MID-LIFE CRISIS- INSPIRED BY CORY..

Mid -life crisis- Inspired by my co worker Cory,,
   I've been in the Navy a long time and my co supervisor is about to retire, at first I saw him as a laid back guy who just had a few misfortunes at the wrong time which affected him. But I soon realized this guy is a frustrated , upset , pissed off and often times disappointed guy. He tells of stories how people mistreat him, misunderstand him.. At a first impression, he seems to be a alright guy, but you later realize he has a mean streak, and a violent one at that. If you ever see him in the gym attack a punching bag, hes freaking fast and furious and the look in his eyes when he hits that bag is mean , mean .mean.. I like him , but at times I must admit I worry about him, especially he is about to retire, I have advised him in subtle ways and trying to get him to open up. But I guess he feels he has this image to uphold,, and to me that's where his troubles start and end. The Navy has made him into a Bad Ass, and because of that persona, when he does try to reach out, they don't believe him, I'm sure his own family wonders about him. But I must admit , in a street fight , bar fight I want him on my side, his tenacity , his passion and his skills are awesome. Like I said he's amazing to watch, and I feel honored that I was able to him in action , that is on the bag. To be honest , to see him in real action is probably awesome and probably very painful for the other guy.. But, I continue to rock out the division with music and stories , and hoping he comes out of the rage machine, he has on occasion , like one time he did a square dance two step only a white boy could do.. But he's Asian ,but because he acts so white ,,, or so Americanized its a trip.. Many times I Forget he is Asian, because he has perfect English and great command of his voice and mannerisms, he confident , firm and fearless, I like this guy , but like I said hes going to the civilian world and they work differently.. Thank goodness he has months of retirement leave,, He needs the break to make that transition and start his new life with a fresh and renewed effort. I wish him well, and I know he has the ability to be a great success whatever career choice he makes. But I do want him to find other outlets for his aggression, maybe guitar playing during his leave time.. I mean i do it because its creative , relaxing and fun. I see the creative side of him at times. I mean he was goofing with my fender stratocaster guitar , and made some van halen like sounds.. Very cool. But I know he just wants to leave, and the games some of military brass plays gets to him. But I'm happy for him that he managed to get the benefits and pay for all his service. I mean he doesn't read about history , he is history.. haha. Well , my friend Mel , I wish you well and please relax and get set for a nice new life and perhaps a new hobby like guitar playing.. I feel you have maxed out all the fighting techniques , you know all of them so well. Try something to challenge you ,, Play the guitar,, and who knows,, one of these you and I can jam out,. if you get to that level..haha.. No but for reals,.. My friend is a good guy and all the feelings of returning to his youthful vigor and attitude is fine , but you must remember your a grown man with wife and kids to care for.. be careful with them and your muscle car. I know you always wanted one, but it seems you went back in time and became that 17 year old kid that had a muscle car with the attitude and lack of thought.. Have fun,, but be careful.. Your too cool of guy to get hurt or hurt others.. I respect you man,, and I'm looking forward to your farewell speeches and emails, because they are entertaining and at times heartbreaking, you do have a talent my friend , but don't let the mid life crisis thoughts take over your perspective.. This will not only help you but your family and friends that Love you , but are concerned about your bad ass attitude!! Enjoy each day and may you have many years of enjoyment with your family and friends.. Peace out my friend and I will be there , if you need me.. but to be honest I know you will be doing fine.. Why? Because your Swell Mel,, you know whats up!??! haha.. THE SOURCE PRODUCTIONS @2012..
