The Situational
I'm going to Fort Worth this week, but I think I'm going to avoid my family somehow. Maybe I'll just stay in town for the day and come back Saturday night. I'm really anti-family this Summer. Take this for instance: I got a call from a god-parent of mine who lives in Austin, who wanted to give me a printer they didn't need anymore. I thought, hey it's a free printer and I don't have one and why not?
After thinking about it for a day I decided to not go and pick it up because a)they live out in the suburbs and I'm not driving out there on the weekdays and I'm not potentially giving up an entire Saturday or Sunday, becasue I know that's what it will turn into, b) they have, like ten gazillion kids that fuse to me everytime I see them and I'm allergic to children, and c) [the big one] I'm not out to that branch of the family, which is composed entirely of black southern baptists.
Whatsmore, the last time I talked to them back in January or February they brought up the "G"-word [that's for "girlfriend", I doubt they'd be so direct about the other G-word] which almost made me laugh, but then I remembered that they still thought I was pitching for the same team.
All that being said, I've gone almost three years without a printer at home, I think I'm good.
Back to this weekend. I'm a guest videographer at Amanda's brother's wedding on Saturday. I'm always happy to help man a camera, but this time the camera's going to be in my hometown which happens to be where a lot of my family is, so I'm not jumping for joy at the very notion. The idea of getting a room somewhere is a little strange because well, I'm not used to paying for a bed in Fort Worth, in fact, I don't think I ever have.
I could check out the one gay club I know of in downtown Fort Worth, or I could foray out into Dallas-town and see what the digs are there. At least I know of more than one in that city. Who knows? That may be just what I do. I'll photoblog it even.
As an aside to this entry, I should thank my lucky stars I have a job where I can do shit like this all day and stay employed. I should hire a monkey to slap me in the face everytime I complain about this job...
