So my dad came up for dinner today, and for the most part it was good. He took me out to dinner, and then did "manly" things that i have been putting off doing in the apartment. I guess that is his way of trying to acknowledge the stuff in my life? I dont know. I got to hear all about his girlfriend and their sex life, and trust me its shit you just dont want to hear about from your dad. Im happy that he is finally happy with himself and found someone that makes him happy, but i just really dont want to hear about the sex club they went to.
Life is funny sometimes, my mother is trying to convince me to move back to the detroit area for grad school, and my dad thinks i should go away? I dont even know what i want. I left detroit to kinda start over, and well things here have not turned out how i imagined they would, but i have made it thru everything. I dont know why, but it seems to me, that if i move back home, then i am somehow admitting failure? but then i think thats just lame, cause lots of people move somewhere to go to school and then go back where they were raised. Maybe its just that im older and feel like after 5 years kalamazoo should be home to me, but its not. Even after 5 years i still refer to detroit as home.
I dont know, i think the holidays for some reason bring out the look forward and back mentality in me. Yesterday i was thinking back to last years thanksgiving, and i would have never imagined last year looking forward that i would be alone. Where will i be next year? I guess here since i will be on my last semester of my bachelors degree. But where will "I" be? there has been so much change over the last 9 months, i cant even imagine what next year will bring.
oh well im rambling.

and it's called black friday 'cuz the day after thanksgiving is the official kickoff to the holiday shopping madness and one of the busiest days of the year for us retail whores.
also, financially, it puts you out of the 'red' and into the 'black', in the retail biz.
and of course, we played ac dc 'back in black' all day!
