So…
i … ahhhh.

i was a wrestler in high school

ya know…

it goes from this… to this…

a few days ago
my uncle (father’s side, his youngest brother)
sent out an email to everyone in my family (and some other people i don’t know)
talking about the USPS postage stamp representing the muslim holidays “EID”
it was forwarded from some guy who often sends him things that he often forwards to me
mostly they’re dumb, sometimes somewhat insightful
and though i hate junk mail, i usually just let it slide
… but this one was all about how “real americans” should boycott the stamp
as it is a slap in the face to all of the “americans” who have died at the hands of the “vicious muslims”
hmmm
after three days of no one else in the family responding
i wrote out a response and sent it “reply all”

when i woke up this morning there was a voice mail from my father
.. i avoided it a few hours
and when i listened to it
it just said “call me”
when i did
i was shocked that he said
“i wanted to tell you i read your email… and i’m proud of you. what you did was the right thing… and though i don’t agree with everything you said, i admire that you did it and how you did it”

i was shocked.

the emails
