my friend matt.

it's amazing how time flies sometimes. i am really blown away when i get the opportunity to see someone whom i haven't seen in a good long time, and i can just see all the changes. 2 nights ago, i had a spectacular night. i'm here in chicago *CONTENT EDITED* and i met up with my great friend matt schaefer who has been one of my best friends since we met and worked together at starbucks in school.

matt is a great friend, and we've been through a lot together. we have so many ridiculous and crazy storied from back in the IU days and when he lived in NYC too. i miss those days. we were both so new to the real world, and so naive about everything really. time has passed and its so wonderful to meet up and reflect on our lives now and what we have done and what we have been through. it was such a perfect night. we ate, we drank, we caught and we just enjoyed each other's company.

matt told me that several of his songs have just been picked up for commercials for hallmark commercials, and i'm just so unbelievably thrilled for him. tonight i drove my bigass ford expedition down to his place and we went out for a glass of wine and a bite and i met the guy who he is dating (very cute, i approve), and just chatted it up. it was simply perfect.

as we grow and as we move on in life, we change. we have jobs and we lose jobs. we have wonderful relationships and we grieve for those that didn't work out. but all through it, even when there is a long time between visits, we still have our most important relationships that are so powerful and so strong and they remind you that you'll always get through the hardships. you'll always have that friend to call and see when you pass through time.

it was great to see you matt. i'm so happy for you and everything you have going for you and i'll always be your number one fan.

Adam, you have lost a LOT of hair since 2001. There is a BIG differance in your looks between then and now. May I suggest—STRONGLY—that you investigate Rogaine & Propecia? Your receding/thinning hair makes you look older than you actually are, which is not good in the dating world.

Ewe, who’s this Jen chick? Double ewe…girl. And hmm…anonymous = ugly whale girl with mangled toes. Hey Jen, why don’t you send us a photo of yourself?

I’d be happy to weigh in on what you need to do. Though anatomically, you’re screwed anyway, so might as well save your money on the trainer. No one wants to do you. Is this girl really spending her time commenting on strangers’ blogs of…oh Jen, cancel the trainer get a therapist.

Jen is my new code word for tragic eyesore girl that bothers me. Some examples on usage:
Ugh, there are so many jen’s in this place!
How did jen think she could pull off that look?
There’s not enough Covergirl in the world to cover that jen mug!
Ewe, I got a piece of jen hair on me! These jen’s shed like wildebeest.
