Just shot the breeze with a few of the brothers and then played Smash Bros. Joe and I were the only ones of the original crew, but it was still lots of fun. Jiggly puff battles, battle of the Roys, and WELCOME BACK!

Brady and I then went and got some delicious Thai Food at his favorite one in Broad Ripple. A lot more people were supposed to come, but they all bailed like douches. It was still fun though. We went and hung out at the house them, where McGee and Nasty came by. It was good to see them after a long time.

Went and saw Harry Potter after that. I decided I really liked the first two hours, but the last hour pissed me off...*SPOILER ALERT* I just did not like how they cut out the battle scene. I know it was not integral to the story, but it was definitely the coolest part of the book. *SPOILER ALERT*

Anyway I know it is Wednesday, but I will write about that another day!

Woot, first post finished!
