Coming back from the underground.
I have been a member of Facebook for a year or so. I just put a picture and posted my info due to the wave of people deleting their myspace accounts and moving to greener pastures. Quite frankly I did not want to see many people from my past, I hardly remember it and I am not sure how much more I want to learn. The whole idea of living in the past is not extremely interesting to me.
Maybe it is due to the fact I am having severe hairline issues and am quickly approaching middle age, but I do have some recent interest in revisiting my past. It has been pretty overwhelming, tons of people whom I have not seen since June 1996, back in my life. Very wild stuff I tell ya. So I am kind of on a quest to connect the dots to my past. Shit, I even opened up some of my old year books to retrieve some of these memories. I was kind of surprised to see the number of phone numbers from the ladies in there and how stupid I was never to pursue the matter further. There were also a number of things in there about me being "unique." I kind of digged seeing that I was even going against the grain in the worst times for conformity.
I'd like to think with old age I have held on to a number of those enduring qualities while ridding myself of those of the less enduring nature.

we should have a cure for baldness by now. seriously, can't they do some stem cell shit or genetic engineering or something? and no, I have absolutely no qualms about that. ethics my ass, I need my hairline back.
also, apropos de facebook. I have no interest in reconnecting with 97% of the people from my high school years (unless they are successful stem cell researchers and would like to cure my hair loss problem...for free) but, I've noticed that, slowly but surely, as more people come onboard, I'm getting random messages from people I used to know.
I find it unsetting.
Understand. I think having kids and seeing them grow up makes you look backwards in time a little bit more. Suprisingly no one has brought up any of my dickhead actions yet.
