six years ago yesterday, i spent the day crying, shaking and coming down, and six years ago today i had my first day of continuous sobriety - then in the first year moved home and worked downtown, met cory, moved into my first apartment with my first roomate, jennifer j. and worked for terrilli's then moved with my friend stan into a big 3 bedroom house and got my first car - the second year i moved home and saved money, then went to school in rome for a semester, then met danette and moved in with her - the third year was a mess, the fiasco with stan's truck and living at his mom's house (where i got really into the internet and got my first email address) and getting into the coffee business and being out of work for 3 months, then going to paris and london followed by sleeping on dave's sofa for 4 months, working at starbucks and the coffee haus, then finally getting my very first own place - the fourth year i met daria, as well as meeting and/or solidifying relationships with the people i call my closest friends today, larkin, john, stepen, matt a. and many more - the fifth year i worked for edanz in my first office job and started building a website, and the 6th year, which includes coming to california and more that's already been documented here and which has ended today as i (by god's grace) start on my seventh by dealing with my sinuses and rearranging my apartment, is history.
