5 years ago...
Had just finished Freshman year at JMU... Was dating Jessica, was driving a '91 Accord DX, spent most of my time playing Counterstrike, was working an internship at Road Runner.
1 year ago...
Was "working" at AOL. Most of my team was gone at this point and the remaining few of us were putting in maybe 3 hours a day. I was still dating Jessica, and was driving my Civic.
Now...
Working at Anystream, and loving it. Living in the MM Arlington house with G and BJ. Rarely talk to Jessica anymore... Hindsight is 20/20 as they say... Damn, she wasn't right for me. Civic is rarely driven, S2000 is daily, and I'm out of shape.
Year from now...
Assuming we get some new funding, still working at Anystream, not driving an S2000 (I'm thinking something with 4 doors, a turbo, and AWD... Subaru or Volvo methinks). Still living in the MM Arlington house, banging hot bitches, etc, etc. I'll be back in shape as well. Maybe I'll even figure out what I want to race. At the very least, I'll be instructing.
5 years from now...
I'll either be done with the car thing or I'll be racing. I will hopefully have been able to move to North Carolina or California. Both would take my friends moving down there or me meeting "the one" and moving with her. I'll be driving something really sweet every day, and maybe even owning a house. If I stick around here, I'd like to buy something close to the city.
