2005 Year in Review (Part 2)
To be quite honest, the only reason I'm making a part 2 to this silliness is because, by having a "Part 1," I implied that there would be a part 2. And I don't want to be known as a deceitful person.-In 2005, I successfully completed my first year of college. The kid inside of me tells me that I am now officially old.
-In 2005, I spent easily over 100 hours (in the summer alone) shooting and editing video. About one third of that time was spent capturing footage, which is plenty boring enough to make up for any excitement I got out of being video man.
-In 2005, the Atlanta Braves won their unprecedented 14th division title in a row, which led them to an unprecedented 18-inning Game 4 thriller against the Houston Astros, which they lost, to give them an unprecedented playoff series losing streak.
-In 2005, I predicted that fall term of my sophomore year would be the toughest stretch I'd encountered so far in my life. My prediction expertise apparently goes beyond picking football scores. So no more predictions.
-In 2005, the BCM Fighting-But-Still-Showing-The-Love-of-Jesus Baptist Co-Ed Softball team won the Furman Rec League championship. The key: lose to a team four times in a row, and you have them right where you want them.
-In 2005, I finished second in the Seesalt Putt-Putt Invitational. Again.
-In 2005, I gained a sister and a newfound frustration with wedding photographers. And Christopher Cox rejoiced.
-In 2005, I got an iMac. And TJ Cofield rejoiced.
-In 2005, the Furman Fighting Football Paladins finished #3 in the polls, with an 11-3 record and a trip to the National Semifinals. And expectations were high enough that this feat still managed to be disappointing.
-In 2005, I learned that I will probably not be an economist.
-In 2005, I used a computer in the James B. Duke Library for the last time. If you know what's good for you, follow this example.
-In 2005, my little sister continued to be not so little anymore, as she continues to amaze me with her growth and maturity. But she still has the attention span of a goldfi--Oh, Look! A Castle!
-In 2005, God started revealing a glimmer of purpose for my life. I couldn't ask for anymore.
To all of you that I love, I thank you for the many things you have done for me in the last year that I could never hope to repay you for.
Well, that's that. I'm going to sleep.

I usually don't read your blogs (sorry, but they tend to be long and I get distracted) but mom said I was in this one so I thought I'd read it. I like it a lot and think you are a fabulous brother and I couldn't ask for a better one. I love you a ton and hope you always know that. Now as far as my attention span goes, I like to think of it as very observant of my surroundings. I notice things because I like to "soak it all in." I'm just more in depth than most people
