31. Bourbon grandma, grandpa piano connick, tosh got me into that during
music man. Jill Hayes took a chance on me. Matt is my best friend for life.
Just saw him in Dallas he's still thin. What a punk. I haven't been that thin
since I was 16. Started driving then. Had to have my eagle scout first. I
liked scouts but it wasnt super cool after 16. Had some fun times. Philmont,
going back for help after we got lost in the mountains. One guy had to be
taken by helicopter. I ended up dehydrated and taken back to Basecamp
for a day as well. Winter camp was fun. I remember my first one, we went
snipe hunting. They fooled me but I sure was all in. I thought they were all
really mean back then but looking back I realized they came back for me.
Why did they do that? That's not the norm. Felt like odd man out. Perhaps I
always have been and always will be. Is that a bad thing? Perhaps theres a
hidden power in being that guy.
