In the year 2007…

I wanted to see more fat, unhappy people at my 10 year reunion, just kidding… sorta. Even the women that have had 3 kids were in great shape. Most of the graduates that showed up were just like me. They wanted to show off their signifcant other and their new clothes. Of course I felt I had the best looking wife. She wore a sun dress showing off her long legs. I wore a red striped oxford shirt to match her. Yes we were twinkies but I voted us as best dress. Everyone else was looking cool in tshirt and ripped up jeans. It was mostly the preps that showed up and there were still cliques. However, there did seem to be a genuine quality to everyone that I said hi to. Except a couple of guys I was cordial to but there was not much to speak about.

All in all most people that were there turned out the way that I thought they would. There was a couple a women that I dated back in the day that I wished that had showed up. I guess it was for the best. I am almost sure they turned out fat and unhappy. OK, OK there are two that I am sure of it. There is two others that have fallen off the Earth and have no idea what they are up to.

Anyway I was driving last night and had only a couple of beers. We left pretty darn early. We had to get back to our dogs. Everyone else there had a babysitter and were getting drunk. Before I left and saying my goodbyes I got a couple of phone numbers, oh yeah! Actually I have a couple old friends numbers that I want to play golf with sometime in the near future.

Reuniting with some old friends is always some of the best times.

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
