Down On Ferry Farm

I have talked about a lot of women in my life, but I rarely talk about my mother. My mother and I have always had an interesting relationship. I am the youngest of 4 children. My brother, the oldest, two sisters and me. Some days I’m not sure she knew what to do with me. Long time readers will note that I recently went on vacation with my parents and one of my mother’s sisters. I got the feeling when we were planning this thing that my mother never expected me to go. None of my siblings went but I wanted a vacation. I think I was asked in the casual, backhanded way that people do. Such as: * How are you? * Need anything before I go? * Do you want to eat this before I throw it out? * Were you interested in going to the family reunion? That kind of thing. I don’t think my mother was expecting a “yes” from me. My dad was in the Military and therefore away quite a bit when I was younger. I don’t feel like I knew my dad until I was in my teens. When my brother and sisters moved out, I live

...to this blog. I have been writing this thing for a year now. A year. Let's recap what has happened in the past year: It all started with A-girl. There were certain forces inside of the company I was working for who were pushing me towards her. She is a "pretty girl" who came back to that company on my last day there. Ultimately it didn't work out because I reminded her of her brother. Ew. Then it was about L-girl. She and I worked pretty closely together. We had lunch just this past week. Ultimately it won't work out because I'm AfricanaAmericanmerican descent. DubDub came next -- or really first. I don't know. I could fill a whole blog with nothing but stories about her. Next, I think I was trying to signal a change... or a maybe the need for a change. Then I got into seeing a lot of movies. Throughout the first year of this blog you'll see a few movie reviews. I turned a year older. I noticed (looking back through them) that a lot of my entries de

Remind me that on July 16th this blog will be 1 year old. Okay? Every year my family goes to a baseball game of the local AAA Baseball affiliate right around the 4th of July. Right after the game they have a big fireworks display. We've done it the past several years and it's a neat little tradition we have. It was on the 3rd this year. At the baseball game, my niece (I'll just call her my niece for ease of explanation) brought her newly-delivered twins. They are twin girls that weigh 3 and 4 pounds respectively. Yes, they're small (preemies) but they are SOOO cute! Everyone should have the ability to hold a baby and see a real live naked woman whenever they want. Man-law! On the actual 4th, I was over at my brother's house watching him light off fireworks just past his back yard. Driving home from his house I thought about the blatant disregard for the law that people have on the 4th of July -- you see, in the commonwealth of Virginia fireworks are illegal. I hate
