Seven years have passed, I feel like I must be a different person, so many things I have learned, so many things I have forgotten. And yet, looking back, things haven't really changed that much. I have two little girls now, that's new and exciting and different. It's something I certainly never would've expected back at the start of this journal in 2003. I have an amazing wife, a nice house, and a pretty sweet job. But the more things change, the more they stay the same. I'm still listening to chiptunes, still enjoying cyberpunk fiction, still keeping mostly to myself unless persuaded by others to venture out.
It's funny, I've been on a kind of nostalgia kick for a little while and I'm, what, 27? I'm feeling all mushy over things I did less than ten years ago. There are a handful of things I miss, but for the most part I feel happier now than I ever did during the times I'm reminiscing over. There's the initial wave of emotion, but if you go beyond that and really think about then compared to now, is it that much better? Is it that much different?
Anyway, it's past my bedtime and the likelihood of anyone reading this is slim.
G'night
