Here it is! 2014: A Year in the Life of Kevin Bolinsky The following stories are factual and true. I have omitted the ones related to any gag orders still in effect. The jokes hit the ground running this year! Randy, Josh and myself started a Facebook page called “Only in Oklahoma”. Thank you to Randy and Josh. My whole life Ive always been told, Dont do that, just be yourself. Apparently, me being myself gains one hell of an audience. I got 50-50 custody of my boys... which means my life is perfect HALF the time and the other 50% I miss my boys…and have to get my beer myself. I left Mason a note telling him I loved him after parent-teacher conference. He shocked me when he put “I love you, too, Dad”, and stuck it on my refrigerator a couple of weeks later. It was difficult for people to tell my hand writing from his. My oldest son said he would pack my parachute for me....once. I went with a friend as her date to someones wedding. I still dont have a clue who the bride and groom were but I did realize Im always at the table that laughs the loudest. Mississippi girl came and spent a week with me... some stories are best left untold. Let’s just say when I spell “Mississippi” now, I bear down on that “humpback, humpback, I”. Someone once said that if you like someone you should tell them. Trust me, thats a horrible idea, I recommend writing it down, putting it in a bottle, tying it to a rock and throwing it into the ocean. If they’re meant to know, itll find its way back to them. If not, a woman by the same name with eight personalities may find it and make your life really enjoyable. In October, I found out that four times in one night and twice in the morning is above-average....she was very pleased and I thought I gave an average performance. She said she would even consider joining me next time. The best quote I came up with this year, its better to be alone and lonely then it is to be alone and lonely with a broken heart. I came to terms with the fact that Im going to be single forever. One of the beautiful things about ADHD is being able to figure a person out in an extremely short amount of time. Now when I spot a woman that has all the things I look for in a person, I avoid her. Work has been pretty tame this year. I guess I learned my lesson. Im still on a first name basis with the Secret Service, but its so much nicer to see them at work and know that you had nothing to do with it My Company gave us an 800 number to contact about benefits...they were benefits alright…just not the same kind my company offered. I discovered management doesnt find it appropriate when they ask you if you need anything and you tell them a hug. The lack of compassion in the workplace is horrible. Being at the right place at the right time paid off again this year, coming up on a jump run, I noticed one of my fellow Skydivers hadnt properly fastened his chest strap. He owes me big time, but I think he’s straight. I found out that it takes an average of two days for me to become completely disappointed in a person. I spent Labor Day weekend with my boys and closest friends at Lake Texoma. If Ive had too much to drink and you put me in charge of a boat, I will find a boat load of women and bring them back to party cove. We had a blast....or at least thats what the sheriff’s report said. I gained a much higher appreciation for the few people I have let into my world. The few friends and family that I have always seemed to call or come by when I needed them the most. You guys meant the world to me I tried to be 16 again and go roller skating....thats the last time Ill ever roller skate again…unless she’s really, really hot. I hadnt gotten to see my best friend in a few years, so the couple of hours I got to spend with her, I made sure to make memorable by forcing her to sit on Santas lap with me. (I’m still not convinced that was a candy cane, Santa). I perfected my ability to walk away from unnecessary problems. I decided to start writing again. I jumped in and started writing about ADHD and it connected with a large number of people, even if they could only focus on it for a few moments Proof that everyone in my family has a sense of humor and no one takes anything seriously: During the few hours I got to spend with my grandmother this year, I told her to pose how she wants to be displayed in her coffin when she passes…she did and my mom told me to make sure to save the picture. I found out when someone is really mad at you and you ask them if they need a hug it pisses them off more. I learned that when you make a joke and someone says “too soon!”…you should wait until tomorrow. No matter how bad of a situation I got into, I made a joke about it, smiled, laughed and went on with life. As I look back on the year I realize that I have closed a lot of chapters in my life, but with every chapter I completed, I started a new one. I dont know what 2015 will bring, but I can promise you this: I am doing my part each and every day to love my children with all my heart, Ill laugh a lot harder, cry less, cherish every moment I have with my boys and appreciate every opportunity I get to be with my friends. Things keep getting better with each passing year, so I cannot wait to see what 2015 brings. Goals for 2015: Use the “Only in Oklahoma” page to start giving back, run full throttle and appreciate every second Ive got left, get a BASE number, skydive more, be a better friend to the ones closest to me, most importantly love my children even more and continue turning them into gentlemen, and to strive to be the best father in the world. No matter what Ive done in life, Ive always pushed it to the extreme taking it to the limit, stood there and looked over the edge…In 2015…Im jumping over it :)
