Three Years...

Wow. I have been on this thing for three years now. The evolution is... incredible.

Anyway, just got home from Derrick's crib. We watched a movie and the played some CounterStrike. Fun times. TOMORROW IS THE SUPER BOWL!!! I'll be partying it up over @ Derrick's again in 12 hours. Vicky will actually be in attendance! I'll hold off on announcing my predictions until tomorrow (don't want to jinx the BEARS).

But, hey... Seriously now, THREE YEARS?! It has been that long since I started this thing. Had they even INVENTED the internet that long ago?! I didn't even have a cell phone yet. My laptop was two years away. My car was still relatively (13 years) new! Steve, Derrick, Blaszczyk, etc... were not anywhere close to being a part of my life. My three only friends at that time are people I have not actually spoken to at this moment in nearly six months. My shoulder was still on it's first labrum/rotator cuff and my brain was on it's first college. The Cubs were about to start their only pre-season-favorites-predicted season in my lifetime.

I'm sorry. I don't care how depressing it is to keep this damn blog around for me to read from time to time, realizing how different things are makes me so happy. To have this reminder of how far I and all those around me have come is truly a blessing. Even if I have to sit through the melo-dramatic ravings of a young mind teetering on the brink of breakdown, I still can step back and realize how much an actual lifetime is.

...

I guess what I'm saying is that it is -6° outside and right now my house is as far away from the sun as it's going to get. And unlike three years ago, I now take this for what it is, not a metaphor for my life but a scientific fact that has so little to do with me and even less to do with how others treat me.
