Somewhat Good News and More
Some good news about my older sister, some updates and off topic discussions I got on my mind.
Well, found out days or a week after my previous journal entry. My older sister got help with getting all of her belongings into her new apartment she's now officially living in now. She even got a new mattress from what I've been told. The new mattress was from someone who was going to move into my late uncle's house but for some reason, that person never shown up to move into my late uncle's house at the time before he passed on. Why that is we don't know.
But the good news is that this person had a new mattress and they gave it to my older sister. I think whoever it was ended up moving elsewhere and gotten a mattress somewhere else from someone else and that said person was thinking my late uncle or someone he knew could give the new mattress to someone else. So someone helped getting it to my older sister's new apartment. So she's got herself a new mattress to sleep in. She's from what I heard living in her new apartment with all her belongings there now. Although, my mom did say there's some things she'll be working on getting done as she lives there such as she'll have to use a different internet service since the area she's currently living in doesn't use the one we got in the area me and my mom live in. Hopefully, the one she uses is just as fast and good as Xfinity.
I think I was told my older sister was going to be trying to replace one or two of the furniture she's got or look for something new that she'll need in her new apartment. I don't know what but I at least was told that and she has places to sit down. There's other things I've heard about this new apartment she lives in currently but I'd rather not bring those details up because one, I don't know how it all works and two, I'd be making too long of a journal page here if I went into details. Whoever helped my older sister, we got no idea, my older sister doesn't always go into more details. Why she does that, we got no idea, probably for privacy reasons which is fair but I do wish she would tell my mom more about it so she can at least suggest what my older sister can do.
My older sister is also distancing herself from my dad and his parents because things with them are as she describes as "they're driving her up the wall" which is understandable on her end because I can at least see it from her point of view. My dad is a psycho, a flaming narcissist whose lied, cheated, played dirty, took his problems out on anyone he had no reason to hate as he would do that to look for an outlet to take his problems and frustration out on just because he's angry or someone made him angry. I know, I shouldn't talk about my dad that way but it's true, he's a monster and such an asshole hypocrite.
My grandparents, the parents to my dad, well, the grandmother is starting to show signs of being forgetful or more so with that, her health is not like it used to as she has had some falls but she's sounding like she's survived it but her being forgetful and misplacing things and possibly not listening is what my older sister has stated drove her to annoyance. The grandfather, yeah, his hearing is not what it used to be, he often doesn't wear his hearing aid, be it if he forgot or he hates wearing it, he can be just as stubborn, and sometimes he speaks too loudly when he can't hear, just wear your hearing aid, it's not that hard. That, and sometimes he mishears things and ends up almost saying something that sounds like he's about to get pissed and mouth off till we have to let him know what was really said and then he sees he heard the wrong thing. I get it, they've grown old and this happens to people when they grow old. Especially if they're not in the best of health like Dick Van Dyke. Sure, that actor is 100 years old now but he's looking and sounding like he's still got his mind, body and health intact. But I have seen he's recently in years slowed down but you can bet that we'll never have another wonderful man like Dick Van Dyke even if we had hundreds of years to look.
Even if you check out the music video he was in call "All My Love" you'll see what a wonderful man Dick Van Dyke is.
But I know I shouldn't be saying such things about my family and all but with how my dad and his parents are right now. Yeah, it's a circus of madness over where they are. My dad's second wife, well, they're divorcing and we all told my dad that marrying a woman half his age was a bad idea, how it will only end in disaster, how his second wife was a firing breathing dragon karen bitch but he never listened. So far, my dad's soon to be second ex-wife, we all knew she was going to take him for all he's got ( even though he wasn't a wealthy Steven Spielberg ) but with how she's a raging bitch. She'd find some way to get revenge on him regardless. Like I remember saying in some previous journal entry. There was a time, don't know when and how long it went on for, my dad and his soon to be ex-wife were fighting a lot, what about, we never knew. But I think I know why and if there's anyone to blame for the reason, it's both my dad and his soon to be second ex-wife who are to blame and it's over something so childishly stupidly immature and vengeful like a couple of bickering children.
Now my dad's soon to be second ex-wife is doing the same thing to my dad that he did to my mom and me when my mom divorced him. Karma is beating his ass finally. Even when my dad would try calling me and my mom to ask about this and that, we all know he's got some kind of angle and we're kicking him out of our lives like we did years ago. He kept trying to lie about even his soon to be second ex-wife but we kept telling him we don't want to hear it as we all know he's lying his ass off out of spiteful, childish revenge. But I will say that I believe that my two younger half siblings, I don't know if my dad is a better choice for them to stay with, even though they seem to prefer him, just because he got remarried and had two more kids after the first two kids he had caught onto how he's such an asshole and grew wise to not trust him at all, and he had two more and did a better job with them, doesn't make him a good father. He only did a better job at being a good dad the second time was because everything was doing better for him at the time and everything went his way. But once things don't go his way and he can't leech off people, he turns into a controlling, bullying, vengeful, immature, hypocrite monster to try and force his way. It's enough to make you want to blast him out of a cannon and have him land somewhere his punishment is waiting for him.
So everytime my dad tries to lie about his soon to be second ex-wife. We shut him down by pointing out how we don't want to hear it nor do we want to hear any of his lies. He even tries to lie about himself but we keep on making sure we correct him on that by calling him out on his bullshit. Me and my mom may live in a new and better apartment now but we no longer need to associate ourselves with my dad, his side of the family or his soon to be second ex-wife. Everytime anyone they've victimized are around them. They have to fight the urge to go all incredible Hulk on their asses.
My older sister may have been a brat in the past, my dad and his side of the family may have spoiled my older sister rotten and treated me and my mom like shit just because I wasn't the favorite and they didn't like how we called them out on their actions but for me, I knew and learned that long ago as a child, my dad, his side of the family were people who are dysfunctional psychos that never felt like family nor acted like it. My older sister, she only ended up learning this way later in life in recent years. Never thought she'd ever have to see and learn that painful truth that I learned as a child and that my mom learned when she was married to my dad for who knows how long and long after she divorced my dad. But my older sister sadly learned that truth and I can only imagine how she felt learning that.
My older sister may have been a brat in the past and treated me like crap but with her learning this truth now. I think things have changed, how much of that has changed, I got no idea.
On an off topic and lighter topic. Anyone still remember Disney's Gargoyles? That old 90s cartoon that was kind of dark and gothic like for even Disney to create for a kid's show back then. I seem to be looking back on that old show and like anyone who watched it. I felt nostalgic, wanting to go back to some good old days and good times, and I still can't believe Disney made something so dark at the time for kids and we were never traumatized by that. Nowadays, Disney is too afraid to make cartoons like that now. Sure, there's been some cartoon shows they made that has some dark moments, scenes and episodes to them but they never seem to go further as they did with Gargoyles. So I'm glad when that cartoon show came out when it did because if it came out twenty years after the 90s. The people who are offended easily by everything would've crucified the show and it would've gotten so much backlash. So I'm glad it came out when it did.
After everything I'm saying now. This is my currently new update. But tell me what you all think of and what all you love about Disney's Gargoyles. Be it characters, episodes, scenes, lines you love, anything to talk about it as a way of discussing all that is good about it.
