I have a feeling that Version 28 will be much better than Versions 27 and 26. Though I have to say, Version 21 was pretty dang cool. I'm a little bit (read: a lot) curious about what's in store for Version 28. My girlfriend seems like she's plotting something, but she won't divulge any details, other than the obvious. She wanted to take me tubing, but if I'm not allowed to work, then I most certainly can't go floating down a grimey river. My bosses are going to take us out to dinner in the evening to this Japanese restaurant that they've been raving about. Outside of that, I have no clue.

27 was a really good year for me, on many multiple levels. Actually, now that I think of it, I've been dreading getting older because I've been afraid that the daily drudgery of work would only get worse as the years wore on. Such is not the case anymore. I've learned a lot about life, love, adventure, passion, risk, and fear in the last year. Life doesn't have to get worse day by day. It can get better, and it has. The coffee shop has been a tremendous blessing to me for the last 10 months, as has my girlfriend for the last 2 months. Leaving unnamed technology company was probably one of the best moves I've ever made. While there exists the possibility of me ending up there again, now that I've tasted the Juice of the Cup of Adventure, I think (hope) it would be that much harder to end up an empty, depressed code monkey again.

Anyway, time to move on.... :-)


UPDATE: 13 Jun 2006, 1:32: Arguably the best birthday ever. At least it's right up there with 21. :-)
