HOliday Reflections

My Mama was all pissed off today because I slept through the family dinner even though everyone took turns hollering at me to get up. This evening me and Kiah had some fun with the camera.

I came across this picture again. I posted it a long time ago when I found it on my computer at home. [inlink]robin,105[/inlink]

I went and asked my Dad who they were and he told me the craziest story. The couple in the picture were my Granny's grandparents so I was right in guessing that they were my Great Great grandparents. Here is their story.

The woman in the picture was married twice. The man in the picture is her second husband, both of her husbands were drafted by the confederacy and fought in the civil war. Her first husband was injured in the war so she left North Carolina to go to Richmond and nurse him. She left her two children in the care of a neighboring family.
She got to Richmond and her first husband eventually died there. When she got back to North Carolina and went for her children she found that they had died of starvation and abuse at the hands of the family who she thought would care for them.
Then she met the man in the picture and married him. When her second husband found out what happened to her children he went to the small mill (where the child killers lived) and he murdered them. Then my great great grandparents moved in there and took over.
I don't know if I wrote that coherently but I tried to tell it like my Daddy just told me.

in the box

Deliverance is a sick movie. I liked it. It was lawless, with the law ever present of course.

passing time

last night I sat up with Andy's housemates and watched half of the Lord of the Rings movies. I went to sleep at 7 and around 8 Skip

came running in waking us up while freaking out because his girlfriend kicked him out of her life. Skip had a drunken wreck and drove 10 miles to Andy's with one tire missing. He woke us up yelling about

beautiful kids look at you you're sleeping, ah God.
sleeping
wrecked my fucking car,
Kelly kicked me out,
awww
Go back to sleep
my life sucks right now
look at me

and he went on like that till Andy woke up. Good Lord.
Andy drove Skip all over then he had to go work at the packaging store.
I'm getting up the energy to drive back to Adairsville.
Kiah drains my energy. i think it's because when you're a child time seems to go by so slowly and you have excess energy but as you grow older time speeds up and your energy is zapped.

hahahahaha

It's fairly warm and sunny down here. It's getting down into the teens some nights. The sunshine is blinding and there are still green growing things everywhere. It's like the world with the contrast turned up. I miss Soyeon. I'll be back in buffalo to freeze soon enough, i reckon.

bored

I'm waiting for pizza. There was a fight last night. Ian got beat up a little. He's a nice guy. This is the website for the skateboard company he has with his buddies.

I've been playing around with some video. Check out these stills.

the family guy

We are watching the family guy. I'm over analyzing the role of the housewife in this cartoon. She makes being a housewife seem like the worst thing in the world. She has three kids. That's a shit load I reckon. i wonder why so many people go that route in life? Today my mom told me that usually people who don't have kids, their parents probably never had kids either.
On the drive down here I tape recorded myself chanting the same word over and over in altering dialect. I have to start with the basics. A recording of going home to Adairsville to spend time with the family and eat their food and rage about their politics.
but then I come here to Atlanta and I'm outside of the accent land and put in another accent land,the land where people talk like me.
So there are a few people here at Andy's. I'm waiting for them to tire out so I can watch student work. I've got some grading to do but for different reasons than Paul. I've been the late one on this end. I hate doing it, putting a number or letter on the quality of another persons work.
ew, I just used the spell check function. It's really come a long way. wow.
oh God.
I have an RCA to Mini.
This isn't an act.
This isn't a routine.
How is it a routine.
Oh, I'm just being Robin and that is my bit my routine, says Andy.
He adds "I do a really good Andy"

baby's bath

I gave Kiah a bath a few hours ago. I felt like a Mommy. It was sweet, sitting there on the toilet lid while Kiah just splashed around in the tub washing barbie's hair. Her barbie had built in panties but no bra and no nipples.
If feels good to wash my baby's hair. She's a sweet girl even if she did wake me up at 5 in the morning after I drove for 14 hours the day before. There must be some kind of Mom instinct inside of me that makes me feel satisfaction from washing Kiah's brown curls. I wonder, do men have this same suppressed instinct?
