everybody has one.......the crazy uncle!
wow.........beed don't know if he should write the following or not as it most definitely will open him up for ridicule. beed was discussin' a topic with a friend of his last week. it wuz about family. u know the old sayin', "you can pick your nose, you can pick your friends but you can't pick your family"
beed's buddy mike (whom beed wuz havin' the discussion with) is an extremely intelligent guy. from his description, all of his brothers and sisters are pretty sharp and all have pretty much become productive citizens. and they are big family, mike is the youngest of 12 kids. but even mike admitted that, sure, his extended family had a few black sheep in it also.
if most people would be honest, they would have to admit that even the best of families are going to have an abberation or two. it might be a brother, cousin, sister or the ever present in all families....... el loco tio (the crazy uncle). beed is gonna straight up admit he has a crazy uncle. this uncle is extremely intelligent but for whatever reason, his brain chooses not to maintain the proper amount of neurotransmitters, creating a chemical imbalance that causes him to do some flat out stupid shit.
beed hasn't even seen this uncle in a couple of years and he lives in b.g. beed's not going to list any specific act of idiocy from his uncle but if beed is ever feelin' low or thinkin' he has truly lost it this time all he has to do for a massive dose of self-esteem is pick up the telly-phone, call his mom up and and question her "how is uncle xxxxx doin' these days".
beed's precious mom is one of those people that is all too happy to share the family dirty laundry with another family member. beed, is one of those people that honestly doesn't want to know what stupid shit that a relative has done so he rarely does do this, but on the occasions he has done it, he usually uses ends up using phrases like "no kiddin?" .... "he didn't really do that did he?"...."why in the hell would anyone do that?"
beed's precious mom has done so many things to help her little brother out that it amazes beed. beed unnastands about takin' care of your siblings but if beed's hermanito (little brother) had treated beed the way el loco tio has treated moms, beed would have kicked his ass to the curb a long time ago.
beed guesses that is just another reason that dahbeed loves women so much. it never ceases to amaze dahbeed at how compassionate that the majority of women are. men, will give you a couple of chances but then it's out with the garbage. maybe that's why there are so many more female nurses than male nurses. we as a society need those people that will care for us when we are hurt.
we need that person that cleans that scrape and blows on it to make it feel better and give us some milk and cookies to help make the pain go away. women seem so much more ameniable to these roles than men do.
bein' a former marine, beed has always been a traditionally macho, tough guy personality. but when the entire family was gathered at beed's middle brother's deathbed (cancer got him 10 years ago) it wasn't beed that held things together. it was a 5'2, 105 pound angel in a nurses uniform that kept that whole room together.
beed marveled at the strength it must take to work on the floor where they put patients who are obviously near death. how could you come to work every day knowing you were going to lose a patient again today and there would probably be a roomful of family members that were going to lose it and your job was to make it as painless as possible?
beed wishes he had remembered that young nurses name.....she was no older than very early 20's but she had a strength and compassion that beed has yet to see in the strongest of men.
wow, beed don't know how he ended up here.....he started out talking about el loco tio and how every family had one and ended up talking about how he fell in love with an angel of mercy 10 years ago because of the compassion and empathy she displayed at the most difficult of times.
here's a shout out to all the female nurses of the world......we love ya'll and thanks for bein' there for us.
beed will try not to ramble so much next time or veer significantly off course but for those of you that have been readin' dahbeed for awhile on hilltoppah haven, you know that is a promise that he might very well break.

I have an uncle and 2 cousins on my mom's side just like this! Only I get a kick out of hearing some of the stories. Maybe I'm dimented? It amazes me how they have lived this long to be quite honest...
There are people in my family who are so crazy that they re-define the word "normal." And I'm so used to it that when I tell a friend something they did, they look at me with the strangest expression....like, "do you realize what you just said"? Mi vida loca!
