So much to write

Wow... A lot of stuff has happened in the last little bit here... so much to say.

The funeral was wonderful. Really tough, but it was a beautiful testament to my Grandma and the loving impact she had on her kids and grandkids. Lots of tears from everyone. Me and Josh and Chris sang Angel by Sarah Maclachlan, and there was letters and poems read. The Eulogy was good too.

It was good to have the whole family together. There wasn't a grandchild or great grandchild not there. After on thursday, my aunt Gloria had everyone over for real italian lasagne, deep fried turkey, and LOTS of beverages. Me and some cousins and my uncle Ron sat up until 6:30 am that morning, then we all just crashed on Ron's living room floor. It was much needed. The night after we had dinner at Aunt Penney's and again had the whole familiy together. Ended up a lot of the night recording the song in Chris' little bedroom studio. That was fun, and it was a good chance to escape the chaos for a while.

The internment was tough. It was a humbling and really sad moment for me seeing one of my role models, and the toughest man alive (Grandpa) being supported by his children when his knees buckled. He loved my Grandma so much, I wish I could do more to make him feel better. He was telling lots of stories, and telling us how proud Grandma would have been of us. He even commented on my shoes (black and white) and told me Grandma used to love those back in the 40s.

I can say though, I missed Erin like mad the whole time. I would have loved her there. It would have been great for her to meet the whole family, and hear all the stories about Granny. I guess it wouldn't have been the best time though, I mean, it will be better for her to meet them when we aren't all mourning. I still would have loved her there though.

Last night was great too... we went Karaoke. Usually when we go, we kinda make our presence known through vivid stage performances, funny songs, etc. This time was no different, with me singing stayin' alive in a tight falsetto the whole time, Erin and Christine singing Why Can't I, but to Sinead, Matt doing his trademark Welcome to the Jungle, and Erin picking random hard to sing song for Ryan. IT was great, we were the shit, until buddy gets up and completely destroys us with Black Dog. This guy could be a professional rocker. It was awesome. Second round was less funny, but still good, with Weezer's Buddy Holly, me doing Daddy Sang Bass (JC woulda been proud), and David and Sinead both got up too. It was good times.

Today the new stereo goes into the Valiant, which is awesome. I can't wait to have good tunes in my baby!

I guess that's it.
