			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s not very often I write blog posts for my personal blog anymore. It is not for lack of ideas, it is simply that I&#8217;m not sure which ideas or facts I should share anymore. Most of my life reads like fiction, and the more I recall of the past the less likely it seems like it actually happened. Yet thanks to technology, and me being a digital pack rat I have a decades worth of photos, hundreds of thousands of IM logs detailing entire relationships, and thousands of articles and essays I&#8217;ve written. I have credible evidence and a solid timeline of the things I&#8217;ve been through, both good and bad, and yet it still reads like fiction. I&#8217;m constantly discrediting myself for things I&#8217;ve accomplished or done because to me they just simply were.</p>
<p>I spent most of my teen years wired into the internet, writing for my Apple blog, playing games, developing websites, going to press events, and had few friends. Socially I was capable, I just didn&#8217;t really have an affinity with anyone or anything really other then my blog. I was a misanthrope, and liked it that way. I accomplished the most at night because I could finally think, and write without anyone to get in my way. Around the time I turned 19 my life changed considerably however, I left school, I had my first real relationship, I accepted a position for my dream job, and I put my misanthropic ways behind me. For the next 4-years I became everything I had dreamed and feared when I was just another awkward teenager.</p>
<p>For better or worse, things have finally settled down this year.</p>
