Even when you do poke fun at yourself you usually follow it up with something sarcastic like "Your rival has won the war of life because he has a better car than you." As they are they come across as kind of arrogant, which is fine if thats what you're going for I guess. You know, I think these articles could use a little more self-deprecating humor.

Then they got out in life, got knocked up out of wed-lock and it was all crap after that, and now they look to high school like it was the best time of their life because they had their whole life ahead of them...but they dropped the ball. Think of it this way: If you had a mediocre at best job that lasted about 12 or 13 years, and it was mediocre at best, and now you have a better job...would you want to revisit any part of the old crappy job? No? That's what a reunion is...a mediocre at best experience. Lastly, I wasn't a nerd in high school. I was pretty popular with kids and staff, I just didn't try to prove how cool I was on a daily basis to everyone else.

My 5th year reunion is coming up this year and I totally ignored the invitation to join the group for my reunion on Facebook. When asked by some former class mates why I ignored the invite on Facebook, I told them high school's the past, my life's gotten better, I know more, have the life I've always wanted, feel more adjusted to life and I feel like at the age of 23 life is just beginning to get great for me. I've told them I feel like I'm where I am supposed to be in life. Then why go back? It's over. A lot of people took that as me being a stick in the mud...screw them. Share your lives with the people that are close to you now... If you were really friends with someone, you would have stayed in touch no matter what...kids, job, relocation, whatever. You would have stayed in touch. Whembleysnight out,

I have had the cars, made my own music had beautiful women, fulfilling jobs, played the games, etc. Never talked to or have seen or talked to anyone from High school Why would I want to even think about talking to or want to know about any of the now. High school was great. But the past is the past let it go. Justify yourself and your life to the only people that matter. 30 year reunion coming up.
