So Long Little Sis

“change is good”, “change is hard”, “change ... that’s life” ... I hear those a lot ... but in this instance, I’d pick the latter ... my little sis M&M and her “fiancée” Romeo left for San Diego yesterday morning ... but I didn’t find myself holding back tears at all ... it’s a day everyone knew was coming for over a year now ... people have been quizzing me about how I feel about M&M leaving, my response as always, “it doesn’t really bother me at all, the great thing is that it gives me another place in The States to visit, semi-regularly” ... which is true ... I can add that to the list, among others: New York City, Phoenix and Las Vegas ... on top of that Los Angeles is literally a commute from San Diego ... Am I gonna miss my sis? ... maybe eventually ... but, I’ll be seeing her a couple times over the next few months, in September for Tatsu/Carteron’s wedding and in November because I have some business to take care of in LA one of those weekends ... another reason why I don’t feel anything at the moment is because, M&M not living here is something I’ve already become accustomed to ... I mean, she left for school for four years, then she just moved back in early this year after 10 months of living elsewhere, so I’m used to it ... living with M&M and Romeo, like I said when they first moved in, there were really no concerns about finding a way to co-exist ... but man, I thought M&M and myself were polar opposites, but it’s the exact same thing with Romeo and myself ... after 3 months of living with the dude, I only found one similarity and that’s Mario Kart (something which he says he’s going into serious training for, in anticipation of my November visit) ... anyways getting on to M&M’s last few days here, the weekend before this past, we went to downtown at some bougie-a$$ restaurant, which wasn’t a shocker by any stretch, then afterwards hit up “The Fam’s” usual spot “Squid” ... I’ve got stories/jokes about that night, but maybe another time, another entry ... then this past weekend was the familia gathering at the house ... so M&M has moved onto the next phase of her life ... one of those life altering moves, where there’s no turning back ... good on her for doing it ... hell, like I’ve said time and again, the first offer that comes my way, I’d be gone from Toronto in a heartbeat ... change, a lot of the times you have no control over it and you can’t shy away from it either ... change ... that’s life ... so long M&M, best wishes and much love to you and Romeo ...

Peace!
