Cheap Rant

I’ve spent entire summers of my life drinking beers and ranting about my friends who end up getting married. I liked to snarl a bit and comment (often between drinks of a mexican brand of beer) “Marriages are for suckers and old people” and then smirk at my old man. (These rants are ostensibly at family gatherings).

Then, of course, we argue back and forth like we do and it ends up where most of those at the gathering end up mocking me for something stupid that I’ve done and in this way our family continues to function.

Also, I’m rarely invited to weddings anymore.

Anyway, its in this vein that a family member (whose identity I might not be able to publicly expose) revealed that they are getting married. And instead of producing snarls, I made a girlish sound and went for a hug instead of a cutting remark.

It was even surprising to me, I’m definitely not opposed to making an ass of myself in front of family members, but to be un-opposed to a marriage? That’s just odd.

I’d say that I’m maturing, but in response to some of my actions on Friday night, I would consider that a longshot.

Anyway, I just thought I’d write this out because today is a nice day and I’m inside. Also, congrats to those anonymous kids who are getting married, one of which is related to me. (yeah yeah, we’re a long way from Arlington now, blah blah)

But seriously, please don’t have kids. I can’t bear to think what that would turn mom into.

Oops, gave it away.
