This is making out to being an interesting Easter.
Woke up, sort of in a haze,
picked up my cousin from downtown and went to my Oma and Opa's.
Had a wonderful lunch, they are so German, and then went for a walk down to the Ocean.
North Vancouver is beautiful, and my Opa and I walked alone the shoreline talking for a long time.
I've had things happen around me that have really forced me to put things into perspective now,
that perspective pertaining specifically to the 'big' picture, so to speak,
and speaking to my Opa was reallllly enlightening.
After that on the drive home I got to talk to my cousin, which is cooll,
mainly because he lived with my family when I was younger for a year or so and he was definitely..
my hero. And now he's gone through a lot of shit and emerging a better person, and I really respect him for the place that he's in right now.
Afterwards I got to hear my parents argue for a while over really mundane thinggs,
I guess watching The Squid and the Whale sort of skews your perspective of that shit anyways,
and now I'm lying in bed, tired as hell, about to go for an Easter dinner at one of my best friends' houses.
I'm looking forward to that, minus any awkward family dynamic that may ensue.
I'll keep you posted, dear interweb.
