Florida

Andria demanded a new layout today. I really like doing layouts, but sometimes I just can't get into the mood. I want to design webpages for a living, but I'm wondering if HTML & CSS is becoming boring to me. It's getting to the point that I'm using HTML so much, building so many websites, gets boring.

School is getting tough for some reason. I'm stressed out over the little things even though I know most of the material. Even the material I don't know is interesting and fun.

Yes, I just admitted that 'Introduction to Internet Databases' is fun.

I spent most of last week and part of this week in Florida visiting family. It wasn't planned, but my uncle Ron passed away while at work. My mom was torn up, her only brother gone so shortly after her mother who passed away in December.

It was a mess down there, so much drama that got added to an event that was meant to honor a man who probably would have hated the whole affair. He didn't want a funeral, didn't really want a viewing, hated organized religion, hated the minister, and wanted to be cremated. So the best way to honor him is to have 2 viewings and ask the minister he hated to officiate in the church he'd have rather not attended. Oh, and a day after the funeral it was 'decided' that he didn't really want to be cremated.

In the end I didn't go to the funeral, deciding to just serve as moral support in the days before and after the event. I hate the whole idea of funerals. My mom kept saying that "Funerals are for the living" attempting to justify some of the things that were happening that a majority of the family disagreed with. I hate to think of funerals, mainly because it makes me think of my own mortality. I don't want to think of what would happen to me, who would mourn me.

I hate it when I think of who would come to my funeral and I realize how few people would care and how many fewer would bother to show up.

I also got to spend time with relatives I never get to see. I'm not as connected with my mother's family as I am with the immediate parts of my dad's. I can't really say I'm that connected with my dad's, only those that I am connected with, I'm pretty close. Some of the cousins I hung out with were literally babies when I last saw them.

Oh, and every male on my mom's side of the family is tall and my aunt's ceiling fan is hung about an inch too low for any of us. I took a blade in my forehead at least 3 times. I think I have a bruise from it.

I also ate at a lot of buffets. It was Florida, after all. Barnhills was ok, but everything was fried. The salad bar was short and I think they salted the pickles. Golden Corral was also ok. There was less fried things, but it was impossible to be in the building and not be sitting right next to the dessert bar.

Now I need to get back to all the homework that's due after Spring Break...
