Description

Chuck has "Flown the Coop" and is implementing his plan to live on his own in San Diego, California, just 21-years-old.This is the second book in a series. Here are a few excerpts from the first book, The Diary of "Fling the Coop," regarding the motivation for the topic of this book, running away from New York, to a new home in California:The group-think of the Guard is humbling when I'm in a group who don't know me well. They don't pay attention when I speak. The Utah Guard was real laid back, allowing guys to grow hair long. Everybody used first names. It was like that scene in Rambo when the Guard is sent in to track Rambo and a weekend warrior says, "Richie, I'm not going in that cave to get him. I have to get to work in the morning."The fact is, there are some famous National Guard divisions that have fought bravely in war. During WWII, Patton called the Oklahoma National Guard, 45th Infantry, the best or the greatest force he had every known. State militias had an important role throughout history going back to the protection of the colonies.I could rarely speak unless spoken to. I noticed that when some African Americans speak, especially the guys from Bed-Stuy, it is a custom to accent the first or second word to get attention. I tried it and did it when talking to some new recruits, but it got very stressful. I wish to be heard while I can speak my normal cadence without so much stressful work to sound acceptable. Kind of like a chameleon who changes to fit in. I'm thinking Woody Allen in Zelig or The Story of English (which was a nine-part TV series about the development of English) with that guy from MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour - I always get them mixed-up because Lehrer looks like his name should be "MacNeil. When I go to San Diego, I want to be smart and on the ball. I'm not going to take a lazy ass attitude and bask in the sun all the time. Sure, I'm going to enjoy myself, but not at my own expense. I'll make my own time. The days of summer vacations are over. I'm not a teenager anymore. It's time to grow up if I want to reach my goals. This, I know is a good decision. Sure, I want to be in shape and fit, but the "stud" attitude of Utah high school is outgrown. Now that it is unraveled I can rest. I have a habit of creating a lot of emotion in an idea, feeding my ego and self-image and starving myself with insecurity. I like the theme, right now, of "innocence lost" and hardening the conscience through lessons from harsh experiences which tend to falsely teach us that we are naïve and need a rude awakening. I believe that we can continue on stably and that our simplest nature is a most priceless possession.
