Slay the Dragon

Entitlement.
Throughout my life's path, I have had one obstacle that has impeded my success: entitlement.

I always scored in the 95%+ in those state tests and never felt pressured by scholastic endeavors. When the class time was worth more than the iPod I was listening to in said class, I was way too caught up in my entitlement phase. I look back and wish I could punch myself in the throat, but that's another day hah.

Now that I have given my half to the life that is the amazing aware Amer RICO, I feel like I should at least be able to see him, not whenever I please, but at least when it can be managed. I will not point any fingers and not place any blame, because life comes with angles we don't expect, but I give my word I have and am trying with all the resources available.

On another note, my mother's parents will be needing a ride out to Columbus, Ohio. I am a bit excited to drive and see my mother after about two years, but I am not looking forward to the backseat driving of my grandfather. I love him for his intuitive brilliance, but I'll put dollars to donuts that my contacts will beat his glasses. Love ya Moses. Honestly, I'd love to use that time to get a nice chronicled recording of most memories they have. I spent a lot of time with my mother's parents a lot when I was younger for church and what not, but never asked too much. I regret that.

I am entitled only to the moment.
