as the quarter-century approaches...
this is it. it doesn't get any more "adult" than 25. it's a terrible thing. let me tell you. i've never been the type to miss my past. but the topic of my "college days" has come up a lot lately. i still consider myself pretty care-free. but man, back then i was just plain reckless. i couldn't tell you how many times i left school early, or just didn't show up at all, for a little mid-week partying. or added a little kick to my free soda at work....horrible. i was telling my friend louie at work how a typical day for 21 year old dan was get up about 2 hours after class started. stay until lunch. then hit a bar. from there it was usually off to daves pool, hot tub, or basement, depending on the weather and our moods. then off to work, which wasn't all the bad until i lost my license. after which i would more often than not spent my entire shift "boozing it up". i've decided that, looking back, if i were to meet someone today who acted the same as i did when i was 21, i'd say to myself "damn...this guy has a problem. he'd better get himself to AA or prison or something to straighten himself out. i'm not sure what exactly it was that did it for me. maybe it wass claire. maybe the "real job" maybe just plain growing up. at any rate. i've come a long way. the other night at work, my buddy stayed overtime for the 1st time in months. and it also happened to be a night where our supervisor was out, unreplaced. all we did was take a little extra break and smoke cigars outside. but i was telling him how 4 years ago. this cigar would be a joint and this pepsi would be half bacardi. he agreed. how far we've come.
speaking of being old. the Bday's just 3 weeks away and my plan to go to vegas has failed. i need to find some friends with money...or maybe just friends in general. people to do the wild expensive things with. i suppose it's for the best though since paying for all the work to my car, plus the multi-thousand dollar retainer for the lawyer to help me get my license back, hasn't left all that much money in the old "fun fund". so instead i'm just gonna have a weekend long party in boston. eveyone's invited. so drop me a line if you'd like to join.
not much of a jorunal entry. i only really made it to make a certain few people happy. people that have been bugging me to post something....look my life is extremely uninteresting these days. if anything cool happen, you'll hear about it. promise
oh, i suppose i should write about quira. the girl who, for the passed few years or so, we've known as one of my closest friends. well, that came to a halt back in july. and it's left me feeling lost. it's not so much losing her that's tough...it wouldn't have ended if i didn't want it to. but i feel like now, i really don't have any CLOSE friends. regan, in a matter of months, has completely transformed his life. since july, he's gotten himself a SWEET government job as a state OT. moved into his 1st place, and of all places BEACON HILL. and gotten himself a girlfriend who lives in the same building as him. he'll still come around once in awhile but for the most part he's gone. Katlyn and i made amends awhile back. so now we're friends and evretyhing's great again. but it'll never be the way it used to be. sheila avoids me most of the time, cause she doesn't wanna walk :-P. my longtime partner in crime davey is pretty much shut out from the world, as his girlfriend coompletely controls his life. Jess C and i (nobody knows this) have actually recently "made nice" but i wouldn't dare be friends with her again. i still have plenty of friends but it seems the real close friendships are gone. i'm gonna have to pull an "i love you man" and start setting up man-dates.
