Bachelor party was tonight. It actually went ok. Started kinda rough when only three people (including me) showed up. In the end, I got to hang out with the people who are the most important — my brother, my best men, my closest friends. With the exception of deedee not being there, I’d say it went pretty well. It involved pool and pool. That’s to say we shot pool for three hours, then went to my cousin’s and went swimming and grilled some burgers. Then played some good, ol’ fashioned Shanghai. They even let me win. ;)

Now I just have to get to business getting ready to get married. I came to the realization that I will leave this house on thursday and will never return to it single again. It’s more significant than it sounds, really. For over 25 years of my life, my home has been with my family. It has been in this house for 14 years. When I leave here on thursday, I will never return home. Not here, at least. I’ll have a new home, in a shabby little two bedroom apartment (that’s slightly burned currently) in Po’Dunk. It’s a big thing to deal with, even if you have known it was coming and accept it completely.

I was gonna write up some stuff about how this seems like a logical time in one’s life to contemplate all the wildly different (and slightly different) directions your life could have taken… I think I’m just too tired to write that up, though.

Plus, I am greatly annoyed with myself. Here it is, six days til my wedding, and I keep getting distracted with this stupid opportunity that has presented itself. It’s so distracting that I’ve already wasted three days on it in the past week, and Deedee and her family are going to waste a day on it, too. It’s semi-exciting, because I like the idea, and I can swing it, financially speaking; however, there are some substantial obstacles to overcome, and even then, it may end up not being worth it. Even so, it’s so tempting that I have told everyone I have talked to about its possibilities, and have gotten other people involved in my what-if-ing, as well. Everyone has some piece of advice to offer about it, and even the people who normally are the most negative about ideas like this have had at least something positive to say to go along with their warnings and cautions. This is something that needs to have about two weeks worth of research put into it, but something that I really should not worry about until at least after the honeymoon. It’s difficult to put off something that gets even the mother of the bride excited and distracted from the wedding. I guess that’s exactly why it should wait, eh?
