Can't sleep.
He'd be 70 today. Woah.
It ain't why I can't sleep though.
Can't seem to get out of my head.
Simple misfortune, it wasn't my fault said a friend.
That's good I suppose.
I have no regrets
Thoughtfulness before thoughtlessness.
Tattoo?
Stop being a martyr.
Really, I promise the world isn't against you.
Relish the short time we have here.
Hungry, its 2 fricking 30 in the morning.
I have to work tomorrow.
Can't sleep.
Burning your mouth is the quickest way to ruin your day.
12 stringed guitars are bomb.
Quit waiting.
Don't give yourself too many options, you'll never decide.
I need some Tylenol PM.
New Zealand.
I forgot to buy laundry detergent and sheets.
My puzzle is puzzling.
Drew a charcoal mountain-scape.
I am writing what comes to mind.
Till I am tired.
I have so much love.
Hot water doesn't taste as great as cold.
Suppose I could have wasted a tea bag.
"No glass of whiskey can tell me you'll miss me."
I didn't like Bukowski.
Takes me 5 years to change my mind on simple things.
I forgive easily.
I have a severe attachment to dad's silver ring.
I have never taken out my earrings on my left ear for 2 years now.
Met a narcoleptic today, rather saw him achieve sleep.
"Southern Trees Bear Strange Fruit" -Billie Holiday
Midterm on Wednesday.
I truly am the beast from the east right now.
I regret to inform you...
"40 years of things you say you wished you never said"
Needs a home grown adventure.
It's 3 AM.
This is whack.
Mind the gap!
My back aches.
I am going to watch Cool Hand Luke tomorrow.
I slipped today.
Oregon is one giant puddle.
My sexy boots will have to wait patiently.
"An evilness gives speed to these creatures, sets their will against us."
My hot water is now cold.
Really all we want is for everyone to love us.
Selfishly.
The real point is that Matt Damon plays a rugby player.
The world is flat, no round? Ruled by Canadians?
I am crazy.
I shall try sleep.
Thanks for reading, you poor thing.
Cheers.

What are the things you miss most about him? Think about him as much as you want, and share if you want. He is one funny guy!! I remember his crass comments and his deep laugh. And his thick white hair. Amazing how much we are like our parents. You are very loved, and he would love how much you miss him.
I miss his attitude!! Though I didn't have much time with him, he was definitely a unique person, no one else like him :).

We thought about your dad on his birthday too sweetheart, actually think about him nearly everyday in some small way. I had a tough nights sleep last night at Aunt Dee's on the air mattress in your old room, cold...brrrrrr, couldn't get the heat to come on, was running the fan for noise reduction and coolness when the "flashy thingies" hit...tossed and turned. Silly me, could have gotten those warm fleeces sooner I guess. :) Love your random word, thoughts, etc. Interesting almost like a poem. :) Love, Mom

I like your post Whit, you sound poetic without meaning to (or did you mean to ?). Anyway, thinking about you in Forest Grove right now. Sometimes home-grown adventures are small things. I LOVE YOUR LOTR QUOTE. Sorry had to yell at you :) I am in the middle of packing right now...well trying to pack... kind of...

Wish I could have watched Cool Hand Luke with you. I always miss you so much the days following your departure. Eventually I get used to it and then soon I am looking forward to spring break again. We have so much ahead of both of us. I am excited for you, are you excited for me? I do enjoy babbling. Anyway, leaving for school tomorrow at approx 4:00 p.m. I'll will call you and chat your ear off. hope you're not working!
Love Reme

I have so many random thoughts like that under exactly the same circumstances. My Dad would be 80 this year, isn't that weird my father was only 10 years older than your father! Your grandfather was only 10 years older than your father!! I had to say that again for my own clarification. I hated Cool Hand Luke, can't even remember why now. We all miss our Dads, even knowing and experiencing the brunt of his anger(mine) I still loved him..see it matters not our age we all have the same feelings! The blessing is that YOU never knew my father's anger..sometimes it's good to get old!You are very smart Whitney, and intuitive. I love you..aunt dee

I think we all make better grandparents, we hopefully have grown up and learned some lessons...:) nice responses from the family...it is good when a post engenders (is that the right use) so many interesting responses. Love you Whit. Mom

Dee said...

I think I am just as good a grandparent as I am a parent. I have definitely grown (out)hehe and learned lessons. I am ALWAYS willing to share my view on life. Sometimes to others frustration. I guess that is the great thing about getting older..people just put up with you. Love you Whit
