Turned 13...
So, I was out riding wheelies on my BMX by day, and sneaking peeks at skinimax by night! |

George Orwell was thinking...."Well crap. Unless all hell breaks loose in the next few months, I got my book all wrong!"

Lot of good movies that summer (see Wargames above). Good time for a 17 year old.
Oh and in Dec I got to swear to "Support the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic", my Father swore me in. |

ToneLoc, BBS, Wardialing and 300bps modems. Damn I miss the 80's and 90's. |

Marine Barracks in Beirut were bombed on October 23rd. This year marks the 28th anniversary.
When I was a young PFC our Company Gunny was a Beirut vet. God help the soul that didn't now the significance of Oct 28th 1983 if he asked you. |

We all almost died during Able Archer.
Grenada. Barracks Bombing. The absolute low-point of the Reagan Presidency. We should have leveled Hizbullah. |

I was 2, so I don't remember much.
When I look back, it makes me think of a time that I wish that I could have experienced as an older child. |

Freshman in HS.
Got my DL. First serious girlfriend. Endless hours of making out and watching MTV. |
|
Got my first "real" job as a technical writer, which was the first step on a career path that I'm still on.
