Weekends fricking ROCK!

Ever since I've had my bout with cancer, I have tried to make the most of my life. Oftentimes, this means taking advantage of the time I have to see people I don't spend enough time with.

Friday night, we visited my brother and his family. Things were sorta kooky from the get-go, so we didn't even arrive til after 9pm. With my sister-in-law being pregnant, I knew this meant we wouldn't be spending a lot of time visiting. Like with most of my family and friends, I don't feel like I ever spend enough time with my brother, so it is always a special treat for me.

When I got home, I was listening to WDET, and one song in particular caught my
ear. Well, it was more like it yanked me off my chair! After a few more songs, I found out that the song came from a Small Faces album, called "First Step". "Great googley-moogley!" I said to myself, "I have that on vinyl and never listen to it!!" So, at 2:30am, I pulled out the record and dropped it on the turntable... cranking it... with the windows and doors wide open...

So Saturday, we went to a block party in Westland then took off across town to a party at my cousin's casa on the East side.

The drive that shoulda taken 40 or so minutes, took us over an hour. I'd like to say right here and now that DETROIT ROADS SUCK ASS! With I-96 closed down to a single lane for construction, all it takes is one id-jit to cause and accident and shut the whole road down. And they did.

Well, we eventually arrived at my cousin's, and had a great time. I had quite a wonderful opportunity to bond with my already close cousins, and was blessed with the observation that I have achieved the biggest goal in my life - to make a positive impact on the world around me.

This came through my cousin, who explained how some things I've done with him, or just simply told him about helped him become the man he is. And he's a real stand up guy.

I love it when that happens!

Seeing as that today is Sunday, my time was wasted job hunting - shall I go off on that topic again?? Anyhow, I also needed to develop my Cancerboy marketing plan for this week, but just never really got around to it. I think it's already worked itself out by proxy anyway. After a week of feeling burnt out, I'm looking forward to hitting the ground running tomorrow!
