High School graduation, right after the valedictorian speech and right before the walk-up-here-shake-hands-and-get... shit started the principal made a comment about how this year he's going to begin awarding "student of the year" awards for outstanding male and female students. So, first he calls out the female student, Tacie Purcell, and I'm thinking "yeah, Tacie's a nice girl, she deserves that award" and I turn around to continue talking about how it was hilarious that the valedictorian actually mentioned my name in his speech after I asked him to give me a shout out and next thing you know, someone is tapping me on the shoulder..."Greg, he just called you up there; you're the male student of the year". I was like "WTF". So I do that walk all the way from the back of the student seating up to the podium. I shake the principal's hand and he hands me a gift box. I got back to my seat and opened the box and it was a Bulova watch. I was in shock. An great award and an amazing gift. That night I wore it to a graduation party and broke that fucking thing while stairdiving. I got home and told my mom: "Mom, I've got bad luck with watches. I broke that Movado that you bought for me 2 years ago, lost my $150 Mickey Mouse watch the next year, and now I break this one". It was then that my mom said "Greg, you're just not graceful enough to be wearing a watch." I thought about it that night and decided I wouldn't wear a watch ever again... and I don't. All I use now is whatever cell phone I happen to own.
If you read all the way down here you are a very patient person.
