"How to be a Man" by Boy

It has certainly been an interesting summer. I typed that previous sentence out a countless number of times to somehow arrange those words into that optimal combination to perfectly and poetically describe how my summer has passed, and my highly creative and original mind came up with "It has certainly been an interesting summer." Bahahaha

Anyways, I have not posted on this blog in quite a long time because I purchased a journal, but I rarely do write in my journal anymore, so might as well write here. I guess my excuse was that I just didn't have that epic "comeback post" to launch me back into the blogosphere, a self-imposed necessity to allow myself to blog again. Comebacks always have to be epic (e.g Backstreet Boys, Destiny's Child, Ravens vs. Niners Superbowl XLVII). But meh... after weeks of deliberation and thinking, nothing... so just gotta suck it up and post.

So with this post, I felt that it would be fun to revisit my never-ending pursuit -> my pursuit to be a Man. This thought popped up from reading a post on awkwardandy.com (a disturbingly accurate portrayal of my awkward self). So I am finally a Senior, I have grown since little freshman Andy, and I would like to believe that I have grown as a Man well. However, every time I let that thought get to my head and blow up my pride, I get rocked, humbled (called a douche bag, lol), and reminded why it is an "never-ending" pursuit. And perhaps it is a welcome humbling, a reminder that my growth as a Man is not defined by my attempts to be more burly, more tough, and more manly, but is defined by my constant pursuit to be more like the "MAN." Still lots to learn, but AJJAAHHH bring it on!!
