simmering on low

I'm debating whether or not to tear one of my bros a new somethin' or other.

It's been a long time coming. A combo of both brothers acting selfishly over and over again, not seeing how they could make things easier for or show their thanks to people around them.

But then I wonder if it's just ME being selfish and wanting to feel appreciated and like something I did for them meant something to them. But maybe I did it for me, because by doing something for someone else I feel good. So is it all selfishness in the end?

I don't know.

I've been searching and researching to find a good and relatively inexpensive digital camera to get my bro S for his birthday. Lots and lots of research and searching... and some frustration. Then, today, I posted on LB&LG's blog (let me know if you want the addy... I don't link to it directly from here because it's more of a family blog) photos from S's grad festivities, including ONE photo that I took of him and his Prom date, and told him the photos were up. He emailed me and said, "Aw F*CK NO".... followed by links to DIFFERENT shots of him and his date, shots that were professionally taken... by my other brother. Haha.

I feel MORE than miffed that he's so offended by the photo I took of him and her. That he thinks its SO bad that he wants me to take it off the blog. As of yet, I haven't replied to the email OR taken the photo down.

I was very close to emailing him back my own version of an email filled with all caps swear words... and I still might.

I don't know.

What I do know is that tzatziki and tea do NOT go well together in my tummy. Urgh.

tea. and tzatziki. ick...

sleep on that, i would say (the tea and tzatziki, too :)) then see if you feel the same tomorrow and, if you do, go ahead and capitalise it!

Well, Phx, maybe it's just something simple like he doesn't really have strong feelings for this girl and doesn't want her to get the wrong idea and think more of it than she should. Or, maybe he's trying to play it cool and photos may make her realize that before he's ready. Or maybe they had a falling out and he doesn't want constant reminders. Maybe you should ask him why it bothers him so much before sending back an all caps email :)
