..Being that I changed school districts after the 8th grade, I was fairly subdued and quiet through at least the first half of my freshman year. I remember how fucked up it used to be not knowing anybody in any of my classes, you know, everybody else is yappin away and I'm just sitting there all fucking alone as the new guy. Those were times I .wished I had actually continued going to the high school in my district, a school that was nearly a mile and a half further away than my new school. Anyway, no regrets, I made lots & lots of pals along the way.
..Up to the time I got my drivers lic., my buds and I were mountain bike terrorists, there was about a dozen or maybe fifteen of us all told. Often times on weekends, about five or six of us on average would get all of our money together and ride our bikes to the parking lot of one of the many local liquor stores and ''shoulder tap'' people to buy us a case of beer, the rejection rate was about 2:3, not bad. When we finally got our beer we'd head over to one of the many parks to guzzle the beer down and maybe smoke a joint or two. Better, if we were lucky, one of our parents would be out of town and we'd end up partying at a house and cranking up the volume on some music until about 11:45PM as I usually had to be home by midnight.
..Cutting to the chase, I averaged a 2.9ish (what is that, a B- average give or take) through my four years in high school, the teachers all said I could've done much better if I had only applied myself and paid better attention in class, but who's going to tell a headstrong teen what he should be doing differently, of course I rebelled.
..Finally, I was on the varsity baseball team and wrestling teams, the wrestling team for three years and the baseball team for two being that I more or less red shirted in my sophomore year.
..After h.s. I was off to my local jr. college where I earned an associates degree while still living under mom and dad's roof. JC would have been a total waste of time had it not been for all of the cool girls I dated over the two short years. :drool:
..After JC it's been all work, building houses and such.
..Advice for those of you in your early twenties who still don't have a career or two in mind... I don't know how to say this as effectively as you need to fully understand it, you're not forever young and immortal, get career oriented and determine what the fuck you're going to do as a profession by no later than next week!
Really, don't procrastinate, you'll be 30 years old before you know it and 40 years old even quicker than that. Time accelerates immensely as you get older, it's shocking! I mention this because I have a few long time friends who never got their shit together and they're hurting pretty bad today.
