HAPPY FUCKIN' HALLOWEEN!! Damn, it's been a while since I updated. Sorry. Just got busy or I was distracted with something or I just didn't feel like updating. Been meaning to update on and off for the whole month, but...well...didn't.

One problem was that I got a PS2 and was glued to it non-stop for quite a while. But then, things got worse. Last weekend, I got an Xbox. Now, I have a hard time just pulling myself away to take a piss. I got the new Madden NFL 2003 and have been fixated on it ever since. In case you haven't guessed, I'm a football fan. Not a fanatic, but a fan. Might need to turn the difficulty on the game up a notch though. I'm playing as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and, so far, I've won all my games by about a 70 point margin. And I'm not cheating or anything. I'm just that fuckin' good. Anyway.

There's been some real drama going on around hear with the wife's family. Major drama. Started about 2 weeks ago when my sister-in-law's loser boyfriend told my mother-in-law, that he was buying a car from a friend and that he was moving back to Ohio. And that my sister-in-law was going with him. Well, this fucked up the mother-in-law somthing fierce, so who does she go to to pour her troubles out on? Yup, me and the wife.

Now, granted, I like to be here to help family when they need it, but she gets so upset about everything and then has to spread it around. Well, turns out that the fucker was kidding, but that still didn't lessen the sting any. Now, cut to a week and a half ago. Sunday.

The wife is working so I walk over to the in-law's with Icebear Jr. in the stroller and MonkeyBoy ambling along beside me. When we get to the in-law's, MonkeyBoy darts into the house leaving me to deal with Jr. and all the shit we brought. Well, once Jr. gets out of the stroller, he's off to the races (he's gotten pretty damn fast for a 2-year old). He darts right into the house, right into the living room where my neice-in-law is asleep in her playpen. Before I can get to him to keep him from waking her up, he changes course and heads over to my brother-in-law's "bed", a mattress on the floor. And then I see it. There on the floor, is the worthless idiot's Gamecube.

Apparently, when my sister-in-law came over to visit her parents, the loser came with her. But, since he doesn't feel like he needs to socialize with the rest of us, he brought his gamecube with him. He didn't even ask my mother-in-law if he could hook it up, he just marches in and starts hooking it up. She even told him that I was going to be coming with the kids and that they were going to want to mess with it. Fortunately, by the time I got there with the kids, they had left to run an errand. That's whey, when Jr. went running into the room, there was no one there to stop him.

Now, Jr. can't really play a video game, he doesn't have the understanding yet of what all is going on, but he likes to play with the controllers. I've played games before where he'll sit on the floor next to me with a controller that's not even plugged in and just move the sticks and push buttons, having a good old time, thinking he's playing. So, when I finally caught up to him and saw him with the controller in his hand, I didn't think much of it. I just noticed that the TV was off, the gamecube appeared to be off, and told him to put it down and led him out of the room. No biggie right? Nope.

About 10 minutes later, sister-in-law and worthless piece of shit comes back. By now, I'm enthralled with a football game or the race is on, can't remember which, and the kids have made there way back into the living room where the gamecube is. Jr. is trying to mess with the controller while MonkeyBoy is trying to wrest it away from him. Lazy, dumbass, waste of skin sees this and has a fit. Turns out, he had been playing a game right before they left to run to the store and had just turned the TV off, not the game. My sister-in-law had then told my mother-in-law not to turn it off. Neither one said anything about the kids.

Well, this lanky fucker starts yelling at my kids, all pissed off because he wasn't where he was when he left. They didn't turn it off, they didn't delete anything, they basically just moved something a little bit but that was all and he's having a fit. Well, my mother-in-law, who can't stand the piece of shit anyway, goes off on him for yelling at her grandkids. He was basically yelling at and blaming MonkeyBoy and he didn't even do anything. I guess he calms down some and goes back to playing his game. MonkeyBoy, being the little gamer he is and totally addicted to anything video game, sits next to asshole to watch him play. Well, I guess he was invading the fucker's personal space or something because the idiot turns to MonkeyBoy and rudely yells right in his face, "Do you mind?"

That was it for my mother-in-law. She gets onto him for yelling at her grandkids and treating them like that. Well, he takes offense. He thinks that, because he's black, everyone owes him something and that he should get special treatment. He thinks that becuase he's black, he can act how he wants and we have to accept it. I'm not saying that all black people are like this, just this asshole. Well, he gets all huffy, packs up his gamecube and leaves. On the way out he says, "That's it. I'm packing up my shit and moving to Ohio." Fine. But then my sister-in-law grabs her shit, yells at her mom, "This is why I never fucking want to come here. Because no one gets along with him." and storms off saying she'll never come back.

For the next 2 weeks her and her mother didn't speak at all. She thinks her mother owes her an apology and her mother doesn't think she should apologize for anything. Personally, I'm taking my mother-in-law's side. The fuckin' idiot's just glad she's the one who saw him yelling at my kids and not me. I wouldn't have yelled at him. I'd have stormed right in there and dropped his ass to the carpet.

Eehhh. Shit. I never meant to get off on a rant like this for this entry. I was just trying to put some current news up but got going and couldn't stop. The tension's really been hard on me and the wife, though. She's been trying to talk sense into her sister, who won't listen to her, and basically pushes her away (unless she needs something), and her mom keeps calling me or coming over and dumping everything on me. I feel like taking them both, locking them into a fuckin' room and letting them go at it and not letting them out until they can't stand anymore.

Sorry to be such a downer. Maybe this will cheer you up. The other day, Icebear Jr., unbeknownst to his mother an I, stripped off his diaper, found a pair of my socks, put them on and then proceeded to run rampant around the house. Here's a shot of him, mid rampage. One note, on me these socks barely cover my ankles.

He looks like he's wearing furry viking boots or something. Heee.

And, as everyone knows, tomorrow is Halloween and, of course, we're taking the kids trick or treating. I meant to take pics of MonkeyBoy in his costume (White Ninja), but he had taken it off before we thought about taking pictures. We got a few shots of Icebear Jr. in his costume, though. Ain't he cute?

In case you couldn't figure it out, he's a T-Rex. He looks so damn cute in it. Don't now how long that headpiece will last tomorrow night, though.

Oh well, have a happy halloween and don't eat too much candy. Save some for me.

Take care.

Da 'Bear
