Brother and Friends
It was a matter of weeks ago that my brother, 17 years old by the way, came home drunk... she brought him home. We also discovered that he had starting smoking and has been for quite awhile. I can tell this bothers our mother and I'm not sure she knows what to really do about it... and of course my opinion of him hasn't exactly gotten better either... The smell can be awful... I don't even want to go towards his room unless I have to. He is a good person at heart, even though he makes some of the not so bright decisions he does. One other thing I've noticed now, is when they argue and my brother is angry, he goes around spewing the f-bomb. This doesn't sit well with me either, I don't think you should EVER say that stuff around your parents even if it's not directed at them.
This brings me to my friends... recently my friend Mike was down visiting and I found out he smokes too and he offered me, but I declined... at which point he says, "Damn Dave, no drinking, no smoking..." The way in which he said it, to me sounded like he thought that was a bad thing. This bothers me... I might have misunderstood him though. It urks me, because it's like he was saying, "come on, ruin your health, regardless of what YOUR choice is". Drinking is another story, I told him when we hit 21, I don't mind to try out some different kinds of drinks, but it's like all I hear about is drinking... like thats all there is to life... drinking, getting wasted, drinking, drinking, drinking, drinking... FOR GOD'S SAKE... I'm tired of hearing about alcohol. My friends are good people and all, but add all this and the fact that Mike's sense of humor can something be overdone and aggravate me...
I'm not really asking any questions here, but if anyone would comment, please do. I just wanted to get some of this off my chest.
