mormat.

So i recieved some VERY disturbing news today. i am in fact related to joseph smith. yes THE joseph smith, the fucking weirdo who started up mormonism. More so, i am related to his cousin...but when you get down to it there is a small part of me related to the big man himself. i called my dad today to ask him if i was irish *the answer is, no*..but this of course sparked a full blown conversation, all on my father's behalf -> i was more into listening. So on my dad's side of whiteness, there are three last names that i am aware of. Apperson, Wood, and Smith. Now the Smith side is from Missouri and all of those states somewhere in the middle. i guess my dad was at a family function a month ago and they brought up good 'ol George A. Smith, cousin to Joseph Smith and one of the founders of mormonism. Turns out he was my dad's grandma's grandfather. Gross. i'm realted to someone who had a hand in building one of this nation's biggest cult-like religions. To make matters slightly more creepy. George A. Smith's birthday is June 26th...and so is mine. In case you don't believe me... check it out.
