You know what I miss? When there were things that I knew for sure. At one point in my life, I was absolutely positive that I was going to be a catcher for the Yankees. Turns out I was off a bit there.
In fact, it seems like every day that things I knew for sure are no longer true. Remember when Kobe Bryant was a fan favorite for his fresh faced enthusiasm and his overall goodness? Turns out that wasn't, well, let's just say that was off a bit.
I always thought that I would live in NJ as soon as college was over. That thought lasted through freshman year of college.
I was convinced that I would never find a job I liked. I've found a few. Now I wouldn't mind finding some more.
When I got to college I thought that I would party like I never had before. Who knew our high school parties were so crazy? (Although, as I've learned over the last few years, a well-thrown Pig Roast can be a pretty kick-ass party..)
Until recently, I KNEW that the Red Sox would never win a World Series, and it had never occurred to me that the Patriots could even be in the Super Bowl, never mind in the Dynasty conversation. Also? Drew Bledsoe, at one time, was an elite quarterback!!! Heh.
What else? I could on and on about how we KNEW there was NO FUCKING WAY a majority of people could possibly vote for Bush, but as it turns out? We were right about that.
I knew, KNEW that I was as different from my parents as any people could be. And then I found myself talking politics and agreeing with my mother! The horror, the horror!
It turns out that the longer I live, and the more I learn, the less I know. Crap.

You didn't know shit then. Now, at least you take good cues from others.
Nope, that's one thing I know for sure. Most other people are as full of shit as I am.
