My Life in a nutshell:

Ok so I mentioned it in other entries in this journal, but for those who weren't paying attention. The speak freely webring is organizing a collaborative effort. This months effort is for each diarist to write an entry of their life so without further ado let me give you sections of my life till now:

0-14 catholic school time: For most of my pre-high school time I spent with the nuns and priest of our local catholic education center. It taught me alot and gave me most of my morals. i also learned that catholic school kids are far worse than public school. I think it is all that regimented structure of uniforms and ritual. people naturally rebel against it. During this time I formed a very strong bond with god. I was never an actively social kid in grammar school but the friends I remember from then were pretty solid. I regret not seeing them again. Unlike high school my glory days I always thought were in grammar school and I wonder where all those guys went to after we parted company and went off to high school.

14-17 High School: unlike grammar school I spent my high school times in public education. This was the biggest impact on who I am right now. I barely go out of it alive. I don't have many fond memories of the local high but I do have some vivid ones. I established my outgoing personality in this time. I also cultivate my sarcastic humor and my love of acting during this time. Like all kids high school is where they experience the most. I have battle scars still from that time but I wouldn't change a thing. My morals and my love of god came from grammar school ,everything else came from this time.

17-25 Just starting out and on my own. i learned alot about working and who I was from this time. I was the upstart kid who though he could rule the world. the companies I've worked for and the bull I put up with shaped my work environment and also solidified my traits and who I was. It again was a learning experience but I could say it also was a good time overall. Hard times yes but I met some great friends during this period who are still with me and probably will be for years to come.

25-now Ok this is where it gets interesting. In the first half of my work experience there was a climb and a next step to reach but during this time something happened. I lost my footing and couldn't climb anymore. This whole time was faced with loss of job security and confidence in myself, but like all bad times something good also came from it. About three to four years ago our company had internet access. I already had some experience with the internet from delphi but this was fast and graphical. I got hooked. In the next few years I would get hooked onto online soaps and the way the internet shared ideas and thoughts. About a year ago when the online community i loved fractured off a bit and there didn't seem to be an outlet for my free expression as much , I decided to give web authoring a try.

I created the site you see here. there were bumps and turns in this road but I really think that when I started these pages I was taking another turn in my life but didn't know it yet.5 years from now when I look back at this stuff I will see that this was another part of my life 30+. the time when everything before has set me up for. If I had to write this entry five years from now I have no idea what will go in 30+ paragraph. I do know that whatever it is it is nothing like what has come before and like all parts of our life a place to grow and learn and experience, only this time unlike the other parts of my life I am sharing it with the world.

Well that wasn't so hard. Tune in tomorrow for more exciting adventures of bacchus and his mighty quest for enlightenment.
