Summer

This blog will be scattered so bare with me.

I have to say I can't believe how quickly the last 8 months or so have flown by. I mean I literally can't believe it. My trip to Cali seems like it just happened a few weeks ago, but no, that was July 2005. It seems like as I get older, the years rush by quicker, and that's pretty fucking cruel. Around the exact same time when age finally becomes an issue, time speeds up. Ha, the irony of it all! Someone said that youth is wasted on the young, and I think that's just brilliant. Just imagine if you knew what you knew now, when you were younger (I believe I've just plagiarised some song lyric). Hell, you'd be set. That being said however, it's all relative. Five years from now I'll be saying "damn, I wish I knew (insert random fact) 5 years ago. I'd be set!" So I guess the point is to stop living in the past, and concentrate on today. Keep living and learning and make sure you have no regrets. That way you won't sit around 5 years from now and think about what you could have done had you more guts and chutzpah. Now if only I could just take the advice I spew so relentlessly.

Summer has almost arrived and I am really pumped. Nothing beats sitting on a patio drinking with friends. Or playing sports outside. And who can forget that old benefit of summer, girls in tank tops. I've signed up for soccer and frisbee so that should keep me out of trouble.

Saw a good little movie recently "Thank You For Smoking". Smart, funny and well written...my type of flick. Check it out if you can.

Books:

"The Good Earth" - Pearl Buck. Well written and engaging tale about pre-revolutionary China - mainly the story about a simple farmer's life, with a healthy dose of Chinese culture. Pulitzer prize winner.

And I think that's about enough randomness for tonight. I'm having trouble finding topics to write about, as you might have noticed. If there's something interesting you'd like me to write about, let me know.
