Brotherhood = Infinity

Sorry, all! I know I haven't posted for quite some time. Let's pretend this is my entry for 6/30/08. Keep in mind, I'll be talking from my past self's point of view.

How I got there is a long story, but I spent the past week at my bro's place in Chicago. While he was at work, I would keep Addison entertained (let me make it clear right now that this is the happiest baby I have seen in my life); when he got home, we would walk down to the beach and talk about life and things in general (sound familiar?) and play the Wii back at his apartment.
To sum it up, this past week was the best time of my life. No moment I ever had with Liz even comes close.
Oh, and by the way, here's my favorite quote from the visit:

Jonathan: Are you having fun?
Me: Are you kidding?
Jonathan: Well, are you happy?
Me: Hell yes!
Jonathan: Does it have anything to do with Liz?
Me: No.
Jonathan: Good. You're learning. (He followed this up by blasting the car radio, which was playing "Rainy Monday" by Shiny Toy Guns. We both smiled and rocked out to the music.)

At the visit's end, my brother gave me his hat (pics to come) as a reminder that, no matter what goes wrong or no matter where I am in my life, there's always our brotherhood, and nothing can break that. And as long as we have our brotherhood, we can have weeks like this.
From this day forward, I swear on my name that I shall not be seen without that hat on my head (except maybe in class).
Cheers, bro! Couldn't have had a time like that without you!
