Learn to Fly!

The first time I was on a plane I was 7 years old on my way to Jamaica with my family.  I remember looking out the window, nervously anticipating my first flight.  The sound of the engines starting, the acceleration, the landing equipment retracting; it all was so exhilarating.  The seat is sucking you in as the plane begins to lift off—nervous excitement!  My most recent experience was in the spring of 2009.  I was headed to Cancun, Mexico.  Sixteen years later I still have that feeling.

MAN THINGS-John’s Barber Shop

In my brief 23 years of life on this beautiful planet, I have made three generally poor assumptions; 1: women will flock to me because I think they will 2.

Not once, not twice, but 18 times. It gets worse. Inevitably, after every round, I extend the four hours to endless hours of mental racing wondering what titanium hollow technology, ten layered soft feel ball or high priced golf Zen master can help my hopeless cause. I’ve even wondered whether I should ask my saintly Italian mother to put in some prayers to a higher power. The only thing that still makes me believe I am sane is that there are a lot of you out there just like me, or are we all insane? (more…)
