Morning Monologue Day 30 (Graduation Day) 88/90

October 1st 2008 in 30 in 30, Pt. 2, Writing/Fiction

“Wake up, Mr. Socks, Mr. Socks, Mr. Fresh/Mr. By-His-Self-He-So-Impressed/
I mean, damn did you really pass this test…?”

Good morning,

Wow, I really am at Day 30. It is a great day to wake up and be so impressed by myself. Not with conceit or ego, but with humility and pride. I am less than 12 hours away from completing my goal. A mere matter of moments from the finish line. In a sense it’s scary. Although today has just begun, I’m already thinking about what I will do tomorrow. Will I sleep in for once or just continue on this path out of habit? Maybe Day 31 is the real test…

“On this day we become legendary/Everything we dreamed of/
I’m like a fly Malcolm X/Buy any jeans necessary…”

Good morning,

I am legend. Maybe not to everyone, but to me, today, I am. I won’t take credit for creating this fast. I have not done anything that millions of Muslims have already done and been doing for lifetimes before I even knew of this journey’s existence. I am no more special than any man, woman or child that has traveled and will continue to walk this path, but to me, today, I am. I thank them for providing a blueprint. I may not have followed every guideline to the letter, but I am proud of my accomplishment. I’m pleased with the enlightenment this has afforded me and I thank my lucky stars for the opportunity to not only attempt this journey but to successfully complete it (well, in a few hours at least). Because on this day I will become legendary. Maybe not to everyone, but to me, today, I am.

“Look at the valedictorian scared of the future/While I hop in the Delorean/Scared-to-face-the-world complacent career student/Some people graduate, but we still stupid/They tell you read this, eat this, don’t look around/Just peep this, preach us, teach us, Jesus/Okay, look up now, they done stole your streetness/After all of that, you receive this…”

Good morning,

I am scared of the future. Truthfully, aren’t we all? We have no idea what is next. Tomorrow is never promised. How it will unfold is totally out of our control. But I will not be cared to face the world. I will try my best to not forget all that I have learned and yet to learn about myself, the world and my fellow man. I refuse to be complacent and follow rather than lead. This is my pledge to myself, and my message to you. I just hope that after all of that, you receive this…

Welcome to the final day of the 30-Day Blog Marathon… There are only 2 posts left, check back at noon for the first and then later this evening for the final Evening Epilogue and conclusion to this journey as the 30-Day Blog Marathon concludes…

“I am scared of the future.”

Fears are meant to be conquered. I know a man who tackled his fear of heights head-on and went skydiving. He was scared of being in the water, but this past summer he learned how to swim and went diving in Aruba. Sounds like that dude can handle anything that the future throws at him. Even the nightmare that is John McCain. Just kidding. Obama got this.

Evening Epilogue: Day 29 (Roommate Wanted) 87/90

Good evening,

You gotta love days off. It offers you the time to do some of the things you want to do but just can’t seem to fit into your normal everyday schedule. Because if this were any other Tuesday, I would have been at work working. Yeah, you get the weekends to do your own [...]

PRELUDE: Early on in the 30-day blog marathon I told the story of The Breakup. If you don’t recall or didn’t read it, click the link above. Now this is what happened approximately 29 days earlier…

It was sometime in mid-August of 1999 and Monica and I were about to celebrate our third anniversary. In honor [...]
