I introduce my mother to all my friends as BUDDHA because she is wise. Annoying but altogether wise. now why is that funny, because we are all Christians. but my mother possesses a certain understanding that is no less divine. and i know a lot of people will say that about their mothers but mine has it. truly. see i've been sick for as long as i can remember. ashtma, ear infections, foot drama, food poisoning, the occasional eye crap and of course ... the scoliosis which culminated if you will in the surgery i had in 2007 where my mother took on the world and went beyond the parametres of her god-ishness. i make it clear. my mother and i always arguing. it's been like that since i could talk - and that has been a very very long time (i think since i was like nine months old or so...).my mother is. guided by God she is. and that works for me. the end
THE COPY: I was sitting down listening to Norah Jones’ “Come Away with Me” and I began to think about future traditions. I thought… I want to sway with someone. Sway with my lover. To this music. More than that, I want that when we had an argument (and we’d have those because she’d be stubborn and I’d be pig headed (iChuckle)) we would never go to bed angry. We’d pop open a lover’s CD like this one and just sway. We may be as mad as hell but we would sway because we would never want to go to bed angry. And our children would know this. And they would never allow their partners to go to bed angry either because… well, because they would know better. They would sway. They would know it was better to sway. That’s the kind of man I want to be. Moreover, that’s the kind of tradition I’d like to pass on. Future Traditions. What's Yours?
