oh brother, where art thou?
This layout looks a bit poopy on 800x600. I tried to make it small enough so that you wouldn't have to scroll the actual page to see the image. But apparently I didn't try hard enough. Eh. What do you want? It was 5 a.m. and I really wanted to go to bed.
I went with my mom and Mason to take Adam (brother) to work this morning. He's working about 60 hours a week, because it keeps him busy and out of the actual prison. It was good to see him, but it took some work not to cry. I knew it would. He says that it's not so bad, really, since he's working a lot. While we were in the car on the way to J.C. Dunfey's (sp?)(that's where he works), he and my mom were talking about his drug thing. It was enlightening. I mean, I knew he sold drugs. That's what he got arrested for. And I knew that he'd been doing it for a long time. But I didn't quite grasp the magnitude of his involvement in it, you know? Pot, 'shrooms, LSD, maybe even a bit of crack... it just kind of shocked me. I knew he did acid and things - I've seen him do it - but I didn't know he sold it. Like... he manufactured the LSD. He made it. When they searched his house, they didn't find anything like that, but it was there. If he'd have gotten charged with that, he'd probably be in for five years or more. *sigh* It hurts to have yet another person that I love in prison, but in a way I'm glad he got caught. In his own words: "I had a lot of fun, but now it's time to give it up."
I can only hope he keeps to that. I think he will... I mean, he'll keep smoking pot and things in private, I'm sure, but I don't think he'll sell it anymore. He's got his girlfriend and her daughter (not by him), and according to him they're more important than anything else. Anything including the drugs. It was wonderful to hear that; to know that he has something that makes him so happy.
Blah. I can't talk about this anymore.
I told Mason I'd take him to his friend Justin's house. So I should do that. It's not too far away and it means that he won't be here anymore. Which, you know, is just a great thing.
