I think I aged 10 years last night...

So this morning I woke up and my son turned 18 and I can't get it out of my head and it's really f*cking with my day. It seems like yesterday he was that 6 or 7 year old boy in the Ricky Williams jersey at the Huddle tailgate which had about 10 of us back then. (Can you believe we have been tailgating together for about 12 years!)

Anyway...now he is a young man at 6' 2" that actually hurts me when we wrestle or throw jabs at one another (not that I will ever let him know that) and dunks over me when we play basketball. I am 37 years old and I didn't realize I was getting "old" until a couple of years ago but today, it sank in much more. I can only imagine how much worse it will be when he heads off to NC State in a few months.

I have always heard people say "they grow up so fast"...well to all you guys (and girls) that have these young children.....those people are not lying. It's defintely true.

I was watching my 4 year old son playing yesterday and i realized he is going to be going off to college one day. We've talked about it, hell he talks about, but the reality of it never really sunk in til yesterday. Mommy's going to miss her sweet boy :(

Wow JR, how about that?

18 and off to school.

I dunno how I'm gonna deal with it.

My baby girl is 5 and reads everything now, goes to school all day and wants to wear mommy's makeup already. It freaks me out now, I can't imagine what I'm gonna be like in a few years.

But you know what, all we can do is raise 'em the best we can and give 'em the love and support they need. Can't do anything about the passage of time.

Yup, I know how you feel J Rock.

My oldest son leaves foir the Army (Airborne Infantry) next week and my 2nd Son leaves in 2 months for the same with an option to go to RASP (Ranger Assessment and Selection Program like myself and not less than 12 of my relatives).

I look at my 3 younger sons (all under 5 YO) and I'm not sure I will be able to handle this separation and emotional roller coaster again...but I will.

I have to.

I'm Dad.

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
