Thanksgiving so close....
« on: Nov 21, 2005, 11:51:21 AM »
My life, such as it is, has been plagued recently with misfortunes. This is not a complaint; I thoroughly accept that good stuff happens, bad stuff happens, get over it.  Yet though I look forward to Thanksgiving, I find myself....lacking the meaning of it, I guess, because of recent happenings.
My family....Family is awfully subjective. Do you define family through blood? Through emotion? Through law? As of late, i've found myself questioning the word "family" to have anything to do with blood or law. Do I consider my older brother to be "family" because he's my brother? Yes, even though my feelings for him are not very pleasant. I may consider my brothers. my father, my mother as family....but the outside relatives are dwindling as to who I call family.
My grandfather I consider family because he is a good man, even though his current state has degraded him to a passing shadow of what he was, and I pray for a swift and peaceful passing for him. Grandmother Harding I loved dearly, and she passed away some time ago. Grandmother Park....I can't consider her family. Her true nature has revealed itself to be less than kind, and so materialistic as to put aside the pain and suffering and family for her own concerns. It has come to pass that she considers My little brother and I.....the lesser grandsons, in favor of my older brother. This has little bearing on my feelings for her, yet I can't really understand her reasoning for such a belief, that my older brother is better than myself because he is older.
I have One aunt on each side that is tolerable and hasn't alienated themselves, yet....
Aunt Nene...is much like Grandmother Park, though not as intolerable. She cares, but is materialistic as well and that bothers me. Aunt Dana is much the same, very materialstic and a little bigoted, but she has kindness and caring within her.
Do I consider these two as family? Aunt Dana yes, but Aunt Nene I know so little and have met so infrequently I can't really, truly, consider her family.
Then there is a person I know, who is coming back from navy Bootcamp probably this very day. This guy is a kind and caring individual, who helped my family tremendously when my father underwent heart surgery, and his kindness has impressed me. I dare consider him an unofficial brother, for he certainly enjoys the company of my family moreso than his own,and his demeanor is akin to mine in terms of caring moreso about people than material. I consider him family, despite he has no relation to us.
So what is the definition of Family? Am I Right that it lies not in blood but in the person? Am I wrong? What purpose do these thoughts have? Questions...Questions....

I don't want it to be easy, I want it to be right.

Awww :(
I'm going to spend Thanksgiving with my uncle AND my aunt, which is weird cause they are both separated, so I don't know if I'm going to be like the middle ground or what!
On the good side, I don't have classes for the WHOLE week, starting today! :-D:-D

That's funny that you mention a case of lesser grandchildren.  My father's side of the family views me as a first class grandchild and my sister as a lesser one.  It's not really intentional (I don't think) but they just seem more interested in me than her.  I think this is possibly because my father passed away and I resemble him so much in appearance.

I'm not interested in doing much of anything with any family for Thanksgiving.  Despite their large number, I'm not close to any of them save for my immediate family.  Holidays always depress me for a variety of reasons.  I can't wait until these people are back in school and work.  That'll cheer me up.  Come on January.

Thanksgiving is what you make of it.  You can look at the glass as half-empty or half-full, but you might as well look on the bright side of things.

I'm thankful I didn't die in the oppressive heat of a thermonuclear explosion this year.  Among many other things.  And family?  I can leave when they get annoying, which is to say 15 minutes after eating lunch, so the blood pressure stays in equilibrium.
Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

I get to have an awkward turkey day thanks to parents being separated and my grandma's newfound (ha ha) dislike of myself for wanting to stay with my mom rather than go live with my dad, but on the other hand, I get to dazzle everyone with a really kick ass pumpkin cheesecake.

E, would you like some pumpkin cheesecake?

My year's been pretty sucky.... I still have no idea what I want to do with my life besides finding some job I don't hate.
I like to go down to the playground and watch the kids run and jump and scream, because they don't know I'm only using blanks.

Modern anime is a stagnant cesspool of regurgitated ideas.

My brother & partner went out of town, my sister  & family went to Fundieland (elder nephew's) where we can never tread and Eddie's brother called TG morning & said they were going somewhere to welcome his wife's brother/cousin/something back from prison and do whatever with Mom, which depressed her so much she refused to go anywhere.  We said fuck 'em all (except my brother) and went out for cedar plank grilled salmon.  :P  
Tortures end me,
