I am pretty comfortable in my own skin. I am still learning a lot about my self and trying to grow and become a better person. But it was during my travels to the great state of Illinois that I realized that I still have much work to do.
It is true that I really don't care where I lay my head down when I want to go to sleep and I would not try to inconvenience anyone for special accommodations. Last night as I lay my head down on the floor (which is fine) I realize that I am not snuggling next to my girlfriend. I am not curled up with my wife but I am the thirty-seven year old on the living room floor amongst all the other children tucked away in their Sponge Bob Sleeping bags.
I realized that I had been relegated to the kids table. Clearly this thirty-seven year old kid has some unfinished business to attend to.
My life is a never ending series of wondrous events most of which make me feel awkward and anxious. It has been a great ride and I would not change it for the world.

Of Weddings of Mass Destruction......
......As I sit here watching a new chapter of life unfold I can't help but think about the weddings we attended in our 20's. My circle was nothing if not beer swilling party animals hell bent on the discourteous destruction of property.....other peoples property.
I jettison ahead 15-20 years and I am watching these kids let their hair down in the wake of massive property destruction. Most of the people here were directly effected or is close friends with someone whose whole life was turned upside down by the fiendish work of tornadoes.

Don"t Be a Stranger....Don't Be Stranger?.....Could I Be Any Stranger?
Where is it that your support system can stand up and be recognized? Why is it that you can stick yourself out there and offer yourself up and in the end you are basking in the deep end of Eden's Irony Water park?
I tend to think of my social life as a series of intertwined circles where all my different groups of friends are on different circles and the common point is me. I know this plays right into the six degrees of separation theory but that's just how I see it.
The women that are on these circles (with few exceptions) that I have tried to form relationships with all seem to having one thing in common. They don't give a fuck about me. Even if they think or say they do they end up having the most obscure or sublime way of showing it.
I usually deal with like I do most other things and that is to find the humor in it. To add to them the list of characters out there on some intertwined circle that I can never seem to relate to but am always willing to help out.

I try to chock all this up as another learning experience and try not to harbor any Costanza like bitterness.

Maybe It Was Dr. Seuss
Today I learned a lot about the who I am.
Today I learned a lot about the what I am.
Today I learned a lot about the why I am.
The who I am is me.
The why I am is me.
The what I am is me.
It's not so easy being me.
I need to keep learning.
Keep taking charge.
I need to keep growing.
I need to become the who I want to be.

Moments of Growth Take Years of Evloution
A day of days.
A reckoning for certain.
If only there was scrutiny.
Reflections help clarify.
Open mind show reasons why.
Make the most of the opportunity.
Growth is right there for the taking.
Taking so long in the making.
Evolution can be painful.
When you're learning to be mind-full.
