"Yeah, tell him 'Happy Birthday' and blah blah blah"

So, yesterday was my half-brother's thirteenth birthday. Note that I indicate the "half"ness as a means to show that we ain't close.

I remembered that it was his birthday at around noon and plotted ways to get around calling. I plotted not calling at all, seeing as how he didn't call me on my birthday. Then my aunt called and left a message on my phone saying something along the lines of "In case you forgot..., today is your brother's birthday and call him." Whatthefuckever. I haven't even called my sister in two weeks and we actually have much to discuss....like the results of "America's Next Top Model."

It's one of those situations where if you call the house for one thing, you get hooked into thirty minute awkward conversations with everyone there. Having to go back to work yesterday, I wasn't in the mood by the time my free cell phone minutes came up.

Fortunately, when I called everyone had left for dinner. I left a message, thereby relinquishing myself from further responsibility.

I do believe I'm turning into a prick.
