You know, I never thought I would find being a parent so rewarding. There are some days where I think that, "God, why the fuck do I exist if shit like this happens to me?" Then I hang with Brandon for a bit and I realize that it's okay. Everything is okay. As long as he is okay. Things are fine. Is that strange?
Lee and I had a free day today. So, we thought we would go to the Stars and Strollers movie, but the only choice was "Freedom Writers". Hmmm...okay, I suppose. But not my first choice. There are plenty of films I would like to see before that one. Such as, "Dreamgirls" or "The Pursuit of Happyness" Two films, mind you, that were previously on the Stars and Strollers screens. Why the hell didn't they keep them there? Fuck! The one time I am able to the Stars and Strollers thing and they change it to crap. Well, fuck that! Besides, the previous two films got Oscar Nominations and Lee and I have not been able to see any of the nominated films. That would've been a great opportunity for us. But no! They have to change it to Hilary Swank's new movie. Fuck it!
So instead, we bought some pizza and heated up some chicken fingers and rented something from Video on Demand. We got to "Little Miss Sunshine". That was a great film. Was Alan Arkin deserving of the Oscar? Hmmm....not sure. The little girlwas great too. But the film is just too independent and too good that the Foreign Press will just overlook them and give the award to the flavour of the moment. Oh well, good for Jennifer Hudson, I guess. And all of her 15 minutes.
Tonight we are taking Brandon out for his first restaurant meal. I hope that goes well. Oddly enough, I am looking forward to it.
Also, get well soon T. I hope you are feeling better today. Take care.

Oooh, the first restaurant meal! I hope that went well. And I'm glad to see the rest of your day was so pleasant. That makes me happy!
I'm feeling a little bit better today; thanks for asking. I have a bit of my voice back, though it's still really rough. Still worked from home today. Home tomorrow too. Hopefully I'll be in good enough shape to return to the office in person on Thursday.
Talk to you later!

I wish I had a day off. Got one day off last week but was sick. Today off early sick again. I want to back to days when life was simple. Hey do you think you all could help me set up my own menagerie so while I am in europe You all could keep tabs on me. It would really save in postage and phone calls.
That's pretty funny because a couple of weeks ago "The Hour" had on the teacher who's story Freedom Writers is based on, and the interview was so great that I REALLY want to see the movie. And you had the chance to see it and gave it a miss. Darn it!
I want to see "Little Miss Sunshine" too, but who knows if I will ever get to see that either. Sigh.
