Well, actually Cody, I heard it 'a bit' different than that. A little in reverse. And excuse me if I'm wrong, but I think you might have started the 'F' factor. Nonetheless, sorry you got no sleep. But, when I grew up, it was respect my elders. I would have NEVER spoken to my parents that way. I think grandpa is frustrated that you could be helping out more. He doesn't want you to make the mistakes he's made, (dropping out of school) is the way I see it. You've really got to reach down from inside Cody. I think because of them just moving back, you find it hard to hear advice on getting a job, and so forth. Like, "How could they just come in to my life after so many years, and try and tell me how to run it." You've got to realize, that's the way Grandpa is...with everyone, not just you. He gives advise, that's what he does....., sometimes we'd rather not hear it, sometimes it's something we need to hear. I respect Grandpa, and when you can do that, I think you guys will get along just fine! (It's called 'Power Struggle'! Who's going to get the last word in!)

Sweet dude, send me your old one over, I wanna get something better than my childish camera.

Cody, this journal page really bothers me. You are talking about my dad, the man who, in my book is the greatest guy in the world. You see, all he was doing is helping you guys out. He didn't have to, he just wanted to. He did not want to see some people from human services coming in, and taking you guys because of the way you live. You may think living that way is perfectly O.K., but I hate to tell you this, those people don't care what you think, and they can do whatever they want. Grandpa is frustrated with you, yes, do you blame him. He wants to see you do more with your life. If he didn't care, well then, he wouldn't say a word. Cody, you quit school. Yes, so did they. But things have changed drastically since they were young. You could drop out of school and get a job at any factory, and that is exactly what grandpa gene did. As a matter of fact he got several jobs in order to support his family. He took care of his responsibilities, always has. I RESPECT THAT!!!! The situation has changed, jobs don't come a dime a dozen. Just ask you dad. We have both lost our jobs due to downsizing and companys sending jobs to other countrys. You have a very rude awakening coming, your dad is not going to be able to support you forever. The only thing any one wants for you is good, I am sorry you can't see things for the way they are. I only hope one day you see why we do the things we do. Mom

By the way, when I talked to your grandma and grandpa Weber, they said they hoped Grandpa gene beat your butt. Just thought you should know.

Well, that's fine, I still respect them for all the years they have helped me.
I don't care what the situation is, if he dropped out of school, and bitches at me about it, then it makes him a hypocrite. Either way. So screw that. He has a family? When in high school? That's responible, right? He bitches at me for responsibility, yet he couldn't stay responsbile once-so-ever. You can have your opinions on him all you want. But dont' chastise me because I don't like the guy. He is nothing but a jerk to me.

Now that is just bull Cody. What do you mean couldn't stay responsible. That makes absolutely no sense at all. My god Cody, get a clue. How could you say the things you are saying. He is your Grandpa. All I can say is I'm speechless. I thought I taught you better than that. The things you are saying would even piss your dad off. You know what, just as you can have your so called opinions so can we. Keep feeling sorry for yourself. You know, I always tryed to stick up for you, but the words you have said break my heart. You can talk about anyone you want, but DON'T talk about my dad, I will fight you till the end on that one.


mom

I'm speechless!

That is the problem, all any of you people want to do is argue. When did I search for empathy? Not once. I don't look for ANYONE'S. I've learned over time not to, no one cares until they are pissed off. Again, everything you believe in, and I don't, automatically pisses you off. It shouldn't be like that. Taught me better? TAUGHT ME BETTER? Mom, honestly, what have I been taught that I didn't learn on my own? No one was there when I got my heart torn out of my chest by ex-girlfriends. No one was there to tell me not to go back to them, only to get my heart ripped out over and over. No one was ever there to make me feel better. No one was there to teach me the right from the wrong when I needed it. You say you are always there, but I just wish that one day, someone will come over and simply ask, "Hey Cody, how's it goin'? Want to go on a car ride?" Not once in seven years has that happened. I learned that I have to do things by myself, and keep my opinions to myself, because obviously, not many people care. Luckily, I have Jessica to hold my hand when I need her to, and to rest my head upon when I feel like shit. Before her, I never had that, and you know it. About the grandpa thing. I am really tired of arguing about it. Everyone says "oh, you have soo much talent." Bullshit. I don't have any more talent than anyone else. Just ask Grandpa...he'll tell you that. He shoves Dakota down my throat, like he is so much more superior. So what? My idea of a good time isn't cutting down trees and drinking coffee. Just because grandpa's view of morality and life may be more experienced, doesn't automatically make them correct. You would figure that over time, grandpa would be the ONE family member I WOULD be able to connect with. He was a rebel when he was young. He did as he felt. You know, so why does he look at me like I am so inferior? Why doesn't he look at me and say, "You know what, Cody? You are a good grandson. You don't do drugs, you don't drink, you don't stay out late at night. You're an alright kid." No, instead he says, "Cody, you don't have a job, you lazy asshole. You aren't in school, get a job." My dad is the only person in my damn family that cares enough to sit down with me and talk.
You know, the night I stayed the night at your house and talked to Brian, he was really cool too. He looked at me in his eyes, and not in what he thought I should be. Just because I am not a replicate of Dakota, mom, doesn't mean Grandpa shouldn't treat me just as well.
And just because I am not getting paid, doesn't mean I don't work my ass off. Look at my art page. You think 200+ pieces of art came out of pure fun? No, sometimes it is hell. Sometimes it IS a lot of work. But no, I don't run the risk of injuring myself, therefore it isn't worth anything.

I am just going to say this. Someday, when I am older, and doing what I want to in life, all of you people are going to look back and apoligize.

I am not sorry for any statement I have made, and I have no reason to apoligize. Anyone that harasses me for being irresponsible better look in the mirror. Even you, mom, are irresponsible. Every person on Earth is in some way or another.

But hey, maybe someday, someone outside of the Weber family will care enough to come over and treat me like family, instead of like garbage.

i took a life worth living and made it worth a mockery.

You know Cody, you say you work hard on your art. I totally agree. But, what you are not seeing is what everyone is trying to tell you. I say, cool, follow your dreams. I have always said that. You are very talented. But, in life it isnt all about that. You have to have a back up. Your dad and I both worked at 14. Don't you think there are things I would rather have done. Don't you think I would rather have done something I enjoyed and loved. Life isnt always about what you want. Its about what you need. You cant live on dreams. Now maybe someday you will be able to find an awsome career doing what you love. I truely hope that you do. But until then you need to do something, even if that just means giving your dad a hand around the house. Now I say that because it is your dad who tells me over and over again that your the reason the house looks the way it does. So if you have a problem with that talk to him about it. And I do not compare you to Dakota, you two are total opposites. THats what makes the world go round. I love the qualitys you have and I love the qualitys he has. It was just yesterday that i was telling my friends at school how proud I was at the fact that you are a good kid, who doesnt do drugs, or partys. I didn't do drugs or party either. Either did your dad. Last i knew, we didnt get any prizes for that. But anyway, I am glad you stay away from all that. You can say all you want about me not being there for you, but my door has never been locked. I am sorry we have rules, such as eating in the kitchen, that are soooo bad that you couldnt stand to be here. Only brian knows the many nights I cryed all night because you kids seemed to hate me. I have only tryed to do the right thing. I am sorry I have been such a shitty mother. That was never my intention. I wanted to kids to have morals. I was just trying to be a good mom. I am sorry the Webers are the only one you have respect for. I've done the best i could do. Mom
