Flashbacks

Sometime around the last band, I started having flashbacks of being in band myself. Not so much a flashback in terms of anything visual, just that I remembered what it felt like being in band. Which lead to a general flashback of being in high school.

It was this low-level of angst, existential frustration, and a deep sadness that didn't have much of a focus to it. I felt like I was going to throw up. And this was just a flashback. I knew the actual feeling was much more intense.

Whoever said that high school is the greatest years of your life was full of it. Sure, you never have more fun than you do in high school, but I don't think I was ever more miserable than I was in high school.

And now that I think about it, I had more fun in college than I did in high school. By a mile.

I guess if I had a point... no, wait, I don't have one of those.

Wait! I got it!

My point is, I realized what misery Jacob has waiting for him just around the corner. If you believe in God and that He listens when you pray, say a prayer for him. He's got a long, hard stretch ahead of him.
