Mother's Day

Good Afternoon y'all,

Sure it may be my upbringing in the semi-rural areas of Utah, or the fact that I appreciate all that my parents have done for me in the rearing process, but I feel that Mother's Day is one of the most important holidays out there. In fact, were I the Lord Grace Chancellor or the World, I would move for the notion that everyday on the Gregorian Calendar be both Mother's & Father's Day with a dash of Christmahannakwanza. Some of you out there may be saying to yourself, "Wow, what a mama's boy!" and you would be absolutely right...but my daddy gets equal representation as well, just wait another month until his day comes around.

There are many skeptics out there that say Mother's Day is a collaborative effort between the various gift card companies out there commanded by General Hallmark & the Floral Industry...and you would be absolutely right...but the BS about showing your mother how much you appreciate them still rings true despite it's vale of Commercialism. Personally, my mother was there for me through better or worse, richer or poorer, & all that other stuff like marriage used to represent back before my father was an itch in grandpa's pants. When I was but a wee lad, we lived in a modestly stated, run-down fixer-upper in an older part of Ogden...and now we roll on dubs in the aptly named city of Eden. Moral of the story: Love, hard work, & knowing when to have fun is the key to moving up in the world. Who taught me all the tremendous values that I live by? This isn't rhetorical, I really want you to guess. That's right, my mama...and my dad had a few nuggets of wisdome in there too.

So, please...whether you truly care for your mother's well-being or not, because I understand that not all of them are as grand & wonderful as mine, please at least let them know that you appreciate them taking care of you...even if it's similar to how a 4-year old takes care of his new toy by throwing it against the way until it breaks & waiting for daddy to walk around barefoot & step on it. That is all I have to say on that. As for my personal life, I'm proud to say that I have a date tomorrow night...for the first time in a while...so wish me luck...or not...but at the very least, I request that you do not cock block...for that is very uncool. I wish you all success in your adventures as well. Until next time...peace.
