| | This blog way old. Seriously. I haven't posted in over about one year.
Today, I looked back through about four years of past postings. I have made some startling discoveries:
1) I thought I typed way cool, using words such as "Woot!" and "Zoinks" and even "Snap yo fingas!" (of course the last was a mockery of real people trying to be cool).
And you know what... it was cool. I was so bomb I was practically a terrorist.
2) I was pretty depressed and clueless when it came to women. I had crushes that I didn't understand how to handle, as most young men do. They were all friends that I wanted (or figured I wanted) to become more than friends. Interestingly, I married a friend, but she was different. I didn't just suddenly want her to be more than a friend, which confused me at first because she is a total hottie and really fun. I just didn't feel it. Sure enough, love snuck up on me and hit me upside the head like a wet catfish.
3) I had a lot of fun. More fun than I have now? Absolutely. The reduction in fun isn't because I got married, though that did significantly reduce the embarrassing and often humorous encounters with women I have (but to be honest, I still have plenty of awkward moments with Heidi.). No, the reason is because I have graduated college, work full time and have begun becoming a responsible and mature grownup.
When I was in college, I would go to Zaxby's and Phat Dogs when I didn't have the money. I would take late night trips with my friends when I should have been getting sleep. I watched old and/or independent movies when I should have been studying for class. Heck, I even skipped class to play video games with people. I don't regret any of it, because that is a part of college: the last hoorah of boneheadedness and irresponsible behavior before becoming an adult. I loved it.
4) There are a lot of things that I did, that I haven't done in a long time, that I want to do again. Such as:
- Play Axis Ball
- Go downtown and footbag
- Play Big Booty
- Eat Phat Dogs and wings (although Wings on the Run has closed, which is why "wings" is not capitalized.)
- Spend an evening playing Smash and Worms and Mario Kart and Mario Party (the memories of playing video games with Rachael and Tatianna are very warm and fuzzy).
- Have a movie night with snacks and a totally ridiculous movie, like Kill Bill or Dr. Strangelove or Casablanca
- Jump on a trampoline
- Participate in a completely ludicrous movie, like the one I played a corpse in. The name of it escapes me, but it did include everything that makes a grindhouse movie: gore, violence, sex, foreign metrosexuals, and electronica musical numbers.
- Play video games again. I just don't do it, which is fine and everything, but I am pretty lazy. I don't get much done during the day... so why not save Hyrule while I'm not doing anything?
5) I really enjoyed making references to things that only one or two people understood. Most of these things were inside jokes with friends or really dumb things that we said. It also included quotes from funny internet videos, Homestar Runner or The Brak Show.
6) I miss a lot of my old friends, like Rachael McAlister, Tatianna Hunt, Jeff Baden and Rosanna Garcia. I do see Tatianna some still, but not the others... and I miss them.
7) I was much more intelligent than I am now. Heck, I was doing research papers and reading intelligent papers and books, learning tons of facts and stuff. Of course, I didn't have a choice - I was in college. But I do miss college from an academic standpoint.
8) I really need to dance more.
9) Bryan and I had a plan so cunning that you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel in college - we were going to transform our dining room table into an Axis Ball table, or for the laymen, a pool table. It never even came close to happening. What a total bummer, man.
I miss Xanga. It was really fun in it's prime. More fun than Myspace and Facebook for sure.
Well... if I don't see you again... good afternoon, good evening and good night.
