Ahem...
Happy Birthday Brian Dundon. Though you may have somewhat forgotten your best friend and found replacements (Jimmy,chris,steve,john,greg,bob,evan,tim,and whoever else is involved in those non-sensical "freshman have to swim in the pond" stories... You're still my older little brother. Hopefully we can get togeather some time today and have some cake. Much love and congrats on being 19. EEEK, Im only 3 weeks away!
Now on another note-
I've decided I want to go to school. err *edit... I don't want to work with my dad. Those who think I get off easy by working with him have the wrong impression of what I do, and who he is. By not going to school,I just feel like I'm missing out on a big part of my life, and I'm too young to be this stressed out and commuting some days up to 3 HOURS. For you people that went to college... did/do you know what you want to do? And if not, what did you go into? How did you decide what school to go to? I think I will continue to work here while I can stand it, this in itself is a great education...but I don't know if this is what I want to do... I feel like maybe I'm closing doors to my potential. I see my father and how stressed he is, and how he doesn't see his friends anymore... And his whole life revolves around work. But maybe thats what happens when you're 48. But working under this man is absolutly brutal. I'm going to start looking at schools for real this time. It's about time I started acting responsible, and I need to find my own path in life, even if the one I have practically been handed is one people would kill for. It's not me...it's not what I want to do, I don't want to end up like my father. Don't get me wrong he is an awesome dad. But I just can't see myself being the way he is.
Hopefully I can have a good conversation with mom about this and not have it end up like it did on my birthday last year. I need some feedback on this, all comments are welcome.
