“Hey Lex, what’s the server call to return a friend’s list?”
“Hey Lex, should the meta data be on this loading screen?”
“Hey Lex, can you send me the Communications PRD?”
“Hey Lex, make sure the Mobile Velocity team has the documentation for development. And are you still managing the BREW, J2ME and Symbian projects?”

Say what? I don’t know what happened between now and then but just five months ago I didn’t know cell phones had operating systems. I was too busy driving across the country every other week, going to Burning Man festivals, meeting random girls and sharing a two-bedroom apartment with four of my college buddies. Now, I live in a house with a guy who’s about to be married, have two dogs, have gotten a promotion, pay TAXES and have medical, life and dental insurance. Who the heck do I think I am? And where did this all come from. What’s more, what happened to that nice guy with no temper that partied hard and wrote screenplays in the dark? Because today, I yell at co-workers on a whisper’s whim, forgot what a party looked like and couldn’t tell you what Final Draft is supposed to be used for if my life depended on it.

I think I’ve come to the conclusion that whatever you plan in life, forget it! In fact, whatever you DON’T want to do, plan on doing it and it won’t happen. There are too many paths in life to pick just one. As long as I’m happy, I guess I’m where and who I’m supposed to be. . . Right?
