november first

i hate funerals. who doesnt? it sounds like a stupid thing to say doesnt it? well its not. when people die its not a happy thing. so WHY do atheists, catholocs, and liberal Christians alike take a day to dress up like dead people and celebrate?? it no longer makes any sense to me. but showings are always amazing. they let you learn what the dead person was concealing, or that only certain people knew. when my aunt berle died a lot of her really old friends showed up and started talking about her. apparently she had been a straight A student since kindergarten, she was prom queen, and she helped lead a protest, something to do with busses. and nobody close to her knew what an amazing life she lived until she died. ironic isnt it? another case, recently my dads old tenant Johnny died. his showin was the first time in a really long time that all his brothers were together. and OH there were stories! johnny and his brothers were perfect stereotypical italians. they spent their lives running from police, smuggling beer during prohibition, hosting illegal poker games, and gambling underground. seeing all those brothers was really wierd. they were partners in crime reunited by the death of one of their most beloved partners.
today is the first day of november. summer seems so far away now... and next summer is even farther away. i really miss summer already.
thats it.
