Staying here at my cousin's house taught me something new... Well it would be that, my cousin dana and my cousin raymond would be the kind of people that like to have fun, but only in a social kind of circle that does not involve my aunt and uncle. Lets start off for a bit with me saying that, jeez what a bummer, like the bond between parent and child has died in my cousin dana, and raymond.
I'll start off with my cousin raymond; you see I have basically grew up with him, and seeing him change over the times is not so much of a suprise to me except the fact that he has a girl friend, he moved out, also hes been well mooching off my stuff earlier ( its over now so I'll stop with it ). But it seemed to start off with my cousin when the thin line between his parent's started to break. I have spent countless times in his room before he moved out talking about why he wanted to move out, since he cannot stand his parent's dumb decision's. For instance, when I would visit my grandma's house, I go to his house and go to his room first, then he would be on his laptop as usual. And we would go on about how his parent's dumb decision's about making purchases beyond belief, which is the one where they sold the lexus, and my cousin thought that was a dumb thing. In actuality I always thought that the love and care for parents was the best thing, it came to me later that he was sick and tired of the care, and thought his parent's did not do a good job at it, as when I see it, there is nothing wrong. But I cannot help feel like, my cousin did the same thing to me as with his parent's because as I see it, he mooched off his parent's picked up and left, and came to mooch of me, but he expects me to provide the thing's for him to do menial tasks for his college work, or in other cases for job interview's to land him a better job. So now, he visit's on occassion back to his old home, to use him room and hang out a bit. I find it sad at most seeing that, he doesn't have any love for his parent's anymore when in reality his parent's love him back, when he takes that for granted; he has never hugged his mom in month's even his dad, nor showed any compassion for both his parent's.
At times like that I feel pretty lucky, that I cherish my mom and dad every day. ( cried a bit at that part, but onto more of the blog )
Second is with my cousin dana, and it took a little longer for her to snip the connection. I'll start of when I seemed to look at her, as the only sort of bright and cheerful female cousin I had that lived in the household. Now when I spent some time in her room, and my uncle would come in and hug he, she seemed very repelent of hugging. I'll drag in my story of oregon, when I stayed there for a week without my mom and dad; when I stayed at my cousin's place I was a bit more than worried that my cousin might get on my computer again, but I did not call for that at times, I called my dad most of the time to see how it was going, and seeing that out of the whole trip it seemed that my cousin dana, did not care much to pick up her cell phone and call her parent's, I mean I would go out of my way to ask my cousin ray for his cellphone so I can call my dad. But as the day's went on in oregon I saw that my cousin dana was pretty close and attached to Ray, and I mean by pretty close she went as far as to lick his neck, which in my standard's was beyond odd. Going along with that, I noticed she started to well "mom" me a lot like she own's me as a kid. Some example of that were, to take a shower, because she usually knows I am not well known for my hygiene and I am well aware of that, along with brush my teeth. At this time I was starting to get a bit of mad, because I cannot be told around by my cousin dana, I mean she's like 15 years old. And at the time she was having her period. I remember one time when all of us were in the house, and I was lounging in my cousin ray's room and I told him why I am starting to get a bit mad at dana, and that house is like the grand canyon because my cousin dana heard me from down stairs. She came up stairs to the room and told me I could hear every word you said. When I said back, oh yeah so you can hear what I say to make it clear to you.
It just so happen's that when I am there at my cousin's house I had so much fun, as to make my cousin laugh, and play along with me when I was playing Eternal Sonata (great game in my thoughts ). But only my cousin dana was the only person slowing me down when I was making jokes. Back into California, and now the present it would seem as, she seem's more connected to her friends rather than her parent's. Have I seen such contact with her parent's well not a lot, but it seems like time is repeating itself, well sort of, and it begin's to happen with my cousin dana secluding herself from the rest of the house, like she would be in her room all day, and not set a single foot outside her room, unless her friend was there. All couped up on the computer looking at manga. Another thing I would like to point out again is that she doesn't seem to give any sort of affection back to her parent's, she would give a good chat up with her brother, but not so much with her parent's. Lastly it would seem she is kind of this crazy cat lady pinkie pie said when you give her time.
What I want people to understand out of this blog post is that, if you have parent's that care for you, show some love and affection, as what I did for my parent's because nothing is more greater or better than a family bond between their children and their parent's. And never take care for granted.
