It makes me feel old when I browse to random people's Xanga sites and their birthday was in 1988 or something. Then their blogs are talking about Homecoming and stuff, or how their mom and dad are mean.

Most of the people I know miss college, including myself. I wonder how many people miss high school though. I was talking to Olivia about it last night and she definitely doesn't miss her high school years. Me, I'm kind of indifferent. Other than my last year there, I basically had no life outside of school anyways. Oh, except maybe for math team.

Anyways, my theory is that if you were one of the select few people that had the time of your life in high school, then you probably ended up fizzling out early in college. It's like you are already in a comfort zone in high school, and college forces you to leave that security behind. (Think of Mike Dexter in "Can't Hardly Wait"). So you get to college, and expect everything to be exactly the same way, smooth sailing and all, while the fact is that you still have a lot of growing to do as a person before all is said and done.

But for the majority of us, high school was an awkward stage, and college turned out to be the time of our lives. It's like the 4 years when we kind of "settled into our own skin" and started to actually figure out our own identity, and feel comfortable with it. Meanwhile, you're also figuring out who your real friends are and building relationships that last a lot longer than the ones you had in high school.

Then, I guess there's the people who don't enjoy high school or college, I don't know what becomes of them. Maybe they are the ones who end up being super successful like Bill Gates, some Hollywood director, or Nobel-prize winning cancer researcher.

I haven't seen a movie in the theater lately. There's been a bunch that I kind of want to see. Since Piya doesn't recommend movies a lot, I'm gonna expect an awesome movie out of Kill Bill. Also, I heard Mystic River was good, and I want to check out School of Rock. Jack Black is pretty funny, but the clincher is that I heard Sara Silverman is in it too, and I think she is one of the most hilarious people in the world. Right up there with Chris Rock, Mike Myers, Adam Sandler, and Conan O'Brien.

When Aaron Boone jacked that walkoff home run last night, I laughed so hard. Cubs fans, I kind of feel sorry for, but I've got no sympathy for Boston fans at all. I wish they showed the "Boston bar" camera during yesterday's game like they did for the Jokeland series, so I could see all of their shattered faces. First with the "stomach punch" when the Yankees tied it up in the 8th, and then the inevitable "kick in the nuts" to officially lose Game 7 in the 12th inning.
