High school seniors will be graduating in the coming weeks....I have a different take on high school graduation, (I think it's expected...and the fact we celebrate it is....sort of dumb) grab a drink and prepare to argue with me. I graduated from high school 41 years ago..... Dear God, for something that at times seems like yesterday was a long time ago. My fellow graduates gave me three honors back in 1985,.....
I was voted Most Likely to Succeed.
I was voted Most Organized.
I was voted Biggest Pest......no shit, they nailed that one.
Every time in my life when I fail, I think back to being named Most Likely to Succeed and think, "F'ing idiots" and then when I am late because I can't find my keys.....I think, "F'ing idiots" and then when I piss someone off.....I think, "Damn Straight!!!!" I graduated with some smart people.
I am not certain about my first two awards, but I am 100% sure I was the Biggest Pest. Believe it or not, a few of the people I went to high school with rejected my Facebook friend request. Yes, it is true.....imagine still being bitter 4 decades later, just because I said out loud something everyone else knew was true.....but didn't have the guts to say to your face..... This is where a GREAT girl by the name of Kelly is screaming, "Matt it's your baby...."
I no longer talk to the kids from high school every single day.....But Facebook lets me follow their lives from afar. I have learned a lot from Facebook, like the good people are still good people, I am still the Biggest Pest and the sluts from the 1980's post the most Bible verses in 2026.
