Old is new again...

Do you ever go looking at something that you yourself did so long ago that you've forgotten it, and then you get to be impressed by your own self? Last week I was reading short stories that I'd written some 5 to 8 years ago and I couldn't remember how they ended so they were really interesting. I was like "Wow, this author really knows how to push my buttons."

Today I was looking through those BBMB cards in the sureshots section. I may have seen mine once before or something, but I'd certainly forgotten it, and I'd never seen the ones with Bobs comments on them. Anyway, when I saw that I had said "I love the smell of America in the morning" that made me laugh out loud. Totally sounded like something I would say. Have no recollection of saying it, but I'm sure I probably timed it well.

Why yes, just the other day I was happening along in the usual way and recalled myself bragging about things that I had done before that were clever and witty, and the bragging was so essentric but totally onpoint that I began to rebrag about it all.

Guess I'll go eat worms.

I started reading my Boondocks comic strip collections again. Still funny the fourth time around.

haha, I found a piece I wrote in 2001 the other month that I had forgotton about but at the time thought was good, read it back and thought 'this is awful' so I pulled it out and burnt it.

So, no. I'm more improving with age imho. But I suppose I'll hit a plateau one day and start to go down hill like the rest of you?

I kid.

Gosh thanks Adam.

So other than that how've you been?

Yeah, I know what you're talking about! recently I was cleaning my room and found some old essays and poems I wrote like 4 years ago... I was completely shocked to how good they were... not to brag, but I can see why my english teacher gave me an A
I'm still in college and don't know what to do... maybe I should consider writing... I should give my local newspaper a call

Writing is good times.

I'm still very bad at writing btw. Just improving from terrible to very bad - so it was a compliment on my planet


That reminds me, I was gonna buy your book and then didn't. I don't have any money now tho :-( But I will

edit: I remember now - I didn't because I couldn't work out if the price would include shipping to the UK. Cus I assumed it didn't and couldn't add a shipping to it. Surprised I didn't e-mail ya or something. But when I make some money, you can have some of it in exchange for a book.
