Not A Good Week, But Slowly Improving |
|
|
At least I got 4 days off starting tonight, then its back to work on Tuesday for a brand new project. I get to sit on my ass while looking at 80 to 120 foot steel piles being driven into the ground by a gigantic hydraulic or diesel generated pile driver. Good thing I got double hearing protection or else I'll go deaf, YEAH!!!!!!!!!
In all seriousness, it truly hasn't been a good week. I kind of got some devastating news monday night. My younger brother got viciously beaten up by two guys on saturday night when he was out to the bar no more than just a two minute walk from his house. He actually got beaten up pretty badly. I guess the initial thing that upsetted me is that my parents found out shortly after it happened, while I never found out until two days afterwards.
It broke my heart, he is my little brother, and you know he could of been killed. He got some serious facial injuries and he still can't see out of one his eyes. He told me the doctor said he was actually pretty close to losing his sight completely in that eye. He is on like 10 different kinds of medication, but he'll pull through. That I'm truly grateful for.
I guess what really started all this, is that he was just talking to some girl at the bar. Her boyfriend took offence to that, him and his friend tried to start a fight with my younger brother, but all of his friends came to his aid. Those guys ended up leaving. My younger brother, left a few hours later and thats where he got jumped. I guess if he was smart. Some of his friends should of went home with him.
My younger brother is definetely out for revenge and he feels pretty optimistic, he can find out who those guys were. I personally wouldn't want him to go that route in terms of revenge because something worse could happen that would probably get him arrested.
I guess what really angers me is the fact those two guys will probably get away with it since their were no witnesses when the incident happened. To them it'll probably be a good joke or story they'll tell their buddies of how they felt they were tough guys for attacking a guy 2 on 1 from behind.
Other than that he is doing good. He has just been relaixing over the last few days allowing his ribs and face to recover. He should be ready to go back to work in about another week.
Other than that, on my part, thats what has been on my mind lately. I got four days to relax, I'll probably go out to see speed racer tomorrow even though I get this very bad feeling it isn't even worth the money I'm going to spend on it tomorrow.
If anybody takes the time out of their day to read this journal. I would like to ask people of the GFF community to recommend some movies for me to watch over the next 4 days. Not nescessarily your favourite movies of all time. Just movies you think an average movie watcher should definetely watch.
