I wish I was at work today instead of sitting at home. At least at work I get paid to do nothing.
Wanted to go my friend Chris' BBQ, but I have no way to get there. I'm not in the happiest of moods today anyways. Fourth of July Weekend is always depressing for me, this Sunday the 6th will mark six years since my real Dad passed away. For the last 3 or 4 years I've grown accustomed to drowning it out with weekend-long drinking/drug benders, but decided not to do that this year since it's a fairly unhealthy coping mechanism, and I'd like to think that I'm mature enough to handle something as natural as death in a sane and non-destructive manner.

you're still here though, and you make me smile.
happy 4th o' july kiddo...
Perhaps you are never really over that but as you say death is a natural part of our existence and we should learn to cope a bit better.
Good luck...
