Burning the Ecliptic

It has been more than a year since I updated this blog. I also have a new home for it, the original website is now defunct.

A lot has happened in the past year.
Who remembers when they were five years old? I do. I remember a lot of things. I actually think I have total recall. Although, when I talk about some of my memories to my family they usually think I’m making them up.

Five is a good age. It seems to be the year that we come into complete and total awareness. I realize that humans become “aware” before then, any parent knows this to be true. However, I believe that five is the age when actual life lessons begin to really stick and then metastasis in our brains. We learn something and then start building on it. Five is also the period of true freedom. The period when we are able to communicate effectively, think for ourselves and we have plenty of free-time to do so. Because, depending on your birthday, it is right before we start school.

This is where Ian is now. Five: the stage of self-awareness and true freedom.
He just finished pre K, where I am convinced he did not learn anything, and he will start Kindergarten in the fall. I’m not worried that he didn’t learn anything because he is brilliant and by far the most advanced five year old around (I'm certain he is the only one that uses the word facetious in casual conversation).

Me, I’m still in school. I could have graduated by now, but I keep adding more classes. I went from a lone major, to a major and a minor and then said screw it and changed to a double major. I am currently considering a double major and a minor, but I doubt I do that. It is time for me to move on. Though, I still have two semesters to go after this summer.
