2nd Childhood a.k.a COM Disorder

    Before I go into the latest topic, let me apologize to the readers.  When I started doing this blog, I  advised everyone that I would keep it as light as possible.  Lately, I've been getting a little bit too serious. I reread "Sucka Bet," and it made me say "Sheesh!!" That was a little too harsh.  I will do what I can to keep it light.  My blog is designed to be a getaway from the stress and ridiculousness of life, not some moron griping about the sucktitude of marriage (made up a new word and I dont care)! I promise to go back to having a good time.  Now that this is taken care of, I do have to talk about something VERY serious. -____-
    It is a must that I address this serious illness that I have been struck with.  Ive tried different remedies to cure myself of this terrible disease.  But I feel like it is taking over my mind, body and soul.  It is called C.O.M. Disorder. COM, of course, is short for Creepy Old Man.  It affects millions of men over the age of 30, causing them to dye their hair, wear clothes that make young children throw up, and spend money they don't have, all for the affections of a woman between the ages of 21-25. I admit it!! I got caught up!!
    I recently had a string of dates where the average age of the females was 23.  I will not lie; They were all a blast.  Without being too graphic, I will say that a lot less work was required to reach the "happy ending", if ya catch my drift. (HEHEH....OK That was creepy!!)  But it made me wonder if I am taking this 2nd childhood thing a little too far.  If you asked my sisters, they would say, "Yes, Graybeard!! Find someone your own age!" My boys would say,"Age ain't nothing but a number, Pimpin!!" (Swag) I look at it like this: When I decided to go back to school, I told myself that I would make up for lost time and use all available resources to make my college experience a memorable one. From practicing with the newly formed football team (and throwing my back out in the process) to attending philosophy lectures (I officially hate pony-tail-liberal-with-the-suit-jacket-over-the-T-Shirt guy), I was going to make the most of it. If this puts me in the Creepy Old Man bracket, so be it.  If you see me hanging with Old-Man-At-The-Club Guy or Hawaiian-Shirt-to-Hide-My-Gray-Chest-Hair-and-Beer-Gut-Guy, don't laugh at us, salute us!!! Of course, if you see Hang-out-at-the-Park-wearing-Nothing-But-a-Trench-Coat Guy, kick him in the nuts and call the cops!! I'm not chilling with that dude!!!
     The moral to this Blog is this: Don't let your age stop you from changing your life and this world. If you don't understand the concept of a 2nd childhood, Click the link: http://youtu.be/vH847J8htcI

Nerd Alert

    I haven't had a whole lot to blog about lately because, well, life is boring right now.  This is intentional as I had to slow down the craziness that represents me in order to become as successful as I want to be.  I don't know many people who actually sat down and said, "I Love Accounting with a Passion!!" That's me!! I think I will part my hair down the middle, rock some high water khakis with the pocket protector and tape the middle of my glasses!! That is the road that I am headed down!! But that is OK, though, because I have probably lived about 5 lives and it took all 5 to get to this point of peace. 
   When I was younger, I thought I was going to be involved in Football in some shape, form, or fashion.  It didn't matter that I was 5'5 and a lineman.  I just knew that was what I wanted to do.  When reality kicked in, I then decided that I wanted to rap.  With that decision, though, I had to ask myself a few questions: Knowing that I had 2 sisters, could I disrespect women like that?  Do my pants sag enough? How would I look with gold teeth? Does fake gold turn your neck green? I have always thought (and still think to this day) that me rapping is an insult to my intelligence (No disrespect to other aspiring rappers out there). After a lot of soul searching, I realized that I had a love for numbers and a love for puzzles and mazes.  You may be saying, "King of the Rodeo Clowns, what do they all have in common?" Simple, that is basically what Accounting is.  It's one big puzzle full of mazes, numbers and surprises.  It's up to you to figure it out and make sense of it all.  Depending on what level of Accounting you choose, what you discover can either save a family a bunch of money during tax season, or a corporation millions of dollars which can be turned into profits later.  Yeah, there is a lot of money to be made in the field but, to be honest, it's deeper than the money.  Its the challenge of putting the puzzle together and seeing what it forms.  Nerdy as hell? Damn right it is!!! Necessary to society? Yessir!! It is not glamorous work.  But, from the classes I have taken, It is work that I love and that I am passionate about (umm, read the Passion Blog if you have any questions on passion! Yep).
    I'm sorry if this blog is not as ridiculous as the ones in the past.  But a) Its my blog, dammit!!! and b) Its like that sometimes!!! If every moment of your life is exciting, more power to ya!! If I blogged some of the stories of my life, you would think I was a) Awesome, b) A pervert and c) Out of my mind!!! I will keep it PG ....... for now!!!

Sucka Bet!!

    First let me apologize for not posting over the past week and a half.  I had finals and that takes precedent.  Did you miss me? Well, #$%^ you!! I didn't miss you either!!! Just kidding.  Anyway, this blog is going to be about marriage.  If you are happily married, you may not want to read this.  If not, read on.
    This week, North Carolina passed an amendment banning gay marriage.  I was having a conversation with one of my boys and they asked what my opinion of this was.  I said that I don't have a problem with gays being married.  They're taxpayers. Let them be miserable like everyone else! He then asked me, "Don't you believe in the sanctity of marriage involving one man and one woman?" I answered his question with a question of my own. I said, "What man in his right mind would want to get married?" Then, he started talking about all of the positives of marriage.  He said," Its great having someone to come home to, talk to, etc." I said "Sorry, dawg.  Its my opinion that marriage is for suckers." He hung up the phone on me.(I forgot to mention that he is married).
    I have no desire right now to get married for a number of reasons. 1). I'm still working on getting my mind and my money correct.  2.) I have so many things that I want to do in life and I feel like a wife and kids would get in the way. 3.) I don't have time to play stupid games with women who I have no feelings for just to get some action.  I know that last one was harsh.  But lets be real: Dating is one big game with both parties trying to see what they can get out of it rather than seeing what they can put into it. In my opinion, the guys so desperate to be in relationships or get married are either a.) ugly, b.) have no game and just want to get with the first woman who will actually care about anything they have to say and c.) have no ambition and are looking for a woman to take care of their sorry a$$es.
    Now I know that there are guys who want to start their own families, and I respect that tremendously.  If you are one of these guys, make sure you select the right one.  The right wife equals a lifetime of marital bliss.  The wrong wife can destroy you financially and emotionally.  I have a friend who dated this woman for 2 years and got married, got too comfortable and let go a little.  Although he was still making good money, he gained 25 lbs and his hair thinned a little bit.  Meanwhile, his wife worked out every day, still looked good and decided she wanted to show the world.  While he was working to take care of the bills and the kids, she was going out, looking for attention.  Long story short, she cheated and filed for divorce.  He didn't find out about the affair until after the divorce proceedings and now he pays child support and alimony while she is chilling with the dude she cheated with.  I know!! Its one isolated incident.  But hearing stories like this and seeing the ridiculous divorce rates makes me think twice about getting locked u..... I mean, married.  Relationships and marriage are like full time jobs; You have to put work in to get anything out of it.  At this time, I don't feel like putting that time in.  Could my opinion change? Of course.  But right now, I will happily live the single life.  Maybe next lifetime.

Passion

Hey!! I wasn't going to write anything this week due to finals.  But 2 things which are totally different but, in my eyes, run parallel with each other, happened this week.  First, all congratulations go to my nephew, Trevor Coston, for being signed by the Chicago Bears (no Mom, I'm not exploiting him).  He has worked hard and I have no doubts that he will continue to work his tail off to be the best he can be.  Second, anyone who follows football is more than likely in shock over the death of Junior Seau.  It looks like it was a suicide.  Now people will say he took too many blows to the head and that it may have contributed to his early demise.  This is my take on it:  Have you ever been so passionate about something that you feel like life is worthless without it? All that you wanted in life was to be part of this one big thing and, without your permission, it gets taken away from you. You trained all of your life for it.  It has brought you your greatest joy (and pain). Then, one day, it's gone.  A lot of people have never had that kind of love for something so they can't relate.  I have lost two things in my life that I have deeply cared for: my mother and football.  It has taken me years to adjust to not having either one in my life.  My love for my mother still runs deep.  Her passing is one reason why I question religion today (another topic for another day).  I also spent years trying to replace the high that I got from football.  Alcohol, lady parts, weed, etc. couldn't replace it.  I think that is why I have become so dedicated to accounting.  I have finally found something that keeps me intellectually challenged as well as a tool that feeds my passion for numbers.  Nerd Alert!!! But maybe, for a guy like Junior Seau, he just got sick and tired of searching for something to replace football.  Unfortunately, like the saying goes, suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.   If you are having any thoughts of depression or stress or even suicide, seek help and evaluate your life.  Think about your family before taking that drastic step.
