The Aging Process.

It may be of little surprise to you that I enjoy reminiscing about anything and everything. I do, after all, have a diary don't I?

Well in any case, I do it a lot. I don't know what it is but I'm a real nostalgic (can you call yourself that?) and I like talking about the past. And I love to ask the peverbial "what if?" Well why all this talk? Get to the fucking point man.

Lindsey and I were talking about her roommate's birthday tomorrow. Then we started talking about our birthdays, and then it dawned on me. In less than four months I will no longer be a teenager. No longer a teenager? Whoa whoa whoa, when the hell did this happen?

Last time I checked I was excited at the fact that I was finally taller than the girls in my grade.

My voice was deeper than a girl's too.

I boasted about being a pre-teen, then a teenager.

I can fucking drive!!!

I can get into R-rated movies by myself!!! Not that anyone would want to go by themselves or anything, but yeah, I could if I wanted to.

I can vote..........and buy cigarettes/tobacco products, a lottery ticket, porn, etc...

And now? Where the hell has time gone? Some of my friends have known me since I was fourteen. FOURTEEN! Would this be considered as an early life crisis, if such things exist? I still have time to be a no-good little punk. Where'd my adolescence go? I want my adolescence!

That's not to say I've wasted my life though, no, not at all. I love my life, I love my family, and I love my friends. In fact, I hold my friends in extremely high esteem and hopefully most of them would me too, I would hope.

I guess I'm just a little shocked at the whole idea. I know I won't feel any different, or look any different, but it will be different. One more year after that till I'm 21. From what I hear that's a pretty decent age. I can only imagine the comments on that birthday.

"How old are you?"

"21."

"Oh-ho-ho! 21 aye?!?" "I bet they're gonna have to take your keys tonight!!!"

"21?!?!" Watch out for this guy, if you know what I mean..."

"Alright! Party time, woohoo!!!"

"Here, let me buy you a drink!" (14 times)

Wait, that one's not so bad.

Whatever, I'm old.

Me & POPS

This was taken last year on my first day back from tour. I'm the orange one. I think this is one of the best pictures of my dad and I ever taken.

Another one from last year, this one was taken on Finals Day. Ah, Finals...We were huge. Don't mess with this euph line. Neil's the idiot with his horn in front of his face.

Alright, one from this season. This John Jennings taken at the last supper. He had his head on the table, I had my camera on the table. The outcome was the picture you just saw.
