The rantings of a man in training trying to understand the world around him that seems lost to the chaos of high school students.

The Odyssey

It will be an Odyssey, only this will not take quite as long, be near as life threatening, and I will not have to come home and defend my wife from potential suitors. But it will be a journey of epic proportions.

San Francisco, Santa Barbra, San Diego, the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe, Reno, in two weeks. It should be interesting. I am going to have to be on top of my not going to jail game because the guys that I am going with... well... could potentially be trouble, but the good kind of trouble. Not that there is a bad kind of trouble on a trip like this. But I would rather not call Brooke and have her fly down there to bail us out.

But what a way to start my 25th year. I only wish that David and Maurice could go, but, they have other responsibilities that they are attending to. Maybe some time when we are old and have boys of our own we will go cross country on a journey to help them into manhood. Just a thought though.

Wow twenty five. I guess I am supposed to be responsible by now. I think that for the most part I am responsible but I still think of myself as the kid. I mean I still want to play games like dodgeball, kickball, football, just for fun with the people around me. Currently there are only about two that would play, which makes for a boring game of anything. Who knows maybe I will get a girlfriend that doesn't throw like Brittany and does throw like Brooke, because the last, well all of them threw like Brittany. Honestly when I was a kid I thought that I would be married and had my three kids by now, like my parents did. Now being twenty-five I am amazed at what they did. Because while yes I probably could take care of them right now it would be tough, and I would have to give up quite a few things to make the ends meet. Or to make sure that we had meat.

Would the little kid like the person I am now? For the most part yes, two things no, but everything else would be alright.
