I graduated from High School 22 years ago.
Not in touch with anyone anymore.
Randomly looking up people on google, most can't be found.
One jock became a cop in my home town.
Couple people became middle school teachers.
The smartest annoying guy is a Ph.D doctor in Iowa
The one quiet, smart girl from the republican family now is a emo bartender covered in tattoosI wonder where everyone else ended up. Maybe just doing what their parents did. I wonder if they're happy or ever had dreams.
- I saw recently a classmate from 25 years ago is a cop now. He was a bully then, now he's a bully with a uniform.BuddhaHat
- dreams are dead when bills are duepango
- i also know a highschool mate becoming a cop. A total gun nut with stupid looking beard. Good person tho.pango
- I randomly checked my facebook after about a decade of non-use. Everyone is fat, and fat with children to boot. Kind of depressing and dreamless.garbage
- Fat with children is awesome.monospaced
- ya it's normal. so many models and dancers i know are all round now. lol but they look happy. it's hard to keep up when you're approaching 40s with kids.pango
- Eh, if you think "fat with children is awesome", you do you. That sounds so lazy and defeated to me.garbage
- mehhh i wouldn't say fat. but they all look like average people now.pango
- my wife of almost 14years only gained an inch in her waist. i've gained 2... not bragging but you know, i actually do.pr2
- @garbage you know what they see when they look at your profile? you're the guy who got stuck and accomplished nothing.sted
- *its worth mentioning that i have no idea or any concept who you are :)sted
- @garbage - you're hard to follow. Kids take a lot of energy, and when you have kids you have to work harder, and you sacrifice more. Fatherhood is FAR from lazycanoe
- @garbage - how can parents be defeated when they chose to have kids? I don't get your logic, assumptions or problem?canoe
- @garbage - I'm rolling with sted on this one, because everyone that I know who hasn't had kids because their too selfish hasn't grown up and are rather broken..canoe
- ...because they've never experienced caring for anything or anyone more then themselves.canoe
- Furthermore, musicians, artists, business people, etc, all keep their dream alive despite kids or trying to maintain their weight while prioritizing loved ones.canoe
- Like I said, I don't get it, but then again you saw some people you don't even talk to anymore and labeled them lazy and defeated. What the fuck ever.canoe
- @all I actually said "you do you", so I don't know why the fathers of QBN are slipping in my DMs.garbage
- I personally don't think kids are remotely interesting, and I don't think it's ethically responsible to drag a child into this current state of things.garbage
- But also everyone do their own things. I just think kids are boring anchors. I've watched people much more talented than me become boring drones.garbage
- Everyone says "oh but when you look at them in the eyes".. I don't get that at all. But I'm also not saying don't be gushy about your own kids.garbage
- It's just.. I don't care. My brother has done me the disservice of making me a double-uncle, and I could not tell you my other nephew's name.garbage
- Yah you said, 'you do you', and then followed up with your interpretation of them being them - lazy and defeated.canoe
- And now I'm being irresponsible, ethically speaking, because I have a child? Time to take out the garbage. See ya!canoe
- mehhh i also wouldn't put parents on pedestal. almost everyone in human history did. take it down notch lol. all i'm saying is, its ok to be happy.pango
- Yeah, I don't get the misunderstanding. Maybe some people don't find kids interesting or cute? I don't, but I wasn't impugning anybody that does.garbage
- Calm down, and Happy Crimbo.garbage
- the chance is you will start to gain weight in about a decade time as well. good luck lolpango
- Ha, no chance. I work out daily and tend to stay away from garbage foods. I think my body type is "shorter white Kevin Durant".garbage
- My friends actually call me "Lanky Bastard", and you can too.garbage
- just you wait. people might skip the lanky part :Ppango
- I'll prove you wrong pangz! Hope you're having good holidays homie.garbage
- Horp14
LOL
Just logged back in to write a SERIOUSLY LONG post in blog. Finished it, hit send, and it promptly disappeared.

Merry Christmas QBN. Thanks for being the only place left on the internet that I drop in on daily for my entertainment and commentary on life.

I'm thinking of my mortality lately.

I had a dream last night that I got robbed by tinkers/gypsies.
They sat down next to me at a festival and got me distracted, then stole my laptop and all my stuff but left so stealthily by the time I noticed things were missing they were packed up and leaving like some circus carnies, getting the fuck out of town.
I remember thinking, damn they were so clever to distract me working as a team like that, pretending not to know each other.
Bloody nightmare.

Any job or work I ever get is through people I know or people I know recommending me for things.

Remember when you could look up EVERYONE on Facebook (or to some extent Instagram), and snoop through all their post to see exactly what that old classmate from 24 years ago was doing with their life?
That's no longer the case.
Good.
- i mostly post slight passive aggressive jabs at people. but then people thought i wasn't serious and thought it's funny....pango

Patchouli does smell kinda nice. Not sure why it got a bad rap because of hipsters & hippies.
- Because nobody liked hippies and hipsters.i_monk

The Danish queen abdicated, she broke the news at her speech new years eve. Her son will become the king on january 14th.
I don't care for monarchy. A total, utter anachronism in 2024.
However.
She always seemed like a good, warm person, who very genuinely cared about our country and its people. And she's been a very notable and integral part of Danish culture, however you felt about her.
She gave her last new years speech yesterday. She always adds "God save Denmark", but this year she added "And God save all of you". Got seriously choked up, as did a lot of the people who I watched the speech with.
Apparently she means something to me.

3 mile walk at 7am with the dogs in freezing 27°F weather? I’ll consider that an excellent beginning to the year.

I spent more hours than I am comfortable disclosing reducing my Google storage from 14.32GB down to 10.28GB. Not sure it was the best use of my time, but I do have a sense of satisfaction.
