Death and Dying

I remember when I was in college, all of my premed friends were taking the class "Death and Dying," and I just thought it sounded dreadful and like the most unpleasant class in the world. However, maybe I could have benefited from a class that teaches you more about loss and the aftermath of losing a loved one.

My sister passed away about 6 months ago, and I am still hurting from that. Now my grandmother is in the hospital with lung cancer, and the outlook isn't great. Maybe I was spoiled with barely experiencing deaths of anyone I knew for too long, but now I am losing two family members within half a year. It's amazing the pain that loss of loved ones leaves behind. I fear that my family will never be the same and will struggle to remain strong through these times, but I hope we can keep it together, cause we have enough dysfunction without the tragedies. In fact, the bigger tragedy might just be the pain left behind.

Lo and behold, I am trying to remain optimistic and hopeful, but sometimes, when it rains, it really f!@#ing pours. Please keep my family in your prayers, if you read this (and if you pray).

The Sexual Innuendo

You know what I love? When people constantly spew out statements that can be taken in naughty ways.

I went out to dinner with two of my best friends tonight, and I could not stop giggling due to one of my friends repeatedly saying things that could be taken the wrong way. Such as, "Yeah, it hit the spot," in an unintentionally seductive manner. Or, "That salad looks super moist," with the reply, "Yeah, I like it moist." Or, "Let me help you with that..." also in a seductive voice, and helping someone jiggle a takeaway cup in a very awkward push and pull movement. Last, but not least, from the server: "Sorry, I couldn't put the [sour] cream all on one bill, so I had to put it all on yours," with the reply, "It's ok, I'll give more for the tip."

I don't know... somehow the 3 of us were able to take these statements all in the naughtiest way possible. Perverts, or just too many sexual innuendos that we have no choice to think naughty?

Completely random thought: I was challenging my brother on why there is a KFC buffet in Indiana, because unlimited fried chicken sounds like a bad idea. He explained there were other things there, like mac and cheese and COLESLAW, and it was somehow hilarious, because I have never heard someone sound so angry while saying the word COLESLAW. My brother tends to put emphasis on weird words... Therefore, the quote of the day arose, "You know what pisses me off?!?! COLESLAW!!!"
