Brother!!

Loving it, my brother just woke up at 2am! He was asleep for the whole day!

Brother!

Getting really pissed off with him, he just sits around all day doing nothing but playing facebook games. Actually he sits around all night as he only wakes up at 7pm! He also has the TV really loud for some reason tonight (it's 3am now!)

Annoying Brother

I'm getting quite annoyed "talking" with my brother (I emphasize on the inverted commars as talking sounds like being lectured with him). He has been trying to undermine my personality and intelligence for the last half an hour making him sound like the one who's always right. He was lecturing me about how I talk and use sarcasm when he's the one who needs lessons on how he talks as he alienates people and makes other people feel and sound stupid. What frightens me is his general inability to trust anyone or thing to the point that I'm worried he's schizophrenic. I try to sympathise with him but sometimes he's just so annoying. He's also extremely clever at instigating an argument but most of the time he's making a mountain out of a molehill by developing on the argument with very shallow explanations or evidence. If his "explanation/evidence" fails he begins to go in protective mode and starts trying to undermine the other person's intelligence or by forgetting what the other person just said. But what makes him even more clever is he never seems to lose an argument. He knows when to stop an argument or start to add humour so that it stops, therefore neither side wins or loses. On other occasions he manages to make himself sound correct by using the "I said it so many times so it must be right" technique. I just don't need this at 2am when I'm trying to finish my homework!

NOISE

I'd promised a lot more personal posts in this new blog but as of now I don't think I've delivered in that perspective. After watching The Apprentice I found myself in a mist of an argument, my brother had come back. It was quite a weird stance taken by the two, my brother was sitting on the staircase whilst my dad was preaching to him in the hallway with the lights turned on. Trying to disconnect myself from this tirade I went straight to the computer. I never like it when my brother argues with my dad, I'm sure not many of you do (unless it's in your own sinister ways!) but I just find the arguments rude and unnecessary. I think this argument sparked off from my brother walking home from Mitcham; more than a 14 mile walk and from the times he stated it took him about 10 hours (though he did do other things in between). My dad in my opinion overreacted due to the negativity he had towards my brother in general but I also think he felt ashamed that my brother couldn't go and ask him for help or in fact get a bus! Once the argument starts it just becomes the same thing again, the details of their argument is just the same whether it be for any differing reason. I just find this wholly unnecessary and as a third person I try my best to educate both of them about the others personality. To you it might sound like a petty squabble but trust me, it isn't! It's just the tip of the iceberg to the problems my dad and my brother have with each other - it's obvious they still care for each other but they just can't express it in the right way because they're just way too stubborn.
I think I've gone on a bit but hopefully this will allow you to know more about me as I think it's important for me to have a place where I can write about my emotions so I can reflect on them and I guess have someone to talk to; even if it is just a few.
