pondering a future heartbreaker

I'm been sipping on a bottle of Firestone Riesling and it has apparently loosened my tongue or thoughts or fingers... let's see...

I watched a group of kids playing soccer on the beach today. They looked to be around 10 to 12 years old. A weird age. As summer winds down those kids are heading into some of the biggest changes of their lives. The loss of innocence and all that bullshit. But it's true.

This is the age when friendships die. This is the era when "cool" kids evolve and they leave the losers behind.

There was one girl in particular who I found striking. Now-- I'm not a pedophile or some fucked up shit like that... but you could look and just tell that she is going to be a knock out. She had a natural beauty. Really cute face. But more importantly, she had this great sense of confidence. She was sociable, talking with everyone and they beamed with happiness just being around her. Just getting a moment of her time and attention was fulfilling-- something special. She was also courageous, not backing down from the boys and very athletic. With the right grooming she could really be something special.
