I just was browsing through my old files on my computer and found a series of journal entries from Junior year of high school.

I opened them up and started reading and it was bizarre how detached I am from those words, the experiences and odd things I wrote about, and most of all, that person.

Not to say I was an entirely different person 4 years ago, and several, most in fact, of my good friends were still the same, but from what I gathered I just couldn't wrap my head around things.

Not to say I'm some genius now...but I was reading and going "What was that pet peeve I wrote about? Band buses? What?"

I guess that just goes to show how I've grown and how old I really am. Odd. I don't miss that person one bit. I am fine where I am.

-Three years ago I did my Eagle Project.
-Three years ago my Grandpa passed.
-Three years ago was West Side Story
-Three years ago I graduated High School.
-(Almost) Four years ago Three Years Accident Free broke up.
-Two years ago Via Warp Pipe got together.
-Two years ago I made the Champions 2.


Wow. Time flies.

The blog formerly known as Winch's Listening Corner has revamped to be the new "You Can Call Me Winch" (get it a Paul Simon reference?) at http://winchhatesyou.tk and now it isn't just limited to music, I'm gonna be blogging about things that bug me, things that entertain me, and things that I just want to pimp out.

So check it out, I mean it'll be updated a couple times a week with rants and such.

So help me.

It's one of two things, both requiring some facial hair modification.

help a brother out.

I'm 20 years old. That's kind of cool. Two years into college, two years with "new" friends, not to mention the way that my life has changed since then. Two years since high school, which seems so strange. Two years since prom and the weekend that followed, one of the best weekends of my life. But I'm not like weirded out by any of it. Some people say "I'm 20, I'm not a teenager anymore, what will I do?" I say 20 is an oppurtunity for me to do more things with my life, meet more people, play more music, write more scripts. I got some pounds to put off, I wanna start riding my bike a lot more and for some reason I feel compelled to re-learn basketball. The next year has a whole lot of potential, and I have no reason to look back and feel bad that I'm getting older. Who knows what's next right?

This is what happened to me.

I had my final and got back and watched my lunch while watching an episode of Office season 3.

I sit for a while and notice Evan Almighty's on, I have no plans until 5 so I relax and watch.

I go out, shoot a video, edit it, wrap up a paper and then go and eat dinner.

I come back and say "I don't want to work anymore" and contemplate unpacking my PS2 to put in some movie and watching it, but I turn on the TV and Little Miss Sunshine is on, I go "eh I already saw Evan Almighty, but I guess I'll watch this"

That ends at 12:37, I turn on Conan just in time for the monologue and he says, "My first guest, from The Office, Steve Carrell."

What does all of this mean?
