For Posterity
Do you ever wonder what you were doing at a certain second in time? I ask this because I was just thinking about how if we knew that a moment would be historical we would want to remember everything about that moment. Example, if we knew that something amazing was going to happen today (July 25, 2005), we would want to remember everything, right? So, I think I'll write everything that's happened so far today (that I would want to be able to tell my grandchildren) just in case today turns out to be important.
- I paid $2.05 for gas in Lansing (for future generations: that's pretty impressive and yes, I owned cars that required gasoline).
- It's over 80 degrees at 8:47 in the morning.
- The air conditioner is out in the HDI Federal Center.
- They're starting 7 new interns today (they are gluttons for punishment).
- The metal detector at the back door was broken, so I had to wait for them to look through all my stuff.
- I forgot to eat breakfast.
- My car is making a rattling noise (it's the heat shield - nothing important).
- I have a bug bite on my wrist and it itches like crazy.
- I have to pay all my bills some time today.
This is like my own personal time capsule. These are the particulars of my life at age 24, at 9:00 on a Monday morning in July.

Thanks for leaving that for posterity, Aaron. That is indeed a very true statement in 2005.
I do not surf the internet. I simply research and document information of a non-work related nature using the electronic resource known as the "internet".
$2.05 in Lansing, Michigan?!?! What is this?!?!
I paid $2.19 in Podunk, Kansas yesterday! What is this world coming to?!?!?!
Perhaps July 25, 2005 is the day America the Beautiful is re-penned to include a verse for cheap gas prices.
Oh Beautiful, for driver's dream,
A price of two o five.
A decent fare for gasoline,
In Michigan does thrive...
It was the best I could do on short notice.
Brilliant, Julie. Brilliant.
Thanks.
Julie, I believe you've found your calling.
rewriting patriotic songs to make sure my state is included? ;)
How beautiful! The Kansas skies
O fields of wheat that gleam!
And all around, you heard them sigh
It seems just like a dream!
I'll never ever leave this place!
Ask why? I can-not lie
The truth is that I tried it once
But could not find the signs!
LOL! LOVE it!
O Kansa-land! Sweet Kansa-land!
You have but just one flaw
Landmarks are nice, so ver-y nice
But do not re-place signs!
We seriously need to re-write all the patriotic songs. Did you notice that they're all about "cool" places and there's a lot of references to mountains etc? Well where the references to the Great Lakes, the Flint Hills, etc??
You totally just busted into song, didn't you? LOL
LOL! So you caught me...
oo, oo, I wanna write a song!!
ok...here's mine!
*ahem*
Oh beautiful for...for...umm...
*cough cough*
Oh beautiful for beauty full..of beauty.......beauty
I'm going home.
I wrote a song about my life...but I can't get through it without breaking down in tears....then the anger comes and I trash my guitar on the ground. My parents weren't impressed, especially my dad...he won't me borrow his other guitar.
Oh my gosh! Did I tell you this is my one year aniversary at work?? They DID just suck one year of my life away.
