That Whole Age Thing

   Today is a very special day! One of my best friends, Ol Tyson Riding, since 7th grade in Lungo's class is getting married to what seems to be his perfect match. Even MORE awesome is that another one of my best friends is getting married at the end of this month (that one I called since the 8th grade so no surprise). This whole subject kind of freaks me out a little cause ya know what... Were growing up. Yes I said it even me the kid with his foot into everything. Now this has been a continuous revelation of mine for honestly the last 3 years. (Its kinda like that song... "I thought I loved you then", except its more like "I thought I grew up then"). Ya strange thought process I know but hey its just what I do. Ok so the most current revelation came on from many more things other then the whole marriage thing.

Take this one as a slap in the face:

 In less the 2 months... I would say thats like going from 18 years of age to 30 in no time flat... Zing! Haha no but really if you think about it its like I am aging like 1.5 years per week... WOOF and its even more wild when you think of it the other way when shaving it off... turn on the razor and poof 12 years younger. All in all this is I would say something that I take pride in BUT for the last say 4 months I have not been clean shaven and I was sporting a pretty solid beard. Even asked some girls last night how old I thought I looked and they spotted me at 24. I was happy about this cause ya know what sometimes its nice to look and present as older.

TANGENT

MY Mind and I believe the minds of most others.

Looking older = Wiser, More Respect from People in Power Positions, The Ability to Portray a General Understanding of the World, More Respect.... and ya...

Now I am talking about looking older then 20 and under say 65 or so. I am talking in LOOKS as well! SO anyone who is like *STUPID KID I am 68 and I am wiser and have more respect then you do!* Well your probably 68 and look like your 40 so no worries! And the fact that there are some 40 year old people that look like they should be dead... so Ya ;) Plus the way my age correlates with my beard I figure I could "Gain Respect" up until about a year of growth... then they would be asking me for my Senior Citizen card at the movie theater and telling me that my date is too young for me.

ANYWAYS

    Today I shaved for the first time leaving just a little soul patch to put at least a year on me and keep me from looking like a high school student again all in the name of Marrage. I hope I look Dang Good tonight cause if not (   :(>!!! <- soul patch ) SAD DAY! Its all good it will be back soon enough! :)>

   Other things are well friends are getting home from missions, all the good lookin girls who are potentially marrage status are leaving on their missions!! (Which is a whole nother tanget I have), and well friends and brothers are starting their own families... Heck I have a Niece (which is cuter then your niece) (I have proof)

Told ya...

So there is a much larger story that goes all along with this story but I guess you will be able to connect em all I would say in about a year or so when I actually have a little library of my life on here. Its time for the wedding to take place... Heres to Tyrone and Michelle Riding!

Pics to come!!! :)>
