Title: My Luck or My Folly?
Lately, my days have been fraught with blessings.
Though granted, my privacy has been cut short due to constant guests of my roommate Raven, I have still been able to enjoy the nice spring weather, the latest films (I just saw Hellboy, not bad but I expected better), and even enjoy some music (my song of the week is "Romeo" By Basement Jaxx, from the album "Rooty"). I've been able to write some more, and the results are pleasing. I even had a pleasant dream a couple of nights ago. Then there's the fact that Raven's phone bill is about to be paid (thanks to me, which will cost as much as having a new phone connected in my name anyways, so what the hell...) so i'll finally have a local number! Not only that, my parents have good news. The family accountant just told them that I'm about to get a whopping $1200+ in my income tax return!
My parents suggest I put some into RRSP's. Sure, why not? Or better yet, I know a guy working for Investor's Group. He'll take care of my money even better. I'll put half into that, and the other half will be used to enjoy life for a change. Get some new clothes... maybe a part or two for the old computer... or furnature! Furnature! I need shelves! Raven's piles of anime tapes and CD's are taking over! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have six weeks to think about it.
I was thinking about the dream I had a couple of nights ago (BTW, I had one last night, barely remember it, but my dad was in it again). It made me realize that I deeply miss 'Saleem' (real name kept hidden to protect her privacy).
Maybe I should try to find some even ground between myself and my dad, be not so afraid of him, and even admit both when he's right and wrong (and be able to say it, instead of keeping silent). But you know what? He may be a bit aggressive while I insist on being gentle, but he has some valid points. And despite being loud and aggressive, he has done well in raising me. Funny thing is, i'm not his, i'm a son bred from when my mom was married to another guy. But hey... your father's the one who takes the time to raise you, not the one who f**ked your mom, right? I'll give my real dad his dues...
But 'Saleem'? I wish Raven would reconnect the phone faster (he's doing so today). I so desperately want to contact her! I haven't seen her since last July. I know she'll remember me, but I wonder if she'll be happy to see me, or if she'll even go out for a coffee? For that matter, why is it that i'm so excited about this? Why do I feel so elated about the prospect? I wish I knew...
Could someone offer some insight? I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks! Yes, you may well have seen her...her name is Josie, she is a nude model for plumpers mag, she is great!! I usually get around $250 for my commissioned pieces since Im still considered an unknown, I usually just ask the buyer to give me what they think its worth, and that is usually average.
