Everything comes round in threes... I'm dreading #3

    I sincerely wish that this update could follow the stream of all my friends and be a great upbeat number but sadly it can't.  
My dad has prostate cancer.  I found out today.  I got home from the Campus Ministry Ice Cream Social and the phone rang.  This I thought was pretty miraclous b/c my phone doesn't ring.  It was my sister Jen.  She called and the first thing that came out of her mouth was "mom may call later about dad".  First thought that runs through my mind is actually "good he's ok".  In the lovely way of Kenny a voice rang through my head with "WRONG".  Jen said "dad's got prostate cancer"  I controlled myself through that phone call, then I shut my door and cried.  I didn't cry loud and I didn't cry long.  But I did cry probably the hardest cry I've had ever.  And I know how to cry let me tell you.  I mean it's really hard to write this now b/c I'm ready to cry again.  
To let you guys know he's got a really good prognosis.  Basically he and my uncle are in the same boat and brad is doing much better since his operation.  He's still got like 3 weeks of staying at home, but he's doing really well.  I thought I'd throw that in there for your updates.  
I am attempting a promise at a more upbeat update next time.  I can't guarntee, especially since I start classes tomorrow.  
I love you all and I'm sure that I'll hear from you soon
PS- Rachel, I got the postcard and I love it.  Thx a bunch

Lately I've been thinkin' about the past
About the good times
And have they all come and gone
And are there more years behind than ahead
Then I say to myself 
Fuck it let's rock 
Lately I've been thinking about who's in charge
About who they
And are they looking down and laughing hard
Are they aliens or robots or humanoids or gods
I think I'm just paranoid 
Fuck it let's rock 
What if someone takes my cat and what if she runs away
And what if she gets hit
What if someone takes my chick and what if she runs away
I wont be blue
Cuz I know what to do 
Lately I've been thinking about my vices
And about the prices
That I'll later have to pay
I've been thinking about myself
And about my health
Then I say what the hell 
Fuck it let's rock
