The 7 things I hate about my relatives (on mom side) !

Call my Uncle Tim Contest and post:

(http://crazyafterall.blogspot.com/2008/06/in-every-person-there-is-trait-that.html)


After you have examined the post on the back story and rules of the contest, let’s go in-depth with the matter of the situation. There is a single out by Miley Cyrus called “The 7 things I hate about you”. The song is about the 7 things she hates and likes in a boy. I on the other hand decided to make my own list of 7 things I hate about my relatives (on my mom side of the family). Which happen to feature complains towards Uncle Tim that may give you an idea for your recorded voicemail. It’s not just Uncle Tim, it about my other Uncles and their families.


Just in cause you don’t know who my Uncles are, I will give you a background check. Uncle Tom is the oldest, he doesn't care all that much about Papa and Nana and since he is a granparent himself spoils the grand kids like hell. My cousin is going to have a hard time with his kids once they become teens. There's Uncle Terry who was born after mom. He is one of those rich Uncles with a nice house, car and personality. Thanks to the contest you know who Uncle Tim is! Uncle Ted is the youngest of the family. Ever since he and his wife adopted kids the rest of the family is in the dark about seeing him and the kids. So now that is in the clear, lets begin the list of 7 things I hate about my relatives.

Sexist treatment of only sister and her family, by not visiting her family where they leave

Putting friends over family when vacationing at the local beaches where sister lives.

Misinformation given to the patriarch of the family then we get it

Snobby attitudes towards middle, middle class relatives or who don’t act rich

They don’t visit us, but we have to visit them for about an hour

We like to see my cousin play ball, even if he sucks.

We should hang out more when we visit you, other then just hanging out at the pool for a few hours and not see each other after that.

On the other hand, I have to credit them for without them I wouldn't have created this blog. I wouldn't be able to diss them for dissing us. I say it a fair game at this point, if they treated us differently, then things in this blog would've change.

We Didn't Start the Fire (Part 2)

Just a reminder, you could win $25 iTunes gift card just by calling my Uncle Tim and recording your funny, creative voice mail. Deadline is August 31 and all entries should be email to me. See previous post for details and back story behind this contest.

There is a song by Billy Joel from long ago (20 years to exact) called "We Didn't Start The Fire". If you haven't heard the song, just type the title in the search box on iTunes, Rhapsody or the Zune database and download it. If you have heard the song you know that he makes many historical references in this song. All can be found on Wikiapida once you get a hold of the lyrics online. A couple months ago I downloaded a greatest hits list compiled by an international music magazine, and "We Didn't Start The Fire" was on there. Mind you I did hear the song before, I just thought it be nice to have in on my Ipod. While I was listening to the song I kept thinking that there should be a part 2 to this song. Since it stop at the 1980s and it was written in 1989. The part 2 should have the decade of the 1990s to 2008 just in time for the election. Featuring well known events like Whitewater, Bush #2 and let not forget 9/11. So, for some stupid reason I decide to write a part 2 to the song just for this blog. Feel free to sing along to the song while your reading this.

So, what you think? Do you think you can make a better version of my part 2? Then why don't you write your own version along with you singing it on youtube for all to see. Lets compare notes and see if there is any other historical references I left out. The research for part 2 of this song was very hard, but thanks to I love the 90s.com and Wikipedia this whole thing would not have been possible.
