wow....7 years ago I was 15, goddamn time goes.
I remember seeing the first s2000's roll around and telling myself I'll own one of those one day. 6 years later I got one.
So in the last 7 years I've...
-Got charged with several serious crimes
-Turned my life around because of it
-Graduated from highschool
-Met the girl I wanted to spend the rest of my life with
-Lost the girl I wanted to spend the rest of my life with
-Went through a bunch of crappy jobs before I finally found my career
-Bought me a s2k
-Just got promoted to management!
In the next couple of years I hope to get a new car and move into my own apartment. No roomies, no rent payments, just my mortgage and my stuff.
