When you grew up....Adam
I figured it was time for me to ring in on the subject.....I know everyone has been waiting to hear what I have to say so here you go.....
1 - How many of you are actually happy with your current working situation?
happy yes, can I find something to bitch about YES.....like the fact I have not got a paycheck going on 8 weeks.....but hey this is what you get when you stay up drinking till 3am with Whitt and Dave (who by the way 1 has had more jobs than all over us and 1 I'm pretty sure does not even want a job....) and choose a new career path.
2- How does your current job differ from what you thought grown up life would be like?
well considering I did not know nor do I think mortgage brokers even existed when I was growing up this is a lot different. and as far ass grow up life is concerned, I used to think 35 was OLD and you had babies when a man and woman went to sleep in the same bed.....so needless to say I had not a clue of what 'grow up' life would be like.
3-What did you want to be when you were growing up?
the same thing everybody else wanted to be.....a super hero or a porn star. it was a toss up, I was thinking I could be both.....you know, and call my self Orgasmo or something cool like that. no really, I wanted to play football in the NFL. I mean as a kid all I did was play sports and pick my nose.....I knew that would never turn into a job.....
4- Or is all this job bullshit a normal part of getting older and more mature?
I think to say "NORMAL" in our group is a little bit of a stretch....there is nothing normal about it. I knew growing up I would have to get a job and do something, just thought it would be more fun.....I think life in general comes with it's on bullshit and problems, it just depends on who you deal with it to how you survive. If I may quote one of the greats...."If you take life to serious....you will never make it out alive"......Van Wilder (great movie by the way). The whole maturity thing, I'm still working on that......Life is all what we make of it and after being to other countries like India, I will not complain. I've seen good and I've seen bad....and we as a group have gone through a lot of those time together and I for one would not change any of those things for nothing (well maybe one night with Maressa, but hey you guys would to). To be serious you guys all know my parents and their friends (you know us in 20 years) and I think it was 9th grade I got in a pretty big fight with my best friend Kelly Sain and said I was through with him.....my mom picked me up from football practice and on the way home I told here about the fight and that I would not be his friend any more......now what she said next you will not believe but I swear she said it.....she looked at me and said....."Adam, life is pretty tough and no fun if you go it alone, you are at the time in your life when these friends will not all mean something down the road. After high school you will only be close with 4 or 5 of these people and you better chose the right ones, but when you go to college you will meet all new people and friends and those will probably be the friends you will want for the rest of your life and probably the girl you will marry.....then and only then will you be happy." I guess 1 out of 2 was not bad......Hope you guys enjoy the stories.....
All I know is, that growing up, I wanted to be spiderman. Now let's keep in mind that the possibility of getting bitten by a radioactive spider is slim, not to mention the fact that the only result would be a big ass spider bite and no super powers. Unless you call a giant cancerous spider bite "super". (by the way, keep that dream a live.....my brother got bit by a spider one time.....although all he did was go the hospital and get real swolled up and sick.....mom got real mad at me because I went out on a date and left him home alone.....they were at the beach and he actually had to call Chris' mom to take him to the hospital......oh, good times.....) ¶ 10:17 AM
