50 years.
I was probably in the 4th or 5th grade
when I discovered the Kennedy assassination. I remember being pretty obsessed
with Lincoln having been shot, but this was a whole new world to me. I would
sit in the library in Redondo and pour through every Kennedy book I could get
my hands on. There were many that covered everything from his legacy and
politics, to the theories and conspiracies that I became enthralled with.
I gravitate towards things that fuck with my head. When Ted
Bundy was executed I lost my mind. How it was that we as a society could
actually punish people in such a brutal fashion was beyond me. Kennedy was a
charismatic leader of the free world. He had a beautiful family and even if
someone doesn’t agree with his stance on important issues, did he really
deserve a bullet to the head?
Of course, as my age grew, so did my knowledge. I discovered
all of the different pieces of information about the epic event of today’s date
in history. It really could be considered an unhealthy obsession, but luckily
on this one I am not alone. Of course, that doesn’t really make it better.
It being the 50th anniversary of his death, I in
a strange flurry of excitement. Am I actually happy for a day that is about
someone who was murdered 50 years ago? No, not at all. I find myself sad and I
want so badly to know the truth. I want to hug Jackie. Actually, the one I am
most impressed with is Caroline. She has lost so many members of her family in
such a tragic way.
Ok, enough with death and on to, um, well, death.
Tonight is the release of Catching Fire, and I get to
go!!!!! This evening at 6 I will be chillin in my seat, getting all excited to
see my girl Katniss kick some ass. After my movie, Ken and I are supposed to
meet up with Jenni and Dan who are in town this evening. I will hopefully be
able to bring them by Steve to show off my house, but I have a feeling this
will not happen. They are driving today, so they will most likely be tired. I
really would like to show off Steve, but if it doesn’t happen I will be ok.
I am decked out in my Hunger Games necklace and pin. I
really don’t have an appropriate JFK outfit. LOL! I do, however, want to make
sure to place a rose at the JFK Bidet.
We got a shit ton done yesterday. Ken built the closet and
put on the screen door. We were able to hang up just about all of the clothing
that goes in there. I even got rid of two bags of clothing and shoes! YAY ME! I
was very proud of myself. The boys started the tedious process of going through
the boxes of toys we had packed up months ago. I was impressed with them, also,
since they really did take out a lot of items to toss. Once they decide on
everything, we can put in the shelves to organize the ones they keep. It will
hopefully be one of our accomplishments of the weekend.
Our catio is not waterproof. There are a number of leaks,
which only is really bad in the idea of keeping anything like cardboard boxes
in there. Ken is going to go up to the roof and will hopefully be able to patch
some of the leaks. My folks will work on it tomorrow to set up the door and
screen to block it all off to make it an actual catio. I am anxious to have it
all done.
Let’s hope this weekend is awesome!
