time flies.
I don't know about you, but my birthdays seem to come and go so quickly these days. Isn't it ironic though, that when you're young and waiting for those adult moments like getting a driver's license, being old enough to drink etc...time seems to go by slower than molasses going uphill in winter. But as you get older and want time to slow down, it rushes by in an instant (sorry to tired to think of an amusing analogy for speed, like Rosie O'Donnell sprinting after an ice-cream truck).
I still feel like I have not changed much since the last year of high school. But remember how old 27 seemed when we were 18? Hell, one girl I knew back then was dating a 23yr old and we thought he was a dinosaur. I'm sure there's some sort of happy moral to be gained from this, but I am too darned tired to think of it - perhaps enjoy life as it happens. Think fondly of the past but don't cling to it; look forward to the future but don't focus on it. Life is happening right now. Go out there and enjoy yourselves people.

27 yikes....
Tomorrow I am 27 years old. I am on the verge of old age, or maybe I'm already there. There's a depressing post somewhere in this topic, but I refuse to write it. Instead I'm continuing with the next wildly popular (so I'm told) installments of:
Song of the Day:
We Didn't Start the Fire - Billy Joel. You can't beat these lyrics:

Life is....

Those were nice, fun additions to the blog, at least for a little while...

Hello peeps...
Happy New Year! 2006. I turn 27 in about 23 days. When I was younger, and blissfully naive, I had quite a different view of where I'd be when I reached this age. I thought I'd be retired, living on my own secluded paradise island, surrounded by palm trees, the turquoise Caribbean, and plenty of scantily clad women. I'd do nothing but swim, play soccer, listen to Roxette, read Archie comics, and watch Indiana Jones movies (of course, I was about 9 years old when I imagined this...now my tastes have obviously matured, I'd be reading Tintin, listening to The Police and watching James Bond).
So today, on the can, taking a break from watching "Goldfinger" in my jammies, I picked up a Archie magazine, and part of my vision was realized.
OK, you caught me. Now I'm just blatantly lying as opposed to just making shit up.
I have no idea where I'm going with this. This post is piss poor and I apologize profusely. Actually, I guess there is a point to all this. There is a dichotomy between where I am and where I want to be. My new year's resolution is to get myself closer to where I want to be, which though it might look otherwise, is galaxies away from where I am. I think if everyone had this goal, the world would be a better place.
Excuse my poor attempt at profundity. I am getting old.
Cheers.
P.S. Playing poker again, for better or worse. This week, for better.
