Thirty years of life lessons summed up in a list.

I would like to say that I came up for the idea for this entry all on my own, but I do have to give credit to [Zen Habits]. I took their idea of condensing one's life and the lessons they've learned to bullet points. I want to somehow sum up what each year of my life taught me (if that is at all possible...there were a few years where things are hazy).  Here's my thinking, spend some time and reevaluate your life. Try to sum up each year of your existence in a few sentences. Could you do that? Well I will damn well try.



  1. When sperm and egg unite, good things happen. However, when that good things comes out, bad things happen.
  2. Small package, big destructive possibilities and a nemesis [little sister] joins the fray.
  3. Nightmares are never fun, but Coca-cola is awesome!
  4. Who needs reading and writing when I have a tricycle, Hi-C and Legos.
  5. One year in Kindergarten and all I took from it, was me staring at a corner all day long.
  6. Catholic schools are not just for Catholics
  7. The year that Santa Claus died (and Teddy Ruxpin)
  8. Cheaters never win, but they can hold out until they get what they want.
  9. Sometimes it's hard to say good-bye to your old life and hello to new beginnings. Especially if those new beginnings are in a place that is humid and hot.
  10. Greg, the computer and the time wasted playing Number Muncher
  11. The Un-wonder years
  12. A diamond in the rough. And someone finally believes in me!
  13. Position 69 is what? And what are the other 68? (actually question I had asked someone)
  14. High School...it's like OZ, but without the prison rape and killings.
  15. Videogames, Girls and Playboy magazines
  16. Racism...when it hits you, it's hits you deep.
  17. Being smart has it's upsides, being a smart-ass well that's just being awesome!
  18. Embarking on a new journey and this time I'm going at it alone.
  19. It's great to be a Florida Gator!
  20. The first loss is the hardest the bear.
  21. How tragedy can bring together a nation and teach you that life does continue.
  22. Sister's crashes my non-existent Bachelor pad
  23. Breaking out of the comfort zone and knowing to finally hold your liquor and learning how to dance.
  24. Graduating from college. Nothing beats that feeling.
  25. Graduated from college and all I got was this stinking job.
  26. Sake, Sushi and Strippers.
  27. Relationships are never meant to last forever
  28. New city, new place, new life...new money!
  29. House of cards come crashing down
  30. Adventures are best served with a cold drink and hot women.
