I remember when I first learned of Peak Oil, it seemed like the world was falling around my shoulders. The more I read, the more I freaked out. I remember telling everyone I knew that the sky was falling. I remember thinking I needed to start getting prepared... I though everything would collapse around my head that very year.
Turns out, that things take a heck of allot longer that I orginally thought.
I remember Bird Flu, I thought for sure that 10's of thousands were going to die last winter. I knew I needed to get some theraflu and other rmediciation and stock up. Turns out :: Nothing
I remember Y2K -- Nothing here, I knew since day one this was a pile of crap.
I remember my virginity: I remember wondering if I was ever going to get laid, Then I remember the akward moment is which I lost it. Then realizing sex is great and then fighting like hell to get more.
I remember getting shot in afganistan, I remember the bullet tearing through my side and the intense fire that followed. I remember the second shot ripping through my rotator cuff and tossing me to the ground. Then I remembered nothing till 12 hours later.
I remember the day I lost my best friend in an accident at fox river where he dived in and broke his neck and shattered his spinal cord. I remember holding him in my arms and watching him gasp for his last breath and then nothing.
I remembered that time in which I wasted three hours hanging out at peakoil.com, when I should have been writing my paper for ENG 221, no wait that is happening now.
