happy easter!

this one is a lonely one. i woke up to an empty house. i wish we'da went to church. easter doesnt feel right without it & its what we always did as a part of this day (christmas, only my granny gets up early enough to go to church). and this year the girls aren't here because they're celebrating with their new family.

the house is still empty. im still in my pj's sittin in a dirty room.
eh.

it did sort of bring two of my uncles home for awhile yesterday, though. my uncle ronald drove in yesterday morning from nicholasville which is near lexington (which is where i went to school and is about an hr and a half away), and my uncle gilbert and his daughter and soon-to-be ex-wife (i was surprised to see her) drove in from jamestown (in southern kentucky, where my family is originally from). they didn't stay long though. i only visited with them for an hour or so before they and my granny left for the hospital to see uncle bobby.

that's why they were really hear.
death & sickness bring ppl together moreso than holidays these days.

my mama was up at the hospital yesterday, too, and my brother came in town to go visit with everyone (he's still here though. leaving today). i was the only one who wasn't there and i felt bad, but candis was in town and we went to go get brittany a baby book and a few other things. we went and saw her later that night. it was weird. the baby is beautiful. she looks just like brittany with glasses, lol. teddy went, too. sean was supposed to go but he's in georgetown with his girlfriend this weekend (teddy has a girlfriend too now!!!! that's like the greatest news ive heard in quite. some. time. while he was over my house his cell phone rang and he told me to answer it when it rang, and if i continue on with this story im gonna completely forget where im goin with the first one so ill save it. its not that big a story anyway). no one held her but brittany. even though ive seen the two of them in the same space, together, it still feels surreal to me. very unreal. and truth be told, it makes me kind of sad for her even though i see that she's happy. i think i know why. i wont admit it tho.

a picture of assata

we went to go see her after the game.

what's that?
which game you ask?

that game nearly made me go gray
we're down by as much as 20 in the first half
down by 13 at halftime
manage to tie at the end of the second half
battle back to win the game WITHOUT garcia

the streets afterward were armageddon. it looked dead up like derby. bumper to bumper traffic. cars everywhere. blk ppl walkin through traffic w/ they L's in the air, pom poms, louisville flags & pennants, fully decked out in all they u of l attire. it was beautiful. i took some pictures of that too. its not lettin me upload em here so ill link em

pennants near the barbershop
the corner of 26th & broadway
b/t 26th and 28th & broadway

and my favorite one:

i dont think they ever took they l's out the air

crazy.
im a little nervous abt this illinois game, but i think we gon be ready. enough time to get rested up and hyped up and healed up. im lookin forward to it.

my brother just came in. i cant remember if i had anything else to mention here, so im gonna go see if i cant coerce everybody into going out for dinner since there will be no easter dinner here :o/

happy holiday, yall :o)
