Open Blog

Sorry, should have said something sooner. Traveling again to finally get some digs. Will be around barely for the next few days.

Happy weekend.

UPDATE [Gabe]: Rosetta brings the funny with this metaphor in the comments :

This blog is like Ace's kid. Early on when we were an infant, he was like a doting, ewok-shaped new daddy. Caring for our every need. Not letting anyone else babysit us. Staying up late with us. Giving us special attention and love.

Then after a few years, when we could walk and use the big-person toilet, he felt comfortable leaving us with other people - initially for very brief periods of time and then for longer stretches. Sometimes days at a time.

Then, when we started grade school, he hires this stupid live-in nanny, Gabriel. Oh look who it is....it's Gabriel Malor!! Oh!! SO SMART!! Oh!! Gabriel likes trying to boss everyone around but he can kiss it! YOU'RE NOT OUR REAL DAD!!!! WE HATE YOU!!!!

In a few years, when this blog is in high school and we start partying with our friends and getting arrested, Ace will wonder what he did wrong. Where he fucked up.

And then when we'll go away to college, probably someplace far away because of the ever-present Goddamn technical problems. Then he'll be here all alone. An empty nester.

Late one Saturday night, he'll be sitting in his chair, alone, drinking himself into a blind stuper, playing bad air-guitar to Motorhead. Then he'll start sobbing. Thinking how he should have been there more. How HE should have been the one that showed us the Olympia Events Calendar. How so many times he phoned it in....posting 3 year old shit.

It's sad really.
