@holoz0r great post mate . Sorry to hear about your father’s passing . He was still very young at the time and it’s pissing off learning about how some people were closer to him than you . My father too is a generation passed who wouldn’t even know what class in school I was in. I think the entire generation whether it is Greek or Irish were all kind of odd in a way. My father was the youngest of 7 and he told me that the second youngest didn’t talk to him until he was 24. He asked him to be his best man and they are great ever since . My father asked him why he never spoke to him when they were children and Paddy just said he didn’t like not being the youngest anymore . Pack of weirdos . Like you I have my problems with the father . The only way we seemed to connect was through football which is why I am fascinated by football. My date was much more of a social butterfly than me and he can read a person very well. Surprisingly well actually but I too didn’t think I was first on his list of priorities . It’s kinda hard to swallow . Great to share . I think me and you are cut from the same cloth in a way and that’s why this fucking place put us together .
There's one element of religion that I respect, and that's the statement that "All men are brothers", and I definitely feel it with ya, particularly through our recent interactions.
Sorry to hear about your disheveled experience of being a son. I know that as a result of that experience, you'll be a good father to your kids. It just isn't an option not to be. I have never wanted kids, but that's not due to my child hood, its due to how fucked the planet is, but that's a story for another time.
The photo of me and my dad was from a road trip - the first thing we did together (and the closest thing we did together) as me being a "near adult". I remember us swapping CDs in the car, and bonding on the 6+ hour drive to a caravan park on a humid riverside tourist place.
I'd put Metallica in, and he'd complaint they were just copying deep purple. Then we'd play Deep Purple, and find common ground over Pink Floyd, then he wanted to listen to Dire Straits. After that, I don't remember.
Well one thing for sure. He's musical taste was better than yours. He won't be turning in his grave at Florence. 🤣
Absolutely, I definitely favoured his collection of vinyl and tapes over my Mother's.
