My family is know for it’s broken bones and sports injurys…Everyone has broken a bone in my family by the time there 12 and had sticthes at least once by 5. So anyways heres some of the better less gruesome pictures I could find around my house. It’s amazing that every single time someone gets injured in my family someone insists on taking a picture of it. Anyways, here they are:
We have a lot more of them but some of them get pretty greusome and I don’t really want to put them up on her. Anyways, one of the other things that my family is know for is car accidents…once a year at least…and again we’re picture people for some reason…
I couldn’t find too many of the car accident pictures because most of them got taken to the insurance company right after the accident happened and we didn’t keep many of them for keepsakes or anything. One of the other things we’re known for is having lots of soilders in our family. Even my dad was a lifer in the Army. Its just a family tradition of some sorts.
Anyways, there’s a lot more pictures I have and a lot more that reprecent what my family is known for but I have a lot I have to do, so I’ll post more of them some other time.
So what have I been doing…
Studying….Working…
Anything, except blogging.
Anyways, to update, I broke my foot last Monday so now I’m stuck at home until it heals…Which if you read some of my previous entrys you will know that this is not the place I want to be. I would much rather be in class. But NO when Ms. Fruits the financal aid women found out why I was absent from my afternoon classes on Monday was because I was stuck at the emergency room until well into the night. She decided it would be much easier for me to take a leave of absence then to have to continue to go to classes for the 6 weeks that the cast is gonna be on.
It’s only been a week and my family is already driving me insane. It’s mostly because there is absoluty nothing to do at my house. For the past week all I’ve been doing is trying to keep up with my school work, writting mid-term paper for my anatomy and physicology class, watching entirly too many movies and old reruns on tv, and surfing the net (except this is the first time I’ve gotten around to blog, because for a couple of days our wireless internet was out so all I could really do on my computer was play massive computer games). Even my little brother is getting sick of me because as he says you can only play so many board games before it gets really boring.
In the last week I have also spent way to much time on the phone, because every chance I get I call up one of my friends either from school or from job corps just to talk to someone that isn’t in my own family. I’ve even video chatted with a few of them so that I could at least see a few people that aren’t in my family.
I spent a few hours at the store with my mom a couple of days ago. I can’t really use cruches because of my messed up knee from an old basketball injury in high school so I’ve taken to riding around in one of my little brothers wheelchairs. It’s a little bit easier to get around in the with crutches. So what ever works.
Anyways, that’s the update for now. I’ll try to update more often while I’m on leave.
Ok, so it tends to get on my nerves how much I hate when people talk me into changing my mind on something that I think is in my best intrest to do. But it’s even more irritating when it’s a member of my own family or even worse if it is my mother. She has a lot of power over me and I really don’t know why. I’m adopted so it can’t be that she gave birth to me. I personal have come to think it’s because in my whole life I watched my older brothers and sisters mess up their own lives by being stupid or otherwise making stupid mistakes. She tryed to talk me out of going to job corps and just getting my GED another way and believe me I tryed but sometimes you just have to have a lot more stucture then Vo-Tech and believe me I do. I’m trying to successed in college but the fact that she doesn’t treat me as an adult who can make her own decisions reguardless of how much she happens to like them doesn’t help me one bit. I have always held my family to a higher standard then other people because of the fact that they are my family. But it seems like everytime I do this they only seem to make me regret doing it. Like me and my older brother Donald were really close when we were growing up because were only 3 years apart and were in a lot of the same schools and sometimes even had the same friends. But when I was in 7th grade and he went onto the high school we grew apart alot because he started in on drugs and gangs. After he did he last stint in prison I thought that maybe he really had changed like he said he had, but when I had only been out of job corps for about a month he decided to threaten to kill one of my friends that I was helping get back on his feet after being homeless for a while. He ended up being almost ready to be let out on time served when he decided to escape for the county jail. I never thought he would do something that stupid but he did. I just wish he could go back to the way he was before the drugs. He finally go off of them but now he uses sex and alchol as his new drugs. My family has always been a little bit dysfunctional but it seems like the older I get the more I come to realize that it’s a lot worse off then I ever could have known. Maybe it’s because I’m trusted with more of the dirty little family secrets now or maybe it’s because I have learned that my family is no better then any other poverty stricken family. I don’t think we have ever even seen the poverty line. My parents actually lied to all of the schools we went to and told them we moved so much because of my dad’s job but I know that it was because they would take out loans to pay the bills then they couldn’t afford to pay them back so in order to get the bill collectors to leave us alone they would move to another city and sometimes it would get so bad that we would leave the state and in most cases we would never set foot back into that state, except that is Oklahoma. We we’re gone for 11 years then my parents decided to move back during the summer between my junior and senior year of high school. I tryed to make new friends at school here but it just didn’t work because everyone knew I was just about gone plus then i found out I might have to repeat my senior yr because of us moving so much so a couple of months in i dropped out. Then it took me a couple of months to turn 18. After I turned 18 I had a lot of odd jobs then I came to the conculsion I needed to get my life back on track and I tried to go to GED classes at Vo-Tech but it didn’t work so I made the decision to go off to job corps and make it so that it was like high school but more structure. My parents didn’t know about this decision until april 14th and i left on May 1st. That is how i used to make decisions but this time I made a mistake and told my mom before I was ready to act on my desicon. I now know better and this is also why I have been putting in applications to transfer to a bigger university in some other town away from my parents. i mean come on I’m 20 years old they can’t do anything because leagally I’m an adult weather I still live with them or not. Anyways, that’s the update for now.
I never thought I would say this but I’m afraid seriously afraid. And what I’m afraid of is leaving home. But the truth is that’s the one thing I need to face my fears and do. Get out of the mad house called my house away from my majorly disfunctional family and do some major soul searching. Figure out what I really need to do in life and what my purpose is. My 20th is fast aproaching and I’m sick of having to just deal with it all, my birthday is actually what got me to thinking this way and what got me to make the desison of moving in with some of my friends in OKC at the end of the semester. To decide what I need to do with my life without my familys input for once.
