Big thanks to Mommy & Daddy for footing Carmen's tuition bill and allowing him to present the illusion of going to a hoity-toity high-level learning institution for another semester. It will be added to the endless list of harsh realities averted by some really spectacular parenting and sacrifice. Carmen expresses intense gratitude in all directions. Taking the things we have for granted has grown to pandemic proportions in the Western world, and Carmen is ever mindful of how improbably, mind-bogglingly, statistically-unfeasibly lucky he is, at all times. His cushy, loveflooded life leaves little room for moping. Still, on rare occasions CP finds his thoughts drifting into the hazy penumbra of melancholy and the infinite sadness. And in times such as these, he returns to the frothing wells of fond recollections provided by his very own birthparents that already provide so much. Few things buoy the soul like going back to school day free skates at Winding River with Big Gun, or his Momma tending to him during hallucinatory allergic reactions to Friendly's hot dogs, or performing impromptu renditions of "Like a Stone" by Audioslave with Big Gun on vocals and APR on percussion, or how there was always a perfectly refrigerated Wawa submarine sandwich waiting for him after every, single, day of school, how every episode of Power Rangers was taped sans commercials, how every gift on his demented and scroll-like X-Mas lists was represented regardless of consumer demand. TY.
