easter break and a little family drama

so, once again i am in houston for the long easter weekend. im so excited that sunday i will see family i havnt seen in a long time. i love watching the little kids do the easter egg hunt and such. it’s just nice to have family around. although i think there might be a little drama this year. see, my older cousin and his wife have been seperated since thanksgiving or so, basically right after their second child was born. he said there was no way they were getting back together, she wanted him to come home but he left her basically saying that she is “mean” and she wasnt going to change. ok so i agree, she isnt that nice of a person, but shes not horrible either. anyways, so my mom called my aunt to see who was all going to be at the easter celebration thingy and she went down the list and mentioned my cousins wife…so naturally my mom was like OH so are they getting back together? my aunt replied with a long unsure kind of YEEEEESSSSS answer….but then she added another word…BUT…yes they are trying to get together BUT…and then she says it. SOMEONE IS PREGNANT. what? who? not my cousins wife….but someone he slept with while they were on a break! yes while they were seperated he knocked up some other women he works with…i swear…MEN. if you are seperated and NOT DIVORCED yet keep it in your pants! and if you cant…wear a condom! so stupid…and the thing is the same thing happened to his older brother…he was seperated from his wife and had a one night stand and got her pregnant. you would think he would learn from his older brothers experience. like brother like brother i guess. luckily my cousins wife still wants to try and make it work, even though he’s going to have another baby with another woman. i got to give props to her…i dont like her that much but she obviously loves the man if she still wants to make it work. men though, gosh they are dumb…and it sucks because i love my older cousins to death, they are great guys, but sometimes its like they are just stupid. how could you sleep with another woman when you just seperated from your wife….even if it was after a divorce you think they would need a little time before they jump in the sack again. they need to think with the head on their sholders and not with the one in their pants for once. also i cant help to think how he is going to explain to his two sons this new baby scenario…well i guess only the older one since he is like 5 and the other one is only like 4 months. but how do you explain to a 5 year old, yes you are having another brother or sister but no its not coming from your mom. thats going to be awkward. its like i kinda want to be there to see what happens…but i know the chances of him telling them that in front of me is pretty slim lol. oh well. well thats all i had to say…me and my parents have been talking about it all night because we are so shocked by it all and how dumb my beloved cousin is so i thought i would write about it..and if any men happen to read this….dont be stupid…keep it in your pants! especially if you are married! that is all….

aftermath of the matchbox twenty phenomenon

so i dont know if i spelled phenomenon right in the title but screw it…

so i saw matchbox twenty last thursday and it was FREAKIN AWESOME! i was so close to the stage it was unbelievable…i was probably 30ft away or so from ROB THOMAS! it was sooooo coool! they played all of my favorite songs and they were such good performers. rob thomas just cracks me up the way he talks and acts on stage, its like hes one of your buddies or somthin. alanis morisette opened for them and this is one thing i noticed about her fan base….they are composed of many dikes. there were so many lesbians out and they all were there to see alanis lol…it was kinda funny.

The Darjeeling Limited

the other night i came across this movie my mom bought…i had heard of it before but it just didnt make it that big so i never saw it. Its called THE DARJEELING LIMITED…it has owen wilson, jason swartzmen and adrien brody in it. i dont feel like expaining what its about in my own words so im just going to copy IMDB words instead.

“Three American brothers who have not spolen to each other in a year set off on a train voyage across India with a plan to find themselves and bond with each other - to become brothers again like they used to be. Their “spiritual quest,” however, veers rapidly off-course (due to events involving over-the-counter pain killers, Indian cough syrup and pepper spray), and they eventually find themselves stranded alone in the middle of the desert with eleven suitcases, a printer, and a laminating machine. At this moment, a new, unplanned journey suddenly begins.”

so ya thats what its about…at first it is a little slow and you kinda get bored but then really funny shit happens, like brotherly fights with pepper spray. and then some sad stuff happens. its a fun yet sad and touching movie all at the same time. i highly recommend it…actaully i have it now so if you want to watch it let me know. im going to leave you with some of my favorie quotes…

Francis: [francis and peter are beating each other up] You don’t love me!
Peter: Yes i do!
Jack: i love you too, but i’m going to mace you in the face!
————-
Jack: What did he say?
Peter: He said the train is lost.
Jack: How can a train be lost? it’s on rails.
————-
[after they are kicked off the train and stranded]
Jack: wouldn’t it be great if we heard a train go by in the distance?
Peter: no.
Francis: it’d probably be annoying.
————-
Peter: Those germans are bothering me.
————-
Brendan: why are your eyes so red?
Francis: why is your head so bald?

so i realize these quotes probably arnt that funny since you havent seen the movie…so now you really have to see the movie so you wont be missing out….oh ya..bill murray also has a camio…so its definatly worth seeing!
