The horrible thought of growing up

I can't fully remember what I was watching today, (and to be quite honest I can't really be held accountable for any actions, comments, thoughts, or musing lately - I'm actually writing this on the shitter - I'm losing my mind) but the smell of my town around late fall hit me today. 

I started to think about my life. The triumphs, the lows, the premature ejaculations...everything, and I've come to the conclusion that my life, what I think to be this extraordinary compilation of drunken nights, f-words, verbal arguments, and lifelong friends - is pretty average. 

In fact, I believe that each person doesn't fully understand the black hole that is our lives. Being a human  on earth is like having a free ticket to a buffet line- some get in and don't feel the hunger, some only eat what they want, some find one thing and stick with it, and some want to try everything.  
The big catch with this outstanding buffet of Asian strippers, the shaved vagina, paying taxes, children, and marriage is that you only get to go through once...and unlike football when we were all kids- there are no re-do's.  

Life is too short to consider any time to be idle. Life it too short to be away from friends and family, and life is too short to be somewhere you don't want to be. 

This brings me back to the smell. I believe that sometimes life sets aside little signposts to help you find your way back home.  Sometimes it's a smell, sometimes it's a dream about my family, or sometimes it's just a thought that slips past my eyes and reminds me that this average life has had some stellar people in it.

Long live the Tim Show! Brought to you by such references as 'Kobe Bryant is unfaithful' and 'its like throwing a hotdog down a hallway'
