Gone For Now. Not Forever, Technically.

I should be in bed, but my procrastination keeps me from it once again. At least I'm busting my butt to get this outline straight. Mom sent me pictures of some of the Arthurs for my speech on cancer prevention. I don't think about Bops' death very often, but every time I do, I reach the brink of tears or even a small cry session. Mainly, I'm smiling while I reminisce, thinking of the great times I had with him. But the tears come from the utter sadness associated with those times being over. Forever. At least, here on Earth if you want me to get technical. I wasn't very close to Grandma Mary, but i see it in my Dad's eyes that he really misses her. He doesn't cry. Ever. But the one time I saw him cry, made me cry seeing his mortal emotions. Seeing my hero and easily the favorite relative of my friends. I'm rambling now and getting too mushy, so I'll stop. Back to the outline! I hope Bops and Grandma Mary are partyin' it up in heaven right now! And maybe Aunt Jojo will stop by and play a few rounds of Bridge (because that's what old people do right?)

Been Thinking Alot Today.

Racism will never end.
It's sickening.
Stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason.
People often fight to protect or stand up for themselves.
Tearing the pages of a book out because of an ugly cover serves no justice.
If one race is satisfied, the other feels wronged.
And the vicious cycle continues.
Eternally.
