My First Meme

This is the first time that I’ve been tagged for a meme. I’m a good week late.

What I was doing ten years ago

Summer of 1995…This would have been the summer that I spent as a beach bum/waiter in Myrtle Beach. I probably would have been pretty close to leaving and heading back to school which was a fiasco. There were four of us and 2 left early. Me and my friend that were left were to pack up everything and leave. His dad ended up having a heart attack and he flew out about a week early. I had to sell all the furniture that we had and pack everything that was left in my little Corsica and drive back alone.

What I was doing five years ago

Summer of 2000…Oh god, I was working and there is nothing memorable.

What I was doing one year ago

Summer of 2004…I was trying to arrange to go part time in order for me to attend school at work and preparing for a trip to Brazil which will happen in about a week.

Yesterday

Worked all day and started cleaning out my office in order to have a room for the person renting from me. Then I went to the bar to celebrate Chrispy’s new job. Woo-hoo.
