let me be the one who calls you baby all the time

have you heard that song? it's beautiful... anyway... what to report today? nothing, really, except that my friend whitney's dad came home from his three month tour in iraq today. it was a terribly stressful thing for her and her family to go through, so i'm happy beyond words that he's home safe. what else...? today, in senior sociology, we talked about adulthood and old age (as part of our psychology unit). my friend jonathan and i had a depressing talk about growing old and how we aren't looking forward to the changes it brings. when i look back at that conversation and everything that we said, it really is a scary thing to think about...i mean, having kids, your own house and taking on the responsibilties you were so used to leaving with your parents...it makes me feel really inadequate, like there's no chance in hell i'm going to be able to handle all of the new pressures that i'm going to get. and then he had to break out the comment of 'what if it turns out i can't have kids?' that's all too realistic and frightening in and of itself as far as i'm concerned. sheesh. life kinda sucks. but whatever. there was funny talk amongst some chums of mine after band: me: i don't think i can say that, even to megan. it's too awkward. danny: you can never be too awkward. me: good point, son. hey, megan! i want you to bite me until i bleed. megan: no, i leave that honor for greg. only. greg. danny: maybe i was wrong... as i've said before, and will say again... midwestern kids wrote the book on awkward. it's what we're good for. laterrr homies.
