mr bucket

i have buckets of dumb. i dont actually know where i keep them, as they tend to pop up from time to time. there is no real consistency in their presence. i just get dumbstruck from time to time.

in other news, i really want to blog more. i have some thoughts i would like to get out. many and varied in topic, so a single blog post seems unreasonable.

ill start with whats recent. the golden dragons are a chinese acrobat performance group. the last time i saw them was just a week after my dad had passed away. got to take my family to see the kinds of shows i work on. they came back last weekend just after i found out that my uncle carlos had passed away. the show has got to be bad for me. i know its hard on my cousins. they lost their mother 7 years ago, and now their father, who was a great man, has found peace. unlike my own father who was gone in an instant, he lingered for a year. it was hard knowing how sick he was. he did well for most of the year after his brain surgery. it was just the last couple of months that he really started waning. gladly, i got to see him on thanksgiving a week before he passed.

anyway, it gave me something else to be thankful for.
