Whenever a person gets down on their luck, it shows.  Maybe not at that second, maybe not that moment, maybe not for a long while, but it will.  Luckily, mine shows up right afterward.  Most of the time anyway.  And after this time that they get down on their luck, they realize things that they should have realized a long time ago.  Maybe their ego would not let them realize half the things that they should have known before hand, but now they finally realize some things that help them through their way.

That's me.

My weekend, the Father's Day weekend of 2004, has been an uplifting weekend and an odd one to say the least.  Friday I spent the day with my friend Marie from Minnesota (that was only the start of it).  Yes, I spent the day, considering that I haven't seen her in about five years.  And she's changed a small bit, but I realized that I've always had something for this girl even back when she lived right next door to me.  I don't think I've ever wanted to admit it, but I'm guessing that I have.

Saturday I went to work as usual and did absolutely nothing.  Go figure, right?  After work I met my friend Maria (weird coinsidence with the names, I know) and we watched Saved.  If you get the chance, especially if you are a Christian, go watch it.  Most people think it's sacreligious, but it's not.  It actually shows how most hypocrites are in real life.  I felt irritated watching parts of it considering that it got the point across.  Over-the-top fakes are insane when actually in the real world.  They annoy other people and make me sick.  That was the point of the movie, to actually stop being fake in this world.  So go watch it!  Oh yes, and if you're reading Maria, remind me again why we saw a guy in dreadlocks working at the Atlanta Bread Company? I'm confused about the whole thing.

Sunday I went to church in the morning.  As usual there was a Father's Day message, which is always expected.  But I never thought about the fifth commandment as a message to adults as well.  It's somewhat odd when you put it in that perspective.  But that's why I like Brother Keith.

The same day I went to go take some vegetables to my uncle Al.  He's stuck there while I get a new cousin any day now.  I feel sorry for him.  All he does is watch TV and play golf and it irks me that he doesn't do anything else.  But I guess that's how it is.  He needed a right nice Father's Day just like any father.
