heyy

tonight i watched wedding crashers, and holy shit!!!the whole 2 hours of that movie i could not stop laughing that shit was the funnist shit have seen in a long freaking time......just watch it..........so heres what i typed tonight..this is for my parents so they can understand where im coming from because i feel that they dont even know who the fuck jay is anymore.but im still going to write more later its kinda like 230 in the morning and i kinda work at 9 thats in just a few hours golly!
To my dear mother and father:

As you both know that I am getting a little bit older and perhaps a bit wiser as the years progress and none of us in this world are getting younger. Anyways you might be wondering why I might be writing a letter to my own parents when I can just go and talk to the both of you. The thing is, you don’t listen to your own son. I know that might sound a bit harsh but its true. All you do is shrug your shoulders and don’t bother what the hell I just said 5 minutes ago. So that’s why im taking the time to write this and hopefully what I will begin to say will really make you understand what im trying to get my point across.

Education for one is the only way to succeed in life. As the saying says “the pen is mightier than the sword” I have in my mind a very successful student coming from two loving parents who were there for me every step of the way and I thank you for everything you have done. From taking me to karate lessons, piano lessons or sports activities you were there. Family bonds are strong in the Escaran Residence so lets please keep it like that for the rest of our lives and for more lives to come. Maybe this letter to you is just another way for Jay to suck up so he can get what he wants…see that’s what you might be saying right now in your head “this is just a letter so jay can go to college where he really wants to go.” That’s why I don’t bother doing anything anymore… I never get the chance to make my own mistakes except the one where I should have given you the trust so I can study abroad. All you think is I am some party animal that one day ill mess up so big that I will get married before I reach 25 and all you worry about is me not finishing...you want me to become a nurse..thats a good position, but not every 10 billion people in this world will become a nurse. I don’t understand you, you tell me to become a nurse, but in reality who is going to live the life of Jay Escaran? ME! Not you, I appreciate the input but I want to do things my way with your support behind me. I know I cant stand on my own 2 feet, but it will be one hell of a try. What is 3-4 years of you life? Its practically nothing, that’s exactly what im trying to get across, it be nice to become a nurse is just that I don’t think I can do it here, there is to much going on around me in West Palm Beach that is making me get sidetracked all the time. And its not helping me a lot when you compare me to other kids my age. For example “ oh see look at him , he graduated top in his class, or look at him now, hes a nurse at 21”it seems that you care more about their lives then mine, you just like what their have accomplished because I think you are ashamed of your own 2 sons..so what if we are not the top graduating students, or going to yale or Georgia tech and making 18501285217507120 dollars a year. I really don’t care about them, congratulations on their accomplishments but It be nice to focus whats in front of you once in a while. Perhaps oneday you can say, see I let him go to the school he wanted and now he is the top nurse,business man ever.He knows how to run his life. That’s what I like to hear from my own mother and father one day. To be proud of me..not someone elses kids.

What ever...

Jay... why do you even need them? you said it your self... this is Jay Escaran's life not mom and dad. If your parents say stop and no... why do you listen?

Are you scared to take situations into your own hands? do you need mom and dads approval?

I’ve been reading you for a while... and all can say is... their not going to change.

I’m not telling you to run away... I’m suggesting that you start taking matters into your own hands.

From what i can see... they love you way too much. They don’t want to see you get hurt... and that is causing you more harm then anything else. Its totally normal every loving mother and father do the same thing in one way or another. This letter you just wrote was a waist of your time. Time that could of been used doing something productive.

Do you understand what I’m saying? Do what you got to do and let nothing stop you… and make sure what ever it is you want to do isn’t something stupid… you know… like moving across the world for some chick. That’s, like the biggest “No”. but, I guess you should learn that on your own.

Good luck Jay… you most definitely are the same kid I knew in middle school… I really don’t know if that a good or bad thing.

But, what do I know… I’m only 19.

hey man, thanks for you input, but i think it is time for me to do something for my self..but would like to have my parents still on my side...for some reasons and the top reason is money. i really dont have money and when i find a job i wont go to school, its like i can do only one thing at a time. anyways..i just want to be happy for myself first then make my parents proud...the letter wasnt really a waste of time i think it was late at night and i dont think i could have done anything else because i could not sleep until i wrote what i thought what needed to be said.

but yeah..im not doing anything stupid...i wanted to go to college there ever since i was a junior in high school, i had no feelings of staying here, this place is just not for me (school wise) i really just want to learn more about myslef and the whole filipino culture and why i am like this. IM not moving there for just a girl man. before i met her i had my heart set out in moving there for the next few years of my life. then come back here to work.

over here in florida..theres just to much things i get side tracked.i hate it.

but im just 19 still kinda young to act like im some big guy with a degree behind my back and not tell mommy and daddy what im doing next..but for now im just a kid. i still kinda need them, not as much as before..but still need them.

yo man. when u comin 2 fl. i might go up to ny for a weekend or something.

peace
