Recently I was in a wedding.  One of my best friends married his high school sweetheart, I lived with them all through college and couldn’t be happier.  My mother recently sent this picture to me, I couldn’t believe it, but it’s him and I performing during a first grade assembly.  How appropriate.

My sophomore year in college I went on a little road trip to San Francisco with my roommates. The purpose of the trip: The Red Bull Flugtag, a Red Bull sponsored PR event that involves teams creating unique flying machines then pushing them off a dock 40′ high. They aren’t the most thrilling shows in the world, especially hopped up on 14 Red Bulls (which remove your peripheral vision and make you kinda jumpy). The after-parties are insane though, especially hopped up on 14 Red Bull + Vodkas. I’ve been lucky enough to attend a couple of these, and actually participated in the Portland version.

I remember seeing this happen and thinking “that HAD to have hurt”… You be the judge:

What a line. Especially when you are referring to a girl’s age. A friend of mine that lives in California told me this while trying to justify dating girls that are 17 and 18. This wouldn’t be a big deal if he wasn’t a decade older than them, making the term “barely legal” more appropriate than I’d like.

A humorous anecdote about the friend the explained this new theory to-

One evening we were out at Betty Ford here in Portland, and unbeknownst to me my friend was already plowed before we arrived.  Upon slugging two vodkas, he decided it was socially acceptable to start slapping girls at the bar.  I realized what he was doing after the third shocked/upset looking girl walked away from him.  Well done, john-boy.

I am always amazed at how much can come from so little.  How fun can be born from boredom.  Admittedly, I missed my dentist appointment, and Dr. Hagler is going to kill me, but it was well worth it.  My corner of freedom is in my ability to control my attitude, and I plan to use it.  I am happy as a clam having the day off and enjoying the sunshine.  Laying out with friends, no plans, no worries.  Just enjoying the day.  It has become so rare in my life, I have learned to appreciate these days when they come around.  The sunshine beckons…
