In the year 1997…
June 30, 2007
Dear Blog,
10 years ago. I had no idea where I was going. I graduated high school. I had some notions about the world and I had a handful of best friends.
A lot changes in 10 years.
At times like this I like to think about 100 years ago. There is a big probability that I would still be living in the city I grew up in. Instead of car I would still have a horse and would be reading about the model T in a newspaper 3 years after it had already been out on the market. I would only have a handful of books to read and of course the family bible.
How about 1000 years ago? I would not have left my village or territory. I would not know how to read. If I did read, it would of been the bible.
I see more images and words in a single day today than I would of seen in a whole year 100 years ago. 1000 years ago it would take a lifetime to see what we see in a single day. Of course with streaming multimedia sites and some RSS feeds It could be possible to see more information flow across a computer screen in a few hours than a whole lifetime 1000 or even 100 years ago.
It also seems that the older I get the faster the weeks fly by. I know time is relative but it seems to keep speeding up the more information we have. Maybe it is just all the distractions. Maybe it is the routine that I have in my life. Maybe I should get to the point of why I am thinking about the past.
Tomorrow is my 10 year high school reunion. I have changed so much in the past 10 years. I wonder what my old acquaintances are like now. A couple of friends that I have stayed in touch with are still the same person but with a kid though. I wonder if there will still be cliques of friends hanging out. I have learned of one of my high school best friends are coming. I plan on mending a burned bridge with him. I hope. I kinda am the reason his high school sweet heart and he broke up. That is when I truly learned about “Bro’s before Ho’s.” Still thinking about it. I did the right thing. He was cheating on her. I just did not do it the right way. I want to tell him sorry. I guess I will see how it goes.
Sincerely,
Petyr The Great
