hardtoexplain

kinda funny...was thinking about when i joined this site all those years ago...it was the one year anniversary of sg...plunked down a few bucks...was at a crossroads in my life and needed something to do...after a few weeks of posting and shit, went to my first get-together...was fun...started going all the time...drinking all the time...started going to portland a lot...met sheitloads of really cool people...my life started to change...so many people to keep in touch with it was overwhelming, but hella fun...went to countless shows...drank...partied...shows...got laid every once and a while...did this for a few years straight...then work changed and i wasn't able to stay out late anymore...started to chill a bit...dated a few great girls...managed to fuck that up because i was/am a tard and still need to learn to be less selfish...this continued for a while...started dating the girl that i'm still with today almost four years later...still work too much and too early...rarely go to shows anymore unless it's a band i fucking love...and i guess i'm no longer "cool" (don't know that i ever was, just had great friends)...now, i'm older, 31, almost grown up...sounds so old, yet i feel 21 at best...still on sg despite being zotted a few years ago, back when the site was cool...now, in my last few months of sg, i felt like reflecting a bit...it almost feels like that was another person when i look at those old party pics these days...it was fun...i don't miss those time exactly, but i remember them fondly as i head into my early 30's...this might not make a lot of sense to 18-24 year old who maybe reading this, but one day it will...now i'm that guy who says shit like "when i was your age"...makes me laugh...that's it...sorry if misspelled anything, but i'm not gonna go back and correct anything...here is an old pic from those good old days.....and now......that's it.
