Well we recently got power back 'cause of the hurricane. Fortunately it was only the outer bands of the hurricane that hit us, but I swear I feel bad for the people it does hit because it's gonna be pretty bad. A huge tree that belonged to our neighbor got knocked over during the hurricane and it almost destroyed out roof. Fortunately the powerlines stopped it, but there were some down lines so it was sorta ok I guess... Well, I couldn't send a letter to stephanie's camp, I had the letter written out, but I had it typed up and it was on my computer. I was gonna send it but it was shortly after that the hurricane hit us and then the power was out. I didn't get a chance to print it, so i tried to write it, Unfortunately i never had the chance to write down the adress of her camp so I couldn't send it. It doesn't make sense to send it now, it would just be better to email what I had written now that I have power back up.

Well, Things haven't exactly gotten better. Let me go back and explain everything, that way it all makes sense. My mom and dad got divorced about 3 or 4, years ago. At the time my mom tried to put me in the middle of all the fighting going on between her and my dad, With her, everything is black and white. There is only pure good and pure evil. If I didn't completely side with her and NEVER disagree on ANYTHING, then I was pure evil. At the time I sided with my mother, but only at first. It's just an instinct that most people have in a divorce to side with the mothers, at least at first. At least with me and most other cases I've seen. I never liked my mom's family because they were always harsh with my dad and a bit cold at times with me. That quality came out especially during the whole divorce. I write in my spare time and at the time I was working on the first book of a trilogy I wanted to do. My mom's sister and my mom told me that I'd never make it. Well today I've finished the first 2 parts and I'm working on the last book. None of them have gotten published yet and If I can't get a publishing company to do it, I may just self publish it myself. The series is called "Unforgotten Memories" if you happen to see it on a store shelf one day. Eventually I began to side with my dad after the countless guilt trips and thousands of attempts from my mom to get me to spy on my dad. My mom's entire family has some problems, if I offend anyone I apologize, but my mom's family is a sub-culture of homosexual, money-craving, power-hungry, self-obsesses, manipulative, assholes. I found out that my dad basicly couldn't take all the mistreatment he was getting from my mom and her family and eventually it became a matter of either "Your Pride, Dignity, Freedom, and Self Respect or Your Marriage." My dad just went like "Fine, the marriage is up, I didn't want to push the kids into the whole divorce thing but if you're going to let your family ruin this family then I'll just do what has to be done to protect the kids." Eventually the whole divorce died down after a year and then I met Stephanie, the woman whom I fell in love with. Soon after, about 2-3 months later. Mark, my younger brother(I'm the oldest sibling BTW) was found to have Osteosarcoma in the shoulder. That whole tragedy killed me on the inside. Luckily he survived thanks to my dad. One day mark was messing around on my bed jumping around, I grabbed his arm tightly and just asked him to calm down and stop jumping on my bed. I thought it was a normal response to something like that. He had shoulder pain for about 4-5 weeks. My mom never took him to a pediatrician. My mom and my brothers continuously gave me guilt trips for having caused him that pain in his shoulder. My mom instead took mark to see her sister, who was not a pediatrician, she was not exactly considered to be a professional. She didn't work at a major hospital or done any real difficult work. She worked at one of those fakey medical clinics. She had absolutely no idea what was wrong with mark's shoulder and just said "Give him aspirin everyday to numb out the pain", My dad just went along with it for a while, I don't remember the exact details of why he didn't say anything for those weeks. One day my dad touched mark's hand and he went into excruciating pain. My dad just ignored what my mom had said and took him immediatly to get an x-ray. We found out that mark's malignant tumor had become visible because of my dad and me. The Tumor was inside the bone, when I grabbed him, the bone shattered spreading peices of bone on the muscle, that's what caused the pain. Today mark's arm has a large slab of metal from about the elbow to the shoulder. It's basicly metal covered in skin. One day after all the cancer event I told my mom "Mom, I have no desire to see your sister again. She is a cold, mean, heartless, human being and did nothing of the sort to help heal mark. She has done nothing good for you and has only manipulated you. She has only done the worst to me and my father and I do not respect that." and I said this to her because she had forced me to frequently visit her. That same weekend she came to my house, I was in the garage getting something I overheard a conversation she was having with my mother and my mom's sister said "Paul is arrogant, rude, stupid, cruel, mean-spirited and ugly just like his father" I didn't care what she called me, but it was the fact that she insulted my father that got me angry. I told her to either take back what she said or leave my house. In the end it was me that got kicked out. The make a wish foundation gave him a cruise to alaska and well a few months ago we went. On that cruise I was a bit depressed because I only remembered the last cruise I was on and how I had met Stephanie the first night. My other brother, David and I were not exactly on the best terms and I wasn't about to spend a week stuck on a boat with my brother whom at the time I had only a distrust and disgust in. I was invited to an event that a bunch of kids from the ages of 13-17 were going to meet up. I decided it would be better I try to make some friends and spend the cruise with them. When I got there I made a lot of friends, one of the clerks introduced me to a girl named Crystal when I first got there. From the moment she had a thing for me and eventually I told her that I had a girlfriend and I don't play the hidden relationships game because eventually you gotta dump 'em and it won't be pretty when the others find out you were dating another behind their backs and it's unbecoming of me. I also found out she had herpes and was what I call a 'Broken-Heart Syndrome' (AKA she recently broke up with her boyfriend and is looking for the first guy she can get simply for the sake of having a relationship) My brother david started to come to the place where me and all my friends met because he was alone. I invited him because it seemed right at the time. One day david had a tantrum because he didn't want to go on a tour that the make a wish foundation paid for. My dad pulled him to the exit and then David insulted my dad's family. I took it quite personally. My dad just grabbed his arm and said to shut up and just go with him. When we got off the elevator my brother David(He's the middle brother, he is 2 years younger than me, yet he is an inch taller than me) started crying and told me "Paul I can't beleive what dad did" I basicly looked him in the eyes and told him that he was a conceited prick to do what he did and he deserved much MUCH more than what he got. Then he ran off to where all my friends were and he was crying to them. Me and My dad went looking for him. I went in to talk him out of this funk he was in and Crystal comes up to me and says "Paul what an asshole your dad is!" I told crystal "I'm sorry to have to do this, but what David did was not only disrespectful, it was ill-mannered, rude, cruel, and just plain out wrong. Then my dad just went in and told him to suck up his tears and get out of there and go with us to shore. Ever since that day all those people looked at me with eyes of hate and detestment. Oh, and Apparently Crystal became my brother, David's first girlfriend. If you have to get a friend of your sibling's, cry to them, get them to like you out of sympathy and then turn that friend against that sibling just to get a girlfriend, that's sad. When we got back me and my dad had to go on a craze to get a new house because the one we were living in's lease was up. We got one, a much nicer one than we expected. Then david and mark started to say some lie about my dad hitting david. David is a coward and a liar. He is exactly the worst kind of person and it pains me so that my own blood would stab me at the back. My father doesn't do that to people, and until the day that my brother david had that outburst at my dad where he said that atrocious lie they had been on good terms. Now Mark, after my dad saved him, calls my dad every day just to complain like some spoiled brat. Oh and by the way Mark is 8 years old and when the whole cancer thing was going on he was like 6 or 7. which was why it had been such a powerful blow to me. To think that someone that was so close to you could just outright DIE was a bit scary and now I may never see him again with all this happening. My mom is trying to get David and Mark to be there with her full time. I honestly don't care about David he's a traitorous liar but Mark....he's a young boy full of promise. But in order to get mark here we're gonna have to try to get David here to. David is an extortionist as well. He's only trusted my dad when he can get what he wants and if it's inconvenient to be true and loyal he doesn't. To think that he may get what he wants simply because of the situation is just wrong, WRONG I SAY! Today my dad got in a car accident. He's ok. But our car was like totaled. I don't know what's gonna come out of all this. The skies have been like pouring ever since I found out. I just noted then when he called my cell phone when I was at my friend frank's house telling me he just got out of a car accident. well that's all for now.
