    You: Then and Now

    How are you different from 2009 than where you were in 2000?

    2000 - A completely unconfident freshman/sophomore in high school who was just starting to learn how to make friends. Wanted to write movies for a living.

    2009 - 25 years old. Work in sports television. Run a successful "indie rock" website that is growing at a nice rate each month. Have a pretty serious girlfriend.

    2000- Freshman/Sophomore in High School, Balling, five star camps causing my mom grief with my foolishness

    2009- 25 year Jr. Network Systems engineer. Living on my own, bought myself a Dodge Charger with the works. Turned in my playa card, getting serious with one girl. Loving life, i am able to do what I please with proper budgeting. Now I can spoil my mom as she nears retirement from school teaching, and thats the absolute best feeling.

          2000 - 1st year of working after graduating college. Moved back in with my parent's after college so I was able to save a lot of money, but really wasn't sure how to handle a career and basically was just trying to figure out what I wanted from life and where I wanted to be in the next few years.

          2009 - Married, building a house with my wife, working etc... Much more stress now as compared to then, but I know exactly what I want in life and where I want to be.

                        No big changes for myself. Same wife, same house, same job. The biggest change in my life over the last 10 years has been my kids growing up.
                        2000 - 1, 4 and 10.
                        Now - 10, 13 and 19.

                          2000- Graduating HS just knew I was gonna fiinish college in 4 , then go into radio and or teaching.

                          2009- Have a year and a half of college, taken many different jobs (now 27) and have lots of great "experiences" but manage a manufacturing tool store, after several low-potential media jobs. Thinking of learning web design,etc. just so I don't get passed by vocationally.

                          ...generally mark my life as an epic fail.

                            2000 was a life-changing year.

                            In west Baton Rouge I was born and raised, On the playground was where spent most of my days. Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool everyday,
                            And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school, When a couple of guys who were up to no good startin making trouble in my neighborhood I got in one little fight and my mom got scared. She said "You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Watson"

                            I whistled for a cab and when it came near the license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror. If anything I can say this cab is rare. But I thought 'Now forget it' - 'Yo homes to Watson'

                            I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 And I yelled to the cabbie "Yo dude you need a ****in shower" I looked at my kingdom,I was finally there, time to sit on my throne as the Prince of the middle of nowhere.











                            I had a hard childhood.
