This past Labor Day Weekend, my 25 year-old cousin got married. For this 24 year old "vagabonding wanderlust" this was a big deal. As was how screwed in and good that head was on his shoulders. Lived through college at Xavier University in New Oreleans during Hurricane Katrina; Got a Master's in Theology; Taught Theology for a bit; Was looking to now teach Physics to high school kids [what he got his B.A. in] and recently this dream for him came into fruition. Oh and did I mention he married his girlfriend of 5 years. Yeah...When it came time to list my achievements up to the present, let's just say the whole graduated from college, lost a year looking for a job/being lazy (ain't got that "backpack through Europe or Africa" money, yet), worked at a restaurant and am now paralegal/legal assisting it up, didn't really, how do you say, match up. I was reminded of all this a few minutes ago when I heard about and read this:
Damn. That's what's up! Again, note to self: get up, get out and do something!
