    i hate all these holidays that have really just become another marketing day where we're supposed to go out and spend our money on shit people don't really need. Mothers do deserve a special day, i'll admit that, but I absolutely can't stand the stupid pressure put on other people to buy stuff, go out to restaurants and buy cards...

    and Genma, wow I used to think my family had its flaws. Hang in there kid. It ain't so much about how much you spend or even what you get, alot is in how you give it and if it fits the person. I guess that's just another way of saying 'it's the thought that counts'.

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    I agree with Masa (holy shit!) but all these holidays have become are mostly about buying shit for you Mom, not to say thats not a great present but it's supposed to be about love. For those of you who don't get your mom anything, if you think thats enough of a gift to her its your own opinion. I came back from school to make dinner for my mom . I usually did buy her something like candy and flowers etc. but this year I thought I'd do something that actually takes effort, so all, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

    Are there any mothers in GW? Ohh well, Happy Mothers day all the same.

    This year I gave my mom a kiss, a hug and we went out together for some breakfast. And yes, it was special.

    I wish my mom had that same philosophy. She loves to read books with a passion, so I bought her a $20 gift card to Border's. But since it was originally her money, she felt like I was just giving her gift back.

    Regardless, I won't post anymore about my family problems. Gotta get ready to go to my Uncle's and pretend everything's okay.

    Anyway... happy mother's day to anyone who is a mother or loves their mother.

    Just wrapped up another mothers day. My mom showed no appreciation for the very thoughtful, very expensive gift I gave her for her birthday (just a few days ago), so today I just made her a delicious dinner. She went back for seconds, so I guess that's a complement. Sometimes that woman frustrates me.

    I wish I could do more for my Grandmother. She lives so far away that I can't see her, so a phone call had to suffice. She appreciated it though.

    Sadly, my fiance lost her chance to become a mother today. She had a miscarriage while at work. I brought her home right away. Then there was "mother" stuff all day which made her feel worse.

    Damn i gave my Mom nothing, I normally buy her jewelry, but this year i planned to spend the whole day with her, take her shopping, see some sites, maybe catch a movie, but the wether was bad, so i decided that today i was going to do it instead, but it rained cats and dogs. I guess i will once again pick her up some jewelry. I should really start watching the wether channel.
