To be honest, I kind of hoped I would be well-past the 1,000 mark by now, but the last few years of my life have just been boring as far as blogger is concerned. Obviously that is changing in 2011, so I am looking forward to hitting 1,000 posts sometime early next year. It will be one hell of a celebration.
While I look forward to the future in many areas of my life, I have recently looked back in my past to find something rather disturbing: I am a clueless, anti-social asshole.
Okay, so I am exaggerating a bit on that diagnosis. However, I recently downloaded my entire Facebook profile - dating to 2004 - and looked over a good majority of my interactions with friends between 2004 and 2006.
To summarize: I was wanted by dozens of daily friends. I did a hell of a job balancing my work, school, social, and personal lives. I was presented several blatant dating opportunities and passed them all up. I loved writing (productively) and bragged about it all the time. In short, I was active, friendly, and from the look of things, in my social prime.
Was I just naive back then? Where did my overly-social side go? Why can I not focus on all aspects of my life as well as I used to? So many questions, so few answers.
Looking back on a storied past can be exciting, scary, or even painful. My past is a mix of the good, the bad and the ugly. Ultimately, however, my past is one that I always try to learn from, and by spending an hour tonight reliving my past, I feel I have a better idea of who I am today.
B3 out.
