October Weather

There is something about the October weather that always reminds me of times past. I suppose this is because all of my major life changes happened in the fall. The start of schooling every year, the Soccer season started, I finally got to wear all of my hot sweaters.... What ever the case is, as soon as I smell that crisp October air I get nostalgic. I start to miss what it was like to be a kid. Seeing my parents everyday, getting an allowance, seeing my best friends all day everyday, and never having to worry about a thing.

Course they say that hind sight is 20/20. The deeper I fall into my own historical trance the more I realize that I probably wouldn't go back to High School to do everything all over again. High School was wicked hard! What to wear, what not to wear, am I cool or not, do I study or go see my girlfriend? There were so many choices at that time that it almost seems like I had more freedom then than I do now! Now the only choice I have is what do I wear on my 2 days off a week? The rest of my time is spent paying bills with the money I make and wearing Red and Khaki to work everyday. Although, there is something to be said for not having to think about what you're going to wear to work everyday; it really cuts down on the time it takes to get ready and thus increases the time I get to sleep in. Nothing feels better than that extra 5 minutes in the morning!

I remember when I was a kid I used to think about how much stuff I would be able to buy once I had a real job. I should've listened to my parents; I have a real job now and I STILL don't have any money to buy cool shit with. Figures. It's the ultimate irony of life. When you're young and energetic you've got your whole life ahead of you, but you don't have any money. When you're old and sore you have more money than you did but nothing to spend it on.

Oh cruel world, why do you tease me?
