Did I Say That?!

Since I am slamming into my 30th year of life, I thought I'd take a look back on some of the things I said, did, or really really wanted to do.

I can look back and find the humor in them (trust me, I laugh at everything...no matter how inappropriate), and still find some relevance.  I really am as smart/funny/witty as I think I am...

From March 2006:

Beer Goggle Revelations

Do you ever have these intense moments of clarity.....where you finally realize that something you did/said/want to do/thought was maybe disarranged..... (Could it be the beer goggles?)

Revelations sans beer goggles:

• You already have one asshole. You don't need another one.
• No matter how far you travel or how much you run from it...you can never escape your past.
• There's a really big difference in being lonely and being alone!!!
• A string of bad dates does not equal one really great one.
• Hanging out is not dating.
• 20 year olds don't have drama.....because they haven't lived life yet!
• Buying shoes makes you feel good...
• It's still not easy to just walk away.
• You should never settle for settling.
• Cheating is cheating. It doesn't matter whom it was with or how many times it happened...
• If you hate the way a guy eats his cereal or how he chews in his sleep....you don't really like him.
• You may never get a second chance.
• Memories are just that....Memories.
• If he's not all yours...he's still hers.

It's safe for me to say that most of these are still true, but if I could go back five years, I would tell myself to not be so serious.  When you spend a lot of time letting people waste yours, you reach a point when enough is enough. 

Those who know me well, know that I exude an "abrasive" exterior (maybe out of fear, maybe out of exhaustion), but they always know what they are going to get from me.  This is where my filter (lack there of) comes in... I say what I want, I say how I feel, without regard. 

To some, this may be a fault, but to me.....I think I'm on to something...
