Write Drunk, Edit Sober
Picture this. It’s 2002. You went to the Scholastic book fair earlier tht day and rode the bus home to an empty house. You sit on the floor in front of your huge, 20 inch box TV and switch it to channel 3. Your favorite Nickelodeon sketch comedy, All That, is about to start. Life is good.

I wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then.

On this week’s episode of The Mandalorian, Mando and his son, Baby Yoda, finally met with Ahsoka Tano. She’s the jedi that Mando’s been looking for to train Baby Yoda. Now obviously, Disney was never going to let Mando leave Baby Yoda with her because then they would lose about 99% of their viewership, but they did something else almost equally divisive. Ahsoka Tano used the force or something nerdy to communicate with Baby Yoda and revealed his real name to Daddy Mando.

Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.

The following is a story I wrote while I was in college. It was intended to be part of a little book about my college life I was going to give to my little brother so he sort of knew what to expect when he got there. But nothing in my life has ever been typical and my experiences varied wildly from what others probably experienced. So I never finished the book. He’s still writing his own story which is filled with just as much happiness and misery as my own but at the time I didn’t think he’d be able to relate. Here’s one story that survived that I think everyone can relate to, though. Please feel free to cringe as you read.
