A DECADE COME, A DECADE GONE...

So thinking back to the last 10 years, I got a bit of a laugh when re-hashing what was going down in NYE of 1999/2000:

-I was working for THE GAP...
-I listened to a lot of House and Trance... obsessed w/ Ibiza...
-I was living with my roomate Kalvin in Vancouver, BC on Barclay St.
-But I was actually w/ my mother in Crescent City, CA... where we had hit up a Safeway to grab a few things and I had passed out in the middle of the bread aisle...
-A woman whom I had never met had given me $10,000 USD.
-I had been to only 10 countries (more or less) at that very time
-I was 22
-We had just adapted to a transient lifestyle, once again...

It's amazing how much can happen in 10 years... how fast time flies...

-I work as a recruitment consultant for Bombardier, for the time being...
-I am now rediscovering my love of '80's and '90's music - simply because most of what is put out today sucks...
-My roomate is a bear named Annie (Wait! That didn't change...)
-We finally got ourselves a house in Granada Hills, CA (come visit!)
-I'll be spending NYE here with the so-called family
-I wouldn't mind another "donor" since my scholarship didn't cover everything, and I partied a little too hard with my loans, and decided to not work right out of uni and travel...
-I do not know how many countries I have actually visited because I stopped counting between 60-70...
-I am 32, yet I still get carded when buying cigarettes and/or alcohol... YAY!
-And now we are adapting to having a "real home"...

Funny how life works?
