So my girlfriend broke up with me last night, again. Turns out she'd done it about a month ago, but so vaguely that I couldn't even tell. Awkward. (Something something real high school nowaypablo) Anyway, that got me thinking about all the things I miss about the nebulous concept that is "my old life". I miss how carefree everything seemed back in preschool. I miss the focus and incredible sense of fulfillment of working full-time for 2 weeks on a Shakespeare play (summer camp). I miss (for lack of a better term) the brotherhood that arose at that camp. I miss having someone to confide in.

I want to know what you guys miss. What do you wish you still had? What do you stay up late thinking of? Why do you miss it? Do you really miss it, or just your idealized memory of it? Go ahead. Let's be nostalgic together.

I miss my daughter. She is visiting my parents for 2 weeks and that's just way too long.

I miss my band

I miss my friends and family

I miss John Lennon and George Harrison

I miss my dog Hemingway.

I miss birthdays being something to be excited about.

I miss Rollerama

I miss playing tennis at night

I miss breakdancing

I miss Montana

I miss mixed tapes

I miss the sound the VCR made when you loaded/ejected a tape

I miss not having actual responsibilities

I miss acting

I miss crushes

I miss Elliott Smith

I miss Kurt Cobain

I miss Jeff Buckley

I miss my grandma Rameriz's tamales

I miss my Oma's fresh baked bread

I miss being 165 pounds

I miss road head

I miss catholic school

I miss smoking pot

I miss spring breaks

I miss it all... but everything I miss pales in comparison with everything I'm excited for.

edit: Sorry about the breakup pal. -Never easy.
