Look out world, John Parker is now 18. Which means I can do... what? There's not a lot that you can do at 18 that you can't do at 17, except legally call yourself a man.

It doesn't hurt that it happened. I saw it coming with the rest of you.

What hurts is that no one told me, even though it's a part of me that I lost.

Have you ever had a day that you felt you had total control over, only for it to turn about and sucker punch you in the face? Today has been one of those days. I was going to write out this huge long post describing all the wonderful things that have been going on lately, but now I am in no mood for that, as my face is now sucked-punched raised to ( Read more... )
