6 years ago today
...6 years ago today, I turned 18. I was walking home from school thinking how were things going to change in my life now that I became an adult. When I got to the gate, I did the daily routine of checking the mailbox, and in there were three things for me:
- A Mach3 razor from the Gillette Company along with a card congratulating me on becoming a "man". Nice marketing I admit, I actually felt like real man, and I started shaving whatever facial hair I had on that same day.
- A selective service (US Military) registration card. Bush had just gotten sworn in. America was on vacation.
- A letter of acceptance to my top school of preference: Purdue University
That that day forever changed the course of my life. Today, I just wish that my grad school application to the London School of Economics was submitted 2 months earlier. Shit, I think I need a new razor as well.
Now playing: Here's that rainy day by Chriss Botti
Also viewing my parents on webcam from Haiti, smiling and wishing me a happy birthday.
I love my life.

I adore you, admire you, respect you, and cherish you.
