Intro

So this would be my first blog on this particular site. Should mean I'll be blogging only to myself for a while so.. perfecto.

Today I'm takin' my nephew to Game Spot to pick out his birthday present.. I wasn't ever able to get a clear answer on what he wanted from my brother so I'll let him pick out his own. There was a time not too far gone when I'd have pretty much ignored it but.. at some point it became obvious that I can't just live my life for me. I've been a pretty useless uncle for a long time.. I have a lot of relatives that I actually haven't kept tabs on in years and for all I know, they could be dead or in prison or somethin' equally unfortunate. When I was younger I had nephews and nieces that looked up to me and I felt that.. I dunno, that maybe it wasn't important enough to live up to that obligation. So now that I'm 26 years old, I finally decided to try and be a good uncle.. a good brother, and a good son.

It'd be easier if good was a naturally occurring event in my life.
