Hey crazy cats! It's another day here in sunny (soon to be oil-soaked) Florida. The weekend is here and I, for one, need the rest. I've been working quite a bit lately. I'm not complaining about it. It's just nice to have a day of relaxation now and then.
Yesterday, I was treated to a nice event. A family member of mine graduated high school. It was held at the university's stadium across the street from where I work. As sson as I got there, I knew we were all in for a trial in patience like no other. Now, it wasn't the fact that we stood in line for 45 minutes just to get in. It wasn't the fact that they were selling bottled water for $4 (Holy Moses in lower rider jeans!)! it wasn't the fact that we were all sweating like Lindsey Lohan taking a breatherlizer test. It was the fact that the ceremony was slated to start at 3 pm and they had 631 to graduate! It was like the entire State of Florida was graduating! To make things worse, they were calling them off one by one! However, it was a very nice graduation.
As we left the stadium, I feeling came over me. I didn't know quite what it was. I was slowly sneaking up on me. Then, without warning, it attacked. It was the realization that I'm getting old! I'm no longer one of those guys! It's time to face the music. My greys are there for a reason.
When these kids were born, I was watching "In Living Color" on the newly launched Fox Channel! Oh my God, I thought. These kids never knew what it was like to live without cable, or the cell phone, or even the microwave! The only way they know about "The A-Team" is because of re-runs.
It's kind of funny. I still don't have kids. I haven't really figured everything out yet. To some, I'm not mature enough. However, I don't care. I love who I am. i have enjoyed my life thus far and will continue to do so.
Life is beautiful. It is up to us to make the best of it. Whether it be making millions on Wall Street or just enjoying the subtle things in life, we are what we make of it. I believe that every moment is worth our 100%.
So, after that long graduation, the incredibly long and iritating drive home, picture taking, and feeling all old I feel like I've done quite a bit. Do I have some regrets? Yeah, but just a few. My life isn't perfect, but it's the perfect life!
Ok folks, calling this one cut and capped! Keep safe and dream big!
