Sergzilla's Homecoming Part 1.
I took a vacation last week and kinda on a spur of the moment decided to go see my family in Florida. Put that tax return check to good use. I'd planned to go see them sometime this year anyway but I figured since I was on vacation and not keen on being stuck in LA again like the last time I went on vacation, it was the right time for a visit. I called my step sister Miss Big Nose (Beverly) to let her know I was coming. Told her to keep it a secret from mommy though. It was certainly good timing because one of my co-workers and I aren't speaking and I've been having some trouble with the maintenance supervisor. On top of that I just needed a break from LA and anything stress related. Packed the cool orange backpack the Nathan gave me last year to replace the one that got stolen during my ill fated birthday trip. (No I have not recieved anything in the way of compensation for the things "Mr Jackson" took. ) Was really pushing it though because Spirit is now charging like $65.00 for carry-ons and I was sure my stuffed backpack was over the limit. No one said anything to me though but next time I will either pack lighter or just check in another back for clothing. Will only take a bag onboard with my electronics. Definitely bringing one of my other consoles in addition to my Switch. Only because the PS4 and Xbox1 have most of the better games. Just saying. Sorry Nintendo. Of course theres always the option to simply mail some clothes ahead of time or pick up some things when I get to Florida. We'll see.
Anyway my brother Joshuazilla picked me up from the airport. He's grown up so much its pretty ridiculous and he inherited my handsomeness as well as an intelligence that MIGHT be superhuman. Plus he is VERY funny. Joshuazilla is also a dad. He has a cute little daughter who I probably would have really enjoyed if she wasn't screaming and throwing temper tantrums most of the time when I saw her. Brianopolis said thats to be expected from kids but my niece is....well she is spoiled to the point I worry she will be out of control when she gets older. The Dangerous African had trouble with his daughter and nephew to the point they had to be sent away. Part of me feels responsible for some of the things Joshuazilla experienced in the years past because as a big brother I just wasn't there. Was so wrapped up in my life and problems I kept everybody in my life at arms length. The truth is I know my being gay weirds some family members out and I struggle with some developmental shit. Mostly stuff I keep to myself thus I've kept my distance. Some things they probably can't understand or help me with anyway. Still being home reminded me what I've missed out on. Being back around family can certainly have a healing effect.
I have had this idea for years in the back of my head....me and Joshuazilla on a roadtrip or some crazy camping trip where we have to survive some insane shit that forces us to bond so I figured maybe if we went to Disney that would be a good start. One of my bosses suggested awhile back that I should go do something cool for myself. Universal, Disney or some other amusement park. I decided Epcot Center was good gamble. Figured I'd spend some time with Joshuazilla and maybe see some virtual reality shit. It really sucks that Epcot doesn't have anything even remotely related to virtual reality although the race car simulation ride is pretty cool. I guess the important thing is me and Joshuazilla had alot of fun. Plus I made alot of progress in understanding who he is and the man he is becoming. It would be very cool if I could get him involved in this filmmaking thing. Maybe fly him out here to assist in a production later this year. As much fun as Joshuazilla was to hang out with I need to talk about the other family members; especially my mom who I convinced to bake me one of her world famous banana puddings....
