a boy looks back.

Last year, on february 14th i looked at myself. i sat back, reflected on who i was at that time, who i hoped to be, and slowly realized... i didn't have a clue.

it's a year and a day later. truly, Tim of 2.14.09, had no idea what laid ahead of him. he had no idea he'd be spending 7 months waking up in Florida. no idea that he'd drop about 80 pounds. no IDEA.

i like that actually. i've been thinking about it a lot lately. if someone were to walk up with a schedule of the next 365 days of my life, and point out everything that would happen, every person i'd meet, every bump, bruise, and spill along the way. every high, every low, everything. it would suck. granted, a little guidance as to what's coming might be nice, but it's fun to take it as it comes.

a year and a day later, i'm still single. a year and a day later, i'm perfectly ok with it, for the first time. it's not a curse. it's not a blessing, it's kind of nice. for the first time, i'm not stressed by it.

i'm sitting here, 3 months away from graduation. not really sure what's coming after it. not really sure what's coming right now actually. i've started looking for jobs. a few companies come to visit my school in the next few weeks that i could be ok working for.

in 29 days, my friend James and i will be running an 8k. i would never ever EVER have believed that that's something that's going to happen. i'm still kind of in disbelief about it. i'm also doing the spring training road trip i've wanted to do since i've been in Arizona during that same time.

bryan's been posting a lot. i'm glad he is. although, he's posting along the same lines as i've been thinking.

i've been trying to post for a while. nothing i've written has made it. i've not really been sure what i've been trying to say, and as a result, they haven't made it.

it's 2010. two days before i graduate, i turn 22. then, it's out to the real world.
all that means, is i've got a lot of life to soak up between now and then.
