The Number 23

If you would have asked me 3 years ago where I saw myself in 3 years, there's no way I would have thought I would be sitting here.

Today, the 19th, was my birthday and I turned 23 years old.  I never really saw myself as some 23 year old billionaire or anything crazy like that, but I definitely didn't see myself in my current position.

I am 23, single, still in school, no idea if I will even find a job in my field when I do graduate, and just unsure of life in general.  I have confidence that I will end up where I'm supposed to be eventually, but life is not coming along as quickly as I hoped.

I'm not saying I'm in any hurry to have a stable job and family, but I envisioned I would have both by now.

Maybe I'm just a little down, but having turned 23 and spending most of the day by myself makes a guy think about what he wants in life, or what he doesn't have in life for that matter.

Anyways, happy birthday to me and all others that share this date.  Until next time, party like it's 1999.

Surgery Update

I finally had surgery on my knee yesterday at about 6:00 am.  After I arrived, they got my ready to roll, put me to sleep, and when I woke up, I was about ready to walk out the door.  Yesterday was a cake walk compared to today.  Yesterday, even though my knee was sore, I was pumped full of drugs and had a direct shot of Novocaine in my knee.  Today, on the other hand, is an entirely different story.  I woke up around 2:30 this morning to some soreness, but nothing compared to now.  When I actually woke up at about 7:30, I could barely move, and even now, with hydros in my system, I'm sore as all hell. 

Hopefully everything heals up faster then expected. I don't really like laying around doing nothing.  

Summertime

I think it's safe to say summer if finally here!

I've seen a bunch of posts and other things about "Summer Bucket Lists" and such.  Sure, there are things I want to accomplish this summer, but mostly, I want a little summer romance.  I've been single now for about 9 months and to be completely honest, I'm over being single.  Being single is a good novelty for awhile, but it's gotten to the point where I want nothing more than to be able to kiss someone goodnight and cuddle up to them and go to sleep.  I'm not saying I'm going to just settle down with the next woman that walks through my door, but I'm almost 23 and I'm ready for a steady relationship and a "marriage" type.  Maybe that sounds weird, but I've been in relationships pretty steady since I was about 15 and they never quite work out so I'm ready to settle down.  I'm ready for "the one".  Yeah, that didn't really help the whole "weird" vibe, but I speak the truth and that's what I'm giving you.

In the meantime, I just want to have fun this summer.  Maybe the perfect woman for me will just fall into my arms.

For now, I shall sleep, because I'm ridiculously tired.  I hope everyone has a great summer and until next time, don't drink the pool water.

People

You know, I never really had a problem with people until the last few years.  When I was younger and throughout high school, I could get along with just about anyone.  Now, I cannot stand half of the people I encounter on a daily basis.  I don't know what it is, I'm getting older and tolerate less, or people are just getting more stupid.  I feel as though people are getting more stupid though.

The downfall of my generation and the generation after is absolutely remarkable.  It's like people devolved into mindless morons. You can blame whatever you want on this devolution, because I don't know for sure what the cause is, I just know it is happening.  People are getting dumber by the second.

Anyway, that was just my mini-rant on people because I'm sick of them. Have a fabulous day.
