That is the question I asked myself when I realized that the end of the year was coming. Then again after 32 years of life I should know. But hey all things sneak up on you….
I usually wait until my birthday to reflect of the year and learn from my own mistakes. But I have a decade to think of now. Wonder what I learned? Here ya go…
1. High school is actually over and as hard as I try people I would see on a daily\weekly basis is not going to happen. That is until Facebook came around. I can see them but in a different sense.
2. Work? Yah that sucks ass. But now being a unfortunate evil I have to bear.
3. My parents made it look easy when it came to keeping a home up.
4. Sleeping until 2:00pm is out unless I have the flu and even then its still out.
5. Friends have come and gone over the years. Some I still value their friendship. Others have changed more then I ever could have imagined. Good and bad. Some are parents and some have moved away. I still call them friend just not the same way.
6. Kids have completely changed my outlook on every single thing in my life. Parents made it look easy and its not. Even a simple run to Turkey Hill is a project. But they have made me smile, laugh and cry in ways that I never thought I could and I would not trade that for the world. My daughters are my whole world now and of course their mother as well…
7. Quitting smoking is a cute New Years resolution like 7 times in a row. Now that I have actually completed it the challenge is to stay away. But I can’t see doing that ever again. I will be their to do cliche things with my kids no matter what.
8. That 2 weeks a year with my brother is no where near enough. When he is in town we go back to 10 and 15 year old kids. We bought Nerf guns this year for Xmas eve dinner. That says its all…
9. I have kept up my other resolution by trying new things food, experiences etc. Some I loved others not so much. But in the end I tried and that is what I want my girls to see. Although all we eat is chicken nuggets and fries. We will get passed that.
10. That I am getting older and can admit it. I cannot eat pizza at 3:00am and sleep through the night. Nah I get up twice a night to piss…
11. My understanding of women has actually gone up a notch in ten years. Figure by the time I die I might have a 1/4 percent of the things they do figured out.
12. I have noticed that some of the things my dad did when I was a kid I am doing now. I hated some of them and now I do them daily.
13. That bad luck can come to one and all no matter how lucky they are.
14. I will round this list out with my favorite. Don’t drink and drive I always use this at the end…
10 years all here? Nope. Just the points worth mentioning. More to come as I the 32 year old child heads for 33…..
Also my resolution this year will to finish what I start…
