The weekend came and went as it seems to do as I get older. Friday night was filled with twisting balloons as usual. Saturday, I indulged in my fantasy football addiction by driving down to Bloomington to partake in the third of five fantasy football drafts scheduled for this year. As is a tradition when I roll through my old college town, I try and end it on a high note by picking up a LaBamba’s burrito before I hit the road, and I am thankful I did. It’s same that something so stupid as a burrito makes me happy, but it does.
On Sunday, we wrapped up my wife’s birthday week celebration with tickets to the Cubs game. Some firsts happened in my life after the game, and I’m not able to speak of the events yet, but I will be able to soon. It’s not often that I experience first times in my life for anything and when they do, I don’t really know how to react. I wish I could elaborate more, but in a few weeks more will come out about it because lately I have been experiencing many firsts.
I haven’t posted much on here about Facebook, but I am a big fan. Within the past two months of being on it, I have been reunited with friends that I haven’t seen since the 6th grade. Since I moved around a ton as a child, gaining new friends and saying goodbye to them was a common event. Just in my sixth grade year, I managed to go to four different schools. Even after losing touch with some of my closest friends from high school, face book has brought us together again. It’s like a chain reaction. One friend finds you, and they are linked to other friends, and before you know it, you have 20-30 people that you haven’t spoken with in 15-20 years emailing you. It’s funny to see how people have turned out over the years. You know the story…the geek’s are now body builders…and the thin and beautiful are now fat. It isn’t really that dramatic, but there has been a few surprises sprinkled in my reunions. One thing I will say for sure is that based on some of my ex girlyfriends online pictures, I am thankful I jumped ship when I did.
