Whoever said that the older you get the faster things move was really onto something. I mean, it feels like just yesterday that I was babyfaced and getting hit with the realization that I was on my own the moment my parents drove home from dropping me off at college. Now? Geez!! My friends are getting married.

We went down to Mineral, VA to stay at a lake house on the Virginia cider trail. Great time, by the way- lots of fun memories were made. But, something like this really does hit you over the head with a surge of "THIS IS HAPPENING!!!" Life is life, and restlessly marching forward is the burden of time itself. I need to remember to stop and smell the roses every once in awhile. I mean, seriously- the last 6 months of my camera roll look like a desert with tumbleweeds blowing around. That is to say that I've captured very little of my life.

I've always lived for the excitement, you know? The thrill of walking into a room of strangers and capturing their attention. It's the same drive that makes me so good at my sales job. Relationship building, getting into things, seeing them through, and drumming up stories. Joey- good luck in the next chapter of your life. You're awesome and I know that you will be the happiest man alive. (Except for me with my girlfriend, who I am incidentally moving in with this May.) And thank you for indirectly reminding me to focus on Ryan Skees.

Hands down- something that I've never been very good at is keeping up with or caring for any of the sports that people love to talk about.
This, of course, is my dad's fault. He was an early proponent of home computers and video games. He LOVES them, and did even more when I was younger. As such, while others crew up watching the Pittsburgh Steelers, I grew up playing Warcraft 3. #noregrets

crustiest superbowl picture of all time, probably
But, this does create a little bit of confusion for me when I am blending into a football watch party. I was outed when I called the end zone the "touchdown zone." (and YIKES- I did not live this one down)
Anyone else out there in this boat with me- smile & wave boys, smile & wave.
P.S. - To clarify, I like basketball, soccer, golf, & tennis. Those are fun to watch. Anything else, no.

Classic. The flu is making its way around JMU. Truly, a tale as old as time. What do you expect when the student body spends its weekends crammed as close to each other as possible? Sickness is a wildfire.
I didn't realize that I had been suffering as bad as I was until I woke up today. Every morning, I put in my contacts. The same prescriptions that I've had for eight years. My left eye is x80 and the right x100. However, as I hunched over my sink, I couldn't remember where they went. It was almost terrifying how easily it slipped my mind.
In any case- lots of tea, honey, and rest will hopefully make this full recovery come sooner.
