Today i was sitting in my class waiting for it to start, and while i was i was listing to a pod cast from the moth. For those of you who don't know what the moth is look it up i wont tell you themoth.org its awesome and you should check it out i love it. i was listing to this guy tell a story about his last family photo. It got me thinking about mine.
Not that long ago, I think it was my sisters idea, we took a family photo with my moms side and my dad side of the family. it was a big deal since we were all getting older and about to start our own families. Well at the time i believe i was in the third or almost the third year in a relationship to a girl who would later become my fiance, and at my mother request she was asked to be in the photo. Well fast forward a little and it didn't work out. I'm not getting into that its a whole other blog. So now there are two family photo with an extra person whom i don't like at all and its safe to say that my family doesn't either. What really bothers me about this is its the last family pictures i have with my grandfathers. It sucks ass. So i just put post-it notes over her face. I guess the message i have here is go to every family gathering you never know when they are going to take a group shot and in family photos make sure all the right people are in there so you wont have a house full of post-it notes.
Don't forget to check out themoth.org
This is really funny. It's kinda sad too but I can definitely relate. This would be great for a stand up act. The title of this bit could be "My endorsement of post-its".
