My relatives are here.. June 22, 2011

My relatives are here ,,, ok, having a nice big home is nice and having my boys home for the Summer 2011is cool., but it does get expensive.,,three meals a day , plus snacks and sodas ,, plus the movies and mall visits on the weekends.. But hey they deserve a break, school for the most part is a boring tedious exercise during the school year , atleast that's what I recall from those days..
  But now we have girls in the house,, its different , its cool, but having girls around makes the house ,, more womanly , so to speak , the smells from perfumes and sprays and all that good smelly stuff they wear gives it a different take , than the smelly feet , soaks all over the place boys I have. But one thing remains the same.. Dirty dishes , and trash seems to be my job,, I mean,, Atleast when the freaking trash can is full , common sense tells me, take it out. But not this generation of kids,, it means pushing the trash down, forcing more into the bag.. or worse , just leave it by the can. How many times I have yelled and screamed at my boys to not do this.. But guess what?!? yup,, they mean well , but they are too consumed about whats on TV , or playing their videos games into 3 0r 4 in the morning , when i get up and go,, I still see them gaming away,, Its too bad they dont show the same desire in their school work.. haha.. But back to the Summer break, Its hot , my relatives are sending a few days , and its nice , My wifey is cooking good food and we had the usual Pizzas and Popeyes chicken , but theirs nothing like home made food, fresh food made at home.. We had Tenola , a filipino dish thats tasty with green veggie leaves,, its hard to describe , but believe me its great stuff, Back in Bremerton with my Mexican Boxing friends,, they loved it ,, plus the barbecue wings soaked over night , with beer of course and some good pay per view fights,, man, those were the days,, I know when my boys get older perhaps we can share a beer or two and watch fights together. But for now they are in that teenage , pre teen years where they feel like they are smarter or wiser than they really are. Don't we all think that way whether or not we are a teenager or a middle age man or woman,, Its called EGO .. we all have it and at times , we flaunt it and like anything else ,, some people take it the wrong way or you rub the people the wrong way especially when you are a teenager.. I had many run in-s -- fights over this issue of looking at people or saying something inappropriate that offends,, And of course , guys never back down or apologize, its not our character , we are taught to be aggressive , fearless , mouthy,, apologizing is not one of our strengths growing up and to be honest I still have trouble doing it. Call it the Boxing days , or the many bonding days and nights with ego driven guys that have shaped my make up or personality.But one thing is certain,, Summer times are great times with family and friends,, and sharing summers are often the greatest memories we have as youths and young adults.. But as you get older ,, Summer times merely means hot summer days , cool nights,, and spending tons of money on recreational activities like movies , shopping , games,, or just having fun.. I'm enjoying seeing my young relatives at my humble home. I mean that's reason I bought a big home , to have a place for my kids to hang out , chill and relax... but the greatest thing is seeing family members happy and giggling.. Enjoy it guys and girls.. because some day , its gonna be your turn to treat and spend for your kids , and the yelling I did to teach you things will come back to haunt you as you try to instruct your kids on throwing out trash, washing dishes or mowing the lawn. But for another Summer year, I see happiness and togetherness , whether its skate boarding , biking or roasting marshmallows in the back yard , with my Tiki torches , and my water fountain splashing,, My relatives are here and I'm thanksful to be able to share my home wit them.. Until the Next blog,, Take care of family and friends.. THE SOURCE PRODUCTIONS @ 2011
