Hey everyone, I'm just letting the people who dont know that I'm visiting my reletives in Louisiana. Unfortunately im not going to be on the computer all that much. It's going to be mildly annoying till i go home.

My uncle is one who thinks that if its not "gwar I is MAN" then it's not something i should do. So role-play of any sort, painting miniatures, a good chunk of books, and being on the computer are all not good enough. It's going to be /fun/! Here's another good part: He has decided that the democratic party, no matter what it does, is always wrong and going to destroy the world and the Republican party is god's hand in this world. *Rolls eyes*, I asked him last night for every negative thing he says about the democratic party that he say something that they ahve done right. His responce was to basically sidestep my request and blow it off. So i get to listen to propaganda the entire time im here. Another thing that im going to mention that irritates me about my uncle, i DONT want to hear any crap about it though. He's racist, point blank. Yes he lives in deep south, where the 1850s idea that every african american is a "N------" is still a valid concept. I want to yell at him so much. It's 2009 not 1850, that concept should DIE! I'm barely out of the airport and he's said this phrase three times minimum. For the most part im going to try and ignore it as much as posible, but if i hear it much more im going to let him know what i think about his concept of african american people. My dad has said to me that if he starts using this sort of language around my sister that he will cut all unacompanied contact between the two, and conciders that concept /more/ dangerous then a sex offender. The reasoning is because of how that one phrase can get her fired before you can count to three. I think that the primary concept that i need here is Temperance, patience...that will be the main thing that i will need to get through this.

While my uncle is annoying yes, the area is a wonderful opertunity to understand some more about history and culture. I half wish my uncle was not so hyperparanoid about the paranormal as well, cause i would like to talk to some of the Voodoo practicioners about the philosophy they keep. That and the food down here is not something that i get a lot back at home. Pricing though is going to be weird for me because of the different tax rate. Back home in Lincoln it's a 7% tax, here its 9% instead. I do know im not going to buy any Warhammer stuff while im here, when i can get it back at home for a couple dollars cheaper.

Speaking of Warhammer stuff, i brought a battlechest to work on while i can here. Fifteen Tactical Marines, five Assault Marines, and five Scouts. I might be able to get them semi complete while im here. I do want to finish the ones that i still have yet to paint first though.

I really hope that i get a decent amount of time to talk to friends back at home. That way i dont go crazy from being stranded in my uncle's house. I have ten days aprx until my other reletives show up, that's for about five days, and i go back home on the second.

I will be working on the Heartbreaker story while im here, as well as my poetry.

Wish Me Well!
