The Good about Growing Up

After a night of extreme boredom (it's 11 pm - I can't believe I wasted this whole night doing nothing), I am tying it up with this blog, a smoke or two, and hopes that I can maybe - someday - become the responsible adult I always wanted to be. But that has yet to happen.

Being on this kick of "taking responsibility" of all my failures and defects of character can really drag you down at times. Tonight I was exploring the web. Mostly I was looking at casts of shows like Seinfield and Friends and ER and Scrubs - looking at all the guest appearances and the resumes of the stars and co-stars of those shows. Yeah, I was that bored. And I still can't believe they cancelled Boston Public! Anyway, I ended up doing a search on some of my college friends, and found some people I went to school with. Their profiles were all on some my-space like site. Here it is, 8 years after college and many of them had the same group of friends talking about the same shit and talking shit about the same people as 10 years ago.

I realize Jess, Brian and I hardly talk to anyone from high school - if anyone. As far as college goes, my contact list has dropped down to two people (Jay and Veronica). Even with that, Jay and I hardly ever talk about people from SWT. I know I hardly ever talk about people fron High School anymore either. Anyway, I guess I moved on. There's no glory days form Kempner or SWT anymore. The more and more I reflect on those old times, the more I realize - they were just old times and I've made lots of new times to replace those. Besides - I kinda don't mind blocking out 8 years of drinking, awkardness, bad sex, (oh wait - that was almost no sex), etc, etc. Today is a good day. A better day. I know where my job is, my home is, and where my friends are.

Oh yeah Jess, that was an intetresting blog on the self esteem issue. No other comments, just interesti ng.
