Last night...

[EnderJE]

...I was at an old HS friend's engagement party. A few of the old group was there. It's funny how we've all changed in the past 15 or so years. AL was still talking about the chick that he scored with last night. The ones with kids were swapping pictures and stories. The guy who was going to be married was blushing over his fiance.

All of a sudden, it occured to me why I only see them once every year or once every year and a half. We don't belong together anymore. We're all at different points in our lives now.

Some are married. Some have kids. Some are divorced. Some are the same.

I felt a little sad because I can still remember that pledge that we had in the summer that we graduated. We'd always be brothers.

The pledge is still true. We'll still be brothers. But, we won't be close. Not that we haven't been for a long time.

What's sad is the mundane "American" lifestyle we all live. We all eventually fall into some stereotype, some "what we're supposed to be". Granted, I don't necessarily know what the alternatives are, and I am not knocking anyone for their choices. But personally, that is my greatest fear. That one day I will wake up with a wife, 2 kids, nice house in suburbia, a mortgage, and bla bla bla. Sometimes life is no greater than death.

Well, that's what I did. I'm not exactly sure why I did it. I guess because I thought that it would be easier then the original plan of going with the surf. Yes, we watched a little too much Point Break.

Sometimes, I regret that I didn't follow through on the original plans. Other times, like when I have a chat with my kids, I wouldn't want to change anything.
