You know all that stuff I've done? Y'know, like...

The time I was a Security Moniutor for Honeywell Security. The time I owned a Comic Book Store. The time I was unemployed. The time I was so depressed I skipped Christmas. The time I found the love of my life over the internet. The time I was a "Master Thief". The time I got married. The time I was destined to just spend the rest of my life alone. The time I sold my comic books at a street fair to make rent money and eneded up on the front page of the Anacortes American. The time I was a reporter for the Highschool newspaper. the time I drove back and forth from Olympia to Anacortes on a semi-daily basis for a month. The time we skimmed $200 off the tills at work and turned to eachother to say "Okay, maybe we took this too far". The time I lived in a trailer with now plumbing. The time that guy plopped his penis on my back. That time I nearly burned down the farm. The time I knew the barn was gonna fall down so I got a lawn chair and watched it. The time I lived with all the punk rockers and dope fiends. The time I was "Arnie". The time I had my first "grown-up" kiss. The time I was "Senior Crew Representative" at McDonalds. The time I played Dungeons & Dragons in the halls at school. The time I rode my bike 8 miles in to town. The time I was a gamer. The time I was a Trekie. The time I lied about the barber cheating me out of my money. The time I organized all those books for some store credit. The time we found that purse with $500 in it. The time we drove to Oak Harbor for comics. The time we did laundry at 2 in the moring at a middle-of-nowhere laundrymat. The time my girlfriend and my ex-girlfriend made out. The time Brittany said "You're kinda *like* a Dad to me". The time my Dad had the heart attack. The time Jan left me at the beach till I was bright red. The time we founf the Monkey Doctor. The time I was a peeping tom. The time I listened to "November Rain" over and over and over again thanks to the newly discovered "Repeat" button on the CD player. The time Todd showed me Doctor Who, Red Dwarf and Blakes 7. The time I saw William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy live on stage. The time we slept in the car outside the fair grounds so we could be first in line to see Patrick Stewart. The time I held Todd McFarlane's video camera. The time I lived in Kent. The time I would forgedt to eat for a few days, then order 5 pizzas and gorge myself. The time my parents found all that porn. The time Butch left Heidi. The time Haley was born. The time Hannah was born. The time my bike got stollen. The time my best friend forgot to invite me to his wedding. The time Aaron found out I was "borrowing" his comics when he wasn't looking. The time I was late to Damon's 5th Birthday party. The time I made it to Ross's 6th Birthday party way too early. The first year I didn't have a birthday party (age 14). The year Beth was sober. The time Leah stole my comics. The day Butch threw a coverless copy of Avengers #4 at me. The time my Dad bought me Atariforce #4, Ambush Bug #1 and a Sgt Rock comic book because I was sick. The time I made all my stuffed animals lip-sync Alvin & The Chipmunks while I played DJ. The time I had "The Beer Burger". The time I came in second place in an eating contest. The time we played Magic every day. The time I tried to rip him off her and she got angry at me for it. The time I lied. The time I was asked to be a GodFather. The time I discovered that Youth Dynamics was just another Christian recruitment tool. The time I lost my faith. The time I helped her lose her faith. The time Hoo Hoo died. The time Grampa died. The time Gramma died. The time I met her family. The time I was a published author. The time he used the back room for taking nude pictures of underage girls. The time he raped a girl while I was just two rooms away. The time we saw the ghost. The time I went to the biggest comic book convention I've ever been to. The time I found out I'm going to be a Daddy.

All that stuff, plus all the other stuff that happened in-between. If I live even till the *short end* of the Life Expectancy for a regular dude, I have AT LEAST that much more stuff to happen to me!

And you have to agree, that's A LOT OF STUFF already!!!
