I graduated from college (Jon Stewart was the speaker. VERY cool.).

I was drinking a mojito. I sat alone one my back porch smelling the honeysuckle, trying to grasp what had happened.
It's been weird since then. I've become "the man of the house" after my dad left. I'm going to be a high school history teacher in the fall. I plucked out my first gray hair last Sunday. Bush got elected/stole/whatever and I switched from GD addict to Lounge lizard (however, a sporadic one).

Congratulations Class of 2005. My hopes are with you.

1. Jon Stewart was your commencement speaker
thats friggen awesome! I graduate next spring and I know we won't get anyone nearly as cool, we will probably end up with some stupid state assemblyman. I don't even know who the commencement speaker was this year, I know the College of New Jersey had Jon Corzine...so it wasn't him. Maybe I'll look it up
