aka - what a difference a day makes
my brother shot and killed his daughter's boyfriend. they have two kids. it was self-defense, and he wasn't even arrested, although they took him into custody for a night to question him before releasing him. i think the entire family is in shock. i wasn't a huge fan of the boyfriend, but they do have two kids together, and this is just a tragedy. the guy held a shotgun to my brother's head, while he was in the car with the kids in the backseat, and my brother pulled a pistol and shot him. he thought the safety was on, just wanted to scare him, but it wasn't. there are rumors that he was beating his my niece, but who knows. i just want them to move out of the area before the eye for an eye mentality takes hold. anyway, i had one day of peace and then this hits. fuck.
m had a field day today, and dismissed at noon. originally, my mom was going to pick her up but then all this happened and plans fell through. luckily i have a flexible schedule, so i picked her up and ran into her friend's dad on the way out, and they invited us over. we spent a few hours over there and it turned out the guy was a collectibles nerd who used to run a d&d/card/comic store in midtown. so we had plenty to talk about. we came home and i made her a snocone on the snoopy snocone machine. and now we're just hanging out.
the facebook thing was a serious release for me, although (this is stupid) i wonder if i'll be able to write music afterwards.
also, RIP macho man randy savage, my favorite wrestler of all time, all time meaning my youth, when i watched wrestling. it really saddened me to hear of his passing, fuck.
