So, when I was a kid, first grade with Miss Spencer at Solana Vista, we had an assignment to figure out what we wanted to be when we grew up. A super easy process for any first grader and I mean that sincerely because at that point we were still innocent and non jaded to the realities of our world. Many kids said usually what their parents did for a living. Doctor, lawyer, prostitute, crack dealer and so on. Believe it or not the aspiring crack dealer, Charlie, was an Asian kid that liked rap music and had zero idea what he was referring to. One of our classmates, a friend at the time, who loves dogs just about as much as I do, said without blinking and so matter of factly, I want to be a Siberian Husky. The only part he accomplished was being a bit husky and going to UDub, right Spike...oh didn't.you fuck Kristi and Tessa just last year while married to....oh what is your current wife and mother of your kid's name? I cannot remember nor do I care as you fucked me over you complete piece of shit. You morphed into a lard ass fuck. And BTW, your a disgrace to your family. Your brothers are real athletes and solid men...you not so much. Any way have fun with that..... So back to career day my other buddy said with absolute confidence and self assuredness "I want to be a SEAL..".like a Navy SEAL but our teacher had not thus far heard of the elite Teams as her comment was something to the extent of "Well, Ja..., You're a human remember so you can't turn into a seal when you get older. Nor do they make any money...even if they work at Sea World. So what else would you like to be when you grow up? Somewhat disgruntled and confused Ja....said very quickly, in a first grader prepubescent voice "I wanna be a SEAL.i said I want to be. SEAL..." It was clear that Miss Spencer was somewhat frustrated because her ability to tolerate bullshit was at an all time low. Compared to what we normally did in class or on the playground each day simply saying he that one wanted to be a SEAL should have not even registered on the Bullshit Meter. Muttering under her breathe as she sipped from a coffee mug, "God damnit, why today? Than at a normal tone " I said before Jam....you can't be a seal as kids don't grow up to be any other species other than humans. I appreciate your enthusiasm for aquatic animals but you have to choose a more reasonable occupational goal." Ok...so in first grade we didn't fucking swear as much as we Fucking do now but I think that was the first time I ever heardy my buddy use the F word and by F word i mean he said to me, as we sat on the floor of the classroom in a circle with all twenty two kids around us, "Dude, is this bitch fucking retarded? Why doesn't she know what the fuck a SEAL is. What the Fuck, man?" Needless to say Jamie was sent to time out and had to pick up trash at recess but got out of it by tricking some dude named Pedro into doing for him. I have yet to figure that one out but it was still a memorable day. Coincidentally,.that was the same day that Miss. Spencer was late coming back to lunch and always kept a bottle of special juice on her desk. She was so much for fun from that day on....not sure what happened? She was often late and kept mumbling something about the bus and not having a license. I thought she also drove a school bus for some of the kids Anyway, my buddy actually did grow up but be became a Siberian Tiger and not a Seal as he hoped but he did become the first ever tiger to join the elite special forces team known as the US Navy SEALs otherwise known as the Teams....it's quite a remarkable story. I hope he is well and Miss Spencer. I am truly proud of Jamie and the several other guys we grew up with and surfed with that became SEALs. That was my dream at one time and I am glad that you all had the talent, motivation and fucking unwavering desire to fight for our country and stand up for what is right. I would have loved to have had that opportunity as well. You all are truly a rare breed.
