Obviously, there's isn't a whole lot to do here in toronto, which is why I'm getting all hardcore with the blog updates. Well, that, and playing Fable on X-box like it was crack. But that's what going away is all about. Indulgences.
Anyway, yesterday I realized that I had become that older relative. You know when you go to family gatherings of any kind, reunions or just partial gatherings at various homes, and all your older cousins/uncles etc. just have this ability to cripple you with absolute ease when you are rough-housing? Let me paint the picture, when you are 11 lets say, you decide to cheap shot your 20 year old cousin while he's watching TV, which you successfully pull off. His reataliation then is a quick smack to the face without even looking your way. This starts the fight and 11 year old you comes back almost full force, pushing and shoving, while 20 year old cousin lazes on the couch in front of the TV. 11 year old you is giving it your all while older cousin keeps you at bay with simply a right arm. Eventually you break through the defences and start hitting him in the gut, when suddenly a long index finger finds your armpit and digs deep, crippling you instantly. 20 year old cousin now has you at his mercy, and you haven't even broken his focus on the friends rerun.
Been there before? That was me yesterday, and I was so proud to now be that older relative.
