My sister Natalie asked me if I have a blog. I said no. She was telling me about hers and all the friends she has linked to. Lots of folks from high school and what not.
I can't relate to the need to keep in contact with folks from then. I think it has to do quite a bit with the fact that I'm not the person I was then. Socially, emotionally, physically, religiously, psychologically, sociologically... well I probably still take myself too seriously... but I'm working on that.
I was also contacted by a friend I met fleetingly 15 years ago. It's funny how folks are driven to look others up. I guess there are parts of my life where I still try to keep in touch with folks. Certain missionaries I served with in Spain. Select folks from high school. You can't help but bump into them living back where you grew up. Business colleagues, and contacts from projects past.
I'm by no means belittling the efforts of others... hey if that's your thing, that's great. That era of my life is just not interesting to me. Could be the damage I did to my head as a cheerleader.

The more I read this post the more I feel like an asshole. I'm really not that pretentious.... am I?
Oh well... I don't care for my high school years... that's where I'll leave it. I'm the guy who will never be at the reunion.
