Jasmine

Feb 27, 2008

Well alot has been going on over here in my little bubble, actually far more than i can handle.. Between family members going in and out of the hospital and sleeping at one elderly persons house after another, it's all become quite overwhelming and the lack of rest is starting to cause occasional mood swings and a bit of narcoleptic behavior because i feel myself randomly falling asleep mid conversation with people. Funny thing is, this is not the reason behind todays blog.... Amongst all this chaos, as i mentioned before, i have been sleeping at my dads aunts and uncles houses cause being older they get very nervous of there baby sister having open heart surgery and have requested someone young sleep at there house incase something were to happen that there'd be someone there to help take care of the situation. well on Monday night i slept at my dads oldest aunts apartment which happens to be my grandmothers apartment and also the first apartment my family lived in when we moved to miami so sleeping there always takes me back a bit. while talking to my aunt i was reminiscing about a friend that used to live in the building next to ours and how i used to sit and talk to her for hours on our portable phone. and my dads aunt quickly clarified to me that this girl i speak of was a figment of my imagination. that how else could i sit on the floor with a portable phone 6 apartments away from the base and have long dragged out conversations with the girl in the vacant apartment across the way. Her name was Jasmine (coincidentally my favorite movie used to be Aladdin) and she was even of Arabic decent. So there you go ladies and gentlemen..... I am not only crazy now but i have been for quite some time.
