This past weekend, I finally got around to cleaning my desk in my room, since it had been slowly turning into a giant mountain of miscellaneous crap over the years. So as I moving stuff around and organizing things into a “keep” and “toss out” piles, I came across my high school binder that I had used my senior year. It had my class schedule, some classwork from my english class, and my unofficial high school transcript. It also had my SAT II score and a mini-flyer for One Vo1ce. Craziness.....

As you can see, I wasn't an over-achiever in high school. I was basically in the top 1/3, was about a B+ average. I actually had the opposite of senior-itis, where I got my best grades my senior year. Weird, huh?

Then I also found my old CD binder from what looks to be around 2000-2002. Some of the CDs were labeled, some weren’t. So I started listening to them, and it instantly brought me back to those times. And the unlabeled CDs, those were like opening gifts at Christmas. Shock, awe, surprise, it’s a crazy feeling, this nostalgia. I would go on, but I decided to dedicated my next post to just the CDs & songs in that CD binder, cause it’s a kind of a crazy mix. I completely forgot about how much Limp Bizkit and happy hardcore (rave) music that I used to listen to.

And finally......POGS!! Do I even have to explain this one? We had a family party at my parent’s house for one of my cousins & uncle. I don’t how it came up, but my cousins wanted to go to my room, cause apparently no one’s been up there in like forever. So they go up to my room, make fun of my 15” CRT monitor, and then randomly ask if I still have pogs. Since not throwing anything out is in my DNA, of course I still had pogs. They were right next to my Magic (The Gathering) cards. So yeah, for about 10 mins we brought pogs back, and then like that we were soo over it. We were kind of amazing that pogs were even a thing back then.
