[ Endeavors in Adulthood... Really Adult? Dang. ]
BREAKING NEWS!
We interrupt your normal blog reading with the following news that is just breaking: Justin is now an adult!!! Repeat: Justin is now an adult! Upon realizing this, he has reverted to a childlike mentality, and has locked himself in his room; listening to many songs from the 80's.
Back to your regular reading...
When the hell did this happen?! Was the sandman secretly stealing years from me as I lay defenseless before his power? (how dare you sandman! I shake my fist at you!)
So vivid are the memories of my first school dance, my first phone call to a girl, and the subsequent feeling of the awkwardness of that particular conversation.
I feel like I started college yesterday. I met melody yesterday! Yesterday, literally, I realized that my best friend had gained that position over 8 years ago! Not only have I a horrible sense of time, but I'm OLD!
This past weekend, I was in Oakland for a celebration dinner thrown for my friends Henry and Christie. I have had the pleasure of knowing them, their entire relationship. As I met more and more family members; I began to find myself answering the same questions: where are you working? How long have you been there? When did you graduate? When are you going to get a real job?
I engaged in conversation with my friend Tara, and heard her talk about how she trudged through the last year (kickin' and screamin') to realize that it was necessary to set up this year and where she was going now. She just got a great job, and is set to start being self sufficient. My parents disowned me financially when I was 19. I did realize that I've been stuck at my college job for a while. Tara helped me to se that I was stuck in my development time...
Time to get a grown up job!
I'm approaching my 27th year. (The old cuteness is tired action by now.) Not only do I have to get over my toys r us mentality (never wanted to grow up) but I have to face this economy head on...
Wish me luck!
I'm out...
