I was the emperor of mankind in '03.

In '09 still emperor but due to a horrible workplace 'accident' caused by that asshole Horus, I'm encased in a golden throne.

Actually, between when Languish started and now, your wife was born, we've had the wedding, and now you're up to your Shining in creepy ass twins.
Amazing what can happen in 7 years.

Hmmmm, it's been a long strange trip!

I went from unemployed hanging out on Sunday's waiting for Katmai to wake his ass up so that EU2 could begin with Habsburg, Stonewall, Sask, and assorted others in NC.

To a job working in a prison in NC to a job working in probation/parole in NC to a job working in parole in NY. I went from apartment to apartment switching locations a few times for work. I now have a nice house, a new son, and a very well paying Union job.

And no EU2 :cry:

Oh, and I blame Habs for giving me this website to visit.

The more things have changed, the more they have stayed the same.

I just realized this morning that my 10 year anniversary is coming up at Paradox, and checked my join date and by JOVE it is today.

I have created the Paradox Pensioners Society to commemorate this event. -_-

As I approach my 9th year tenure at Paradox forums I'm tempted to join.  :blush:

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Yeah, lots have happened since Sept 2001 (my Paradox registration date).
Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

Not too much change for me. I've had my same job since 1997 or so. Less physically active than I used to be; I used to keep in pretty good shape - martial arts, aerobics, weights. Sadly, I've had some deaths and changes in family. I was unmarried then, and still am, but now own a home.

In some ways, I'm much the same, but I was quite wet behind the ears when I started on here.  Where was I in '03?  Reading a lot of Saul Bellow and Nietzsche, playing EU2, scanning slides of eye diseases into a computer for work, and very conflicted about how I felt about Israel.

Had the experience of love and loss, cruised the nightlife, and eventually had a nice relationship of almost four years that I watched sadly fizzle out.  Read Althusser and Lacan, smoked two packs of cigarettes a day, quit, read "Being and Time," started again, read Derrida, cut down, and did a lot of concerted drinking.  Left North America for the first time, twice, and visited the South, met Sheilbh twice and The Larch once. Worked a variety of jobs, contemplated my mortality, learned how to cook a basic repertoire of dishes, submitted to psychiatric treatment, lifted weights, stopped lifting weights, watched every movie John Waters made, and I still don't know what I think about Israel.  And I saw Sonia Sotomayor on the street in Manhattan.  That about sums it.    :)
