I thought by now I'd be in grad school trying to get my PhD, but I abandoned that plan. I have a great job, great girlfriend, etc. etc. It's really all working out way better than I thought it would, even 6 months ago. The only big problem I have is student loans, but without any other debt (no car loan, no credit card, etc.) I should be able to knock that out quickly and become rich before Im 40. The first million is the hardest, though.
I think this is the first thing youve said that I agree with. ;)Quote:

I'm not playing pro football (NFL, Europe, Canada or AFL) so no, I'm not where I thought I'd be. Althought I stoped wanting that around my sophmore year in HS.
Fair enough.Quote:

Real life is fucking depressing.
Though I do have a slight bit of optimism for the remaining 4 months of the year.
I have a book that I wrote when I was like 4 or 5 called "Matt the elf" about an elf named Matt who worked for Santa to make videogames for the children of the world. He ended up saving Christmas (which I haven't done), but the point is, yeah, I have always wanted to do what I do. I'll have to scan this and post it for all to see. It is pretty shitty/hilarious.Quote:

I expected to have my driver's license by now, but eh, whatever. I'm on path for some small-size scholarships and I'll probably end up in a decent University in-state come next year, so all's well.
Master, post that book, sounds pretty funny. I remember writing a book in kindergarten about a gerbil, that could fly. I found it in a box last year cleaning out the basement, it was a nice laugh.
The important part is FOLLOWING THROUGH AND MAKING IT HAPPEN!Quote:

I don't have very high expectations for when I get older, so at least that guarantees I won't be too disappointed in the near future.
