What happened with those five years...

I think it's always been an interesting thought: learning from the past. Although you can't see the moment exactly, I think a lot of people have a faint idea of what life was like five years ago.

Thankfully and surprisingly enough, I do have a somewhat option of doing this. My blog seems to have hit the five year old stage, so I thought it would be interesting to take the blog closest to five years ago and analyze how I feel about it today. Here's an exerpt of random thoughts I listed from December 23rd, 2003:


"- I really need a samurai sword"
You do but you don't. Having a sword is cool and all, but really it's been sitting in the corner for a while doing nothing. Oh but there were those ninja pictures I took with it.. Just keep the receipt for after you're done.

"- The last samurai was totally sweet"
Still best movie ever in my eyes.

"- How come LXG wasn't nearly as great as everyone made it out to be?"
Oh silly and naive Devin. You haven't witnessed the monstrocities that are Spiderman 3 and X-Men: The Last Stand. You'll rue the day you took the League of Extra-ordinary Gentlemen for granted..

"- I wonder what I'm gonna get for christmas? "
I can't even remember what I got that year. I found out that I'm not good with recalling or placing any events in the year they occured if they're in the new millenium..

"- I wonder where the top part of my karate uniform is... "
You'll find it, don't worry. Check the trunk of your car. Oh wait, I don't think you have your car yet..

"- Learning how to massage is A LOT harder than I thought... "
Just give up and learn guitar already. Future Devin will thank you for giving him the head start.

"- Dammit I need to get Christine's msn email. She said to get it from Tony, but he doesn't know which one on his list is her's. So that doesn't really help. "
Yeah that's a dead-end, don't bother.

"- I think the real reason why I wasn't over Christine for so long was because she seemed totally pissed at me for something, and I couldn't do anything about it. All the feelings changed in a flash, and it was too weird for me. "
There's plenty of fish out there, my friend. Christine is the least of your worries.

"- Maybe if I get Christine's msn, I can break that communication barrier b/w us, and we can become friends again, and I can finally close the book on this one. "
Dude! Stop talking about her.. Man I didn't realize I was so caught up in the whole thing. I think it was something like a year after we broke up when I wrote this blog.

"- How come no one is signing my msg board? :( "
Oh man, I was so self-conscious about my blog back then. Although I am surprised that I kept it going the way I did. Props to me!

"- What should I do with my free time? What can I do to be productive?"
Keep working out while you have the willpower.. And remember, Costco sized packages of Cheesies are not your friends...

"- I really wonder who is reading these thoughts? Am I really putting these up for my own benefit? If that's the case, this sucks.... "
It's actually more useful than I would have imagined back then. It's like one of those old diaries you stumble across when you're cleaning up your house.

"- I wonder how hard it will be to workout after the holidays. Has my strength really decreased that much?"
Ahh to be young and ambitious again.. Frick I was 18 back then, that's crazy!

"- I should buy myself protein supplement..."
You should also eat it before it expires. And the jar of supplement that you buy after that. And also the jar after that. And another one.

"- I really wish someone would get me a samurai sword."
Oh snap, Vic has quite the gift waiting for you..

"- Are there any ppl that read my blog that I don't really know too well or totally don't expect to read it?"
Yes there are! Beware of Terry Paranych! He will creep your blog........... and sell your home!
