Besides all that, christmas was up and down. The day had came and I wanted to go to my mom's house. Yet, I didn't want to take the bus. I called my mom and knew my older brother ricky was there. *he's the only one in the family w/ a car* So I ask him for a ride. He declines despite the fact the drive is less than 10 minutes each way. *the bus takes over an hour* I'm angry and I call him back after a lil and chew him out. I tell him that he is a pathetic brother and how selfish he is and all sorts of stuff. He responds saying how glad he is to be selfish and enjoying his life and not listening to "your wacky philosophies". The wacky philosophies he speaks of is my belief that he should treat family better than friends. *as part of the argument from my part centered on the fact that he has treated them better than us* In the background, you could hear his girlfriend Salena trying to butt in but he told her to "Shut up". I thought it funny in a mean sense. Anyways, he hung up and went to her dad's house. He also took the $40 gift card he had supposely got me as a "gift". I had told him I didn't want anything to do with him anymore and I suppose that is why he took it.
I decided to go there on the bus. I get there and my mom asks what is going on. I ask what she is talking about and I guess he had called her to say that he has tried SO HARD with me but I'm just too much of a jerk. Then I"m scolded for not forgiving him.... She then takes his side on the whole ride issue.
After all that, we were given stuff. My mom got me a black pair of pants, a black shirt and a $50 gift card. Michelle was given a baby outfit and a $50 gift card. That is all we recieved from them. There was no gift from Vanessa, who does work; Alex, who later told me he has $300 +a gift card; Lorenzo, who doesn't work as it is but gets money doing "other" things.
Me and Michelle spent the night there for 2 nights. I hung out with my lil brother mostly and played Call of Duty on his computer. It was ok, except on the third day there, Michelle had got mad at me after I failed to respond to her request to pick up something up at the nearby store. She left and then I did after she called me from home.
Its so funny that my mom would say how much Ricky has changed and how he has such a nice girlfriend now. Perhaps you guys should see these pics I lifted from his myspace page. I would redirect you there but his profile is set to friends only.

That's the supposely "changed" brother my mom thinks so highly of. THis is a recent pic by the way. My mom constantly tells me not to think of him like he used to be. THough evidence to the contrary never sways her as her position biases her, especially because he looks like and acts so much like my dad....
Here's a pic of the nice girl he's with.
Besides all of that, I have pics of better times. THis is us on thanksgiving this year. We seen Beowolf that day. I'm not sure if I wrote about it or not.. click

Before I go, I want to say thanks to Salted, who added a christmas card to my collection. Its a good thing you added that your from dear diary as I wasn't sure who I knew from Missiouri. LOL. Also want to says thanks to honey who wants to send me some baby clothes. *I'll email my address after this entry* And again, thanks to kaliko. I guess this is it for the moment as Michelle wants the computer. I'll try to keep up more. Take care people.
