Buff: It's been a bout a month
I'm like Family Man extraordinaire, these days. Check this recent four-day string: Friday, I went up to Toronto to check my nigga Rek and peep his new baby girl and my lil niece, Nyeema (spelling not final yet), after which we came back to Buff and broke out the single malt scotch and tuned out to a pod-playlist named in his daughters honor, till about 7am. Saturday evening, I watched a chick-flick (Prime) with Moms. Sunday I played Scrabble and listened to oldies and neo-soul with my two Aunt Kims and Uncle Tip. Monday me, my lil bro Eezy and Pops watched about five hours of Star Wars movies (Pops had several gems...random musings like, "Man, Vince, what's that crazy white dude doin' that for?!). Tuesday me and my lil cuzzes hit LaNovas and got on the awkward subject of parents and intimacy and upbringing and all that.
It's been about five weeks back in Buff and it still feels like an extended vacation (which is how I'd like to keep it. The second I start feeling like this is home and not temporary is when I'll need a cold bucket of water smacked across my schnoz)...but dig, I go to bed a lot of times thanking God that, despite all the familial dysfunction and few severed relays here and there, my whole extended family is MAD close.
I know much of that has to do with the Bible. That may sound campy and corny to some of you reading this, but I'm 1,000% sure that if the bulk of your family tries to live up to Biblical principles (whether u think theyre outdated or not) you won't have a bunch pf problems.
In a typical family, I think this brief return would be unbearable. But even with my lil sis and Moms monopolizing the bathrooms and Pops consistently hittin me with ish like, "Aw, shut up white dude!" when watching a simple episode of SportsCenter...it's been a relatively peaceful and recuperative stay thus far. I'm hoping things don't change too drastically for the remainder.
