This American Life Submissions

I have been procrastinating on this, in part because Cameron is all about promoting the 20th aniversary of Say Anything a fuck load these days...and partially because I might be sort of a pussy in the full on coming to terms that we are blowing this shit up. Now....

So hey
I am sitting here again
Without paper or
Pen
Computer technology releases me
From the intricacy of
of creativity
I'm not knocking all you computer babes
And I'm not knocking your ignorance

Some days
I want to inexplicably
yell at everyone
(in particular those named mommy)
just like my kids
who need no reason to do so
and are not even locked up as crazy
(when they do)
know why?
it's okay for your own kids to abuse you
Some
days
I want to not give a shit
If you know what I think of you

What began as a simply perfect vacation has become the sad ending of life for my amazing grand family matriarchal grandmother. She is dying and I suppose it is fortunate that it has come now while I am here rather than thousands of miles away. But my heart is breaking and I am having a terrible time saying good bye. The kids and I are...
