As a teenager I was pretty nice and respectful. I've grown into this immaturity.
I blame my kids. They bring me down to their level.
I blame the wife. I unknowingly reverted back when I was no longer able to make my own decisions.
I bought an economy ticket and upgraded it to first class using airline miles. The price difference between doing Honolulu instead of Maui was about $800 and they didn't have upgrade fares available anyway for Maui
I'd like to say this is true for me but my kids are more mature than I am.
This makes some sense.
Sometimes I can make my own decisions but only when my wife doesn't want to make a decision and then she can blame me when she doesn't like the outcome.
My youngest will soon be bringing home a potato baby for her family and consumer science class.
I remember those classes, especially the first one. It was a full and large room, and the instructor made us go around and introduce ourselves. The wife couldn't make it so I'm an expecting father that has to mention that the mom couldn't make it. The instructor paused and made a big deal out of all the years she had lead the class, she had never had a father show up without the mother. Kept going off, I kinda wanted to slip under the table.
I love when she can't make up her mind so I make the decision and as soon as I say it, I'm told no, that is wrong. Unbeknownst to me, she had made her mind up and just didnt want to tell me.
I'll say this; I've had my fair share of #loveisntreal moments. I've only had one girlfriend; we dated for 3 years and then she broke up with me over the phone with zero warning. Total slap in the face. But, I can see that it was for the best now. She's happily engaged to a great guy and there are things I've had the opportunity to do in my life that I might not have if we were still dating. Like Woo said, I'm an optimist (sometimes to a fault) and I'm the king of just going with the flow (again sometimes to a fault) because I believe that no matter what there's always good that can come out of any situation. So if I meet my wife while I'm still in college then great! If not, I'll just know it wasn't meant to be and either someone is still out there or I'll have opportunities to fill that part of my life with something else that's just as fulfilling.
You live across town from Sean Connery!?
new guy, I like him. Let's keep him.
Also, is your name because you run? Maybe I asked this before. Every time I see your name though, I think of the move in my TurboKick class.
You and Woo have such mature and refreshing attitudes for people your age. It's great to hear.
But just wait until you've been dragged down by 10-20 years of marriage and kids and you revert to being 14 again.
Holy crap. My 20th anniversary is coming up in less than 2 weeks. She's more beautiful and likable than the day I met her and she's putting up with a bald 14 year-old that makes all bad decisions.
Hang around Pants more and you'll become jaded soon enough
Mandatory training that we will be scheduled for sometime next month. I feel like they could have picked a better time than the month full of holidays, school breaks, and the year end for using up vacation time that we lose if unused. Hell, I think I'm only in the office like 11 of the workdays.
When it comes to marriage, a friend of mine says it best. Those 20 years of marriage feel like 20 seconds.......................................................of someone holding your head under the water.
