EPTI absolutely abhor the thought of getting older. I've been this way since i was a little kid. My ma tells me that i started saying it at the age of 7.
And i can't really pin point why. Maybe it's an acknowledgement that i'm edging ever close to my inevitable demise. I'm also pretty vain, and don't wish to lose what little charm i possess. That my balding will no longer be blended by a clever haircut. That my smile will be framed by slacking flesh. The day that i find a white/grey chest hair may possibly be the day i commit suicide.
But things keep getting better. I say this without exception; that life today is better than this day last year, and was true this day last year, and the year before that.
My direction is constantly evolving, and i love never knowing where i'm going or what's coming around the corner. This isn't to say that i don't have goals, but rather, i'm not married to any idea about 'how life should be'. Whether my disposition has influenced my quality of life is hard to prove, but i do find my life a very rich one.
For those friends of mine on teamliquid who have not heard from me in a while, i'd like to point-form you an update.
* I got promoted to Lead Designer on my project about 2 months ago
* I'm going down to E3 on Monday to do a presentation on my game. Then off to Irvine to visit a friend and get a tour of the Blizzard campus.
* I'm playing soccer 3 days a week (4.5 hours) and going to the gym 3-5 days a week; 9 hours of cardio and proper eating has made me lose 15 lbs in the last month. I feel fantastic.
* On Canada Day long weekend i will be going to Tofino, which is an awesome place to drink, be high, be in the sun, surf, and relax. I am going with my best friend.
* 2 weeks after that i'm going down to Portland for a soccer tournament. The league is a queer league, so out-of-town tournaments are all kinds of stellar debauchery.
* The sun came out today. We've not had much sun at all this year, and today finally felt like summer. I've not yet put my shirt on and i already have a tan. I couldn't ask for a better birthday present.
My life, now a quarter century, has been an awesome one. I am stoked at the thought of seeing what the next 25 years has in store.
Cheers
. Also, I'm glad Vancouver (you are there right?) finally started having sun this summer. It was getting depressing with all the standard vancouver weather going on.
haha
