I am a strange weather day...
It's been kindof a strange week for me. I hung out w/ 2 of my cousins. Well, one is more of a family friend-type cousin, but my family and their family have been good friends all my life. The other is a 2nd cousin, as I don't have any of my 1st cousins in the states. Anyway, yeah, I hung out w/ them. It was pretty cool. I got to catch up and chat with them and find out what was going on in their lives. So it got me thinking...I never really saw myself to be a big family guy...meaning, like someone who hangs out with their cousins all the time. A lot of people I know, even Cicely, have big families that get together alot. I guess that's one of the drawbacks to really only having my most immediate family, and a small one at that. Don't get me wrong, I love my family, and I would never trade them in, but I have to admit that I do get a little envious of those big big families that have all these crazy get-togethers with all the cousins and stuff. It's so cool to see. Well, that's how my life would be in the Philippines, but I'm not in the Philippines...I'm here. And I have 2nd cousins and 3rd cousins and family friends and stuff, but we all never really really hung out.
It's always good to see old friends. Aside from visiting 2 of my cousins this week, I got to see some old friends yesterday, one of them being one of my great friends and mentors, Father Pat, from UCI interfaith. It is always so good to see him, and after we talk and catch up, he always makes things brighter for me, cuz he gets me to put my life into perspective, and I realize how happy and how blessed I am. I miss being able to talk to Father Pat on a regular basis. We used to go out to breakfast or have lunch together more often back then, but then of course, I lived in Irvine. As long as we can get together once in a while, it's good enough for me.
You know how it's so hard to get a house in California because of the ridiculous housing prices? We should all move out to some boondock community and start our own city. We could be self-sufficient, just find someone from every trade and have all of our necessary jobs covered. It would be dope!
...last weekend of long runs. I missed my 6 earlier this week, so i'ma do it tonight, and then my 8 tomorrow...and then, it's the big countdown to the marathon! KRIKEY!
