There is a house in Tyler and Kylee's neighborhood selling right now for 55K, just 55 measly K! Now, this isn't a mansion that would be featured on cribs, but it's a nice modest home fit for a young chap like me. Problem is, I can't buy it. I'm not where I'd thought I'd be. Does that sound like your life? It's been ringing true a lot more for me lately. I feel that what I thought was going to happen in my life is like a sweet balsa wood plane. I put it together and sent it flying. But instead of flying swiftly and beautifully to completion and safety, someone smacked it out of the air trying to be funny! And now the fragile balsa wood wings are severely damaged. It can't fly. So I'm stuck; trying to engineer some new material from which to build the wings. But engineering ain't so bad, ask my brother-in-law or any dorky white Mormon guy down at the institute. You will recognize them immediately; they'll be wearing khaki shorts, a blah t-shirt, and either worn out white new balances or socks with sandals. Can't miss them. Style may elude these dudes, but at least they've got a career all locked-up.
Pete-Pete...you crack me up :) Hang in there, something will come your way!!!!!
ReplyDeletei like your posts. they make me laugh. one day my balsa wood plane will be big enough for 2 people and no one will be able to knock it down as a joke, not even with a sledge hammer. til then, touché.
ReplyDelete55K?!!! Dang that is half the price of a Master's degree. School really is for suckers.
ReplyDeleteThe imagery is great. Or maybe it's just that I bought my son a balsa wood plane a few months ago and it lasted all of about 10 seconds so I remember the wood's tenderness. Either way, you crack me up! Just remember to build your new plane far, far away from socks with sandals.
ReplyDeleteBy the by, just saw your appearance on TMB. Rootin' for you!
