What I Want To Be When I Grow Up
I keep reminding myself that this is it. Seems like it has just hit me over the last couple weeks. I guess ....this is the adult part of my life. I am grown now. There is no "when I grow up" left. Life is right now. Ok, I said it. That sounds absolutely stupid and rather silly for a person that is in their 30's in the adult world but that is kinda how I feel. So is there some big revelation that comes with this new feeling? No, not at all. Maybe it is just that I noticed "the clock on the wall."
I will always be a big kid that love games, corny jokes and being silly but that is something different. The responsibility stuff stays right in my face now. There are consequences. There are emotions. There are obligations. Most of all, there is no way to put it off or delay it as time is slipping away. This is no pity party is just kind of a "Damn I am grown up..........no, really, I am grown up!" I know it makes no sense to say that at the age of 37 but that is what it has felt like the last couple of weeks.
I think in some way this is all because of the fact that I have found my self examining the things I do and my surroundings.
My job
My family
My faith
Working with the kids at TCH
My friends
Skydiving
My home
My goals
Being single
My drive and work ethic
How I choose to spend my free time
How I feel
My simple joys like cooking
My health
All these things have been swirling around me causing some pause. Maybe this is just a pause.
And what's for dinner?
Lamb chops over shallot tarragon sauce
with mushroom risotto

Me thinks you need a break from your brain. I just took one...did wonders. Perhaps throw a deck of cards on the floor; let the cards fall where they may. Freddy says...
"Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand" ~Homer J. Simpson
Hate to be quoting that...but try understanding w/o all the caring. It can be very entertaining.
Dinner looks "guuuuuuud."
Since the quotes have been broken out...
“Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans”. John Lennon
If memory serves a very wise man and I agreed on New Year's Eve, it isn't where you are but who you are with. That kinda fits while you are busy making other plans.
Pausing is good.
From everything I've read about you-I think you have a great life.
I can't believe you cook like that. I'm impressed!
Would a bike with a bell help?
No worries lad. Life is what you make of it. Bottom line, you're a great bloke, a definite cut above the rest.
Now, about dinner....when are you coming back up to Mackatuchetts? I know a few places that the misses and I would like to take you too. If you'd grace us that is.
Cheers!
