Junior High, High School, and Life

I had coffee with a good friend this last Sunday and we talked about all kinds of stuff.  One topic that has got me thinking...Thinking ALOT, was our life in junior high, high school, and life.

Junior high was tough, New Friends, New Enemies, New Classes, New Self...

High school not as tough, Maintaining old friends as they find new friends, Maintaining self as you find new self...again, Maintaining grades while keeping busy with sports/outside actives.

Life is a roller-coaster of tough and easy wrapped up in newspaper and a shinny bow. We do things like raising a family (whether its children, a spouse, furry babies, or even yourself) Work our butts off to pay bills, Keeping friends, finding old friends, forcing co-workers to be your friends, and don't forget about being a "Grown Up" (it's not as fun as I thought it would be)

I guess if I had to pick a time to go back to, you know one of those weird questions that a kid would ask you "If someone put a gun to your head and told you to pick a time to travel back to in their DeLorean, what time in your life would you return too?"

99% of my childhood was FUCKED UP!!! But I had alot of fun in junior high.  I had friends, probably the most friends I ever had, I had sleep overs, and stayed up late watching scary movies and playing with Ouija Boards.  It may not have been the best time of my life... But it was the funnest!!
