I can’t believe it’s been almost 20 years since my senior year in High School. I knew back then that when we gathered for the reunion, we would probably need a few name tags to identify one another. Generally we’ve all changed to a certain degree, but at the 20 year mark, we’ve all changed to the point where it would deem necessary the use of name tags. I walked into a grocery store the other day and saw a Facebook friend of mine that I had not seen since high school and didn’t recognize him. I wonder how many other people I’ve seen out and about and didn’t make the connection. I know some of us have lost our hair, gained some weight, grew some facial hair (and that’s just the women) even came across a few, “HOLY Sh*t! WTF happened to you?” moments. All in all in the end, it’s always good to see an old friend.
Even though we didn’t have any celebrities from our class, I wonder even if we did, would I even recognize them? I’m glad that I treated people kindly, the same way that I do now, cause you never know when you will run into a ‘blast from the past’. Imagine if you were the guy in H.S that dated Octo-mom with thoughts of one day raising a family. Imagine if you were someone that laughed at Bill Gates for being a nerd way back when. Imagine if you made fun of Angelina Jolie for having big lips. I find joy in knowing that a few of the ‘unpopular’ kids are now so rich they could buy the venue our reunion will be held in. I smile from ear to ear when I hear stories of ‘fat’ girls becoming ‘sexy’ movie actresses, hanging on a poster in your sons bedroom as he tells you to ‘knock’ before you come in. Gotta love karma.
As more details are emerging about Halle Berry’s and Gabriel Aubry’s split, Halle was pictured holding hands with an unknown man as she was leaving the Broadway play Fences (starring Denzel Washington) on Saturday night. And since we now know that the reason for the split was that Gabriel wanted to stick his penis in something that wasn’t going to collide with menopause in a matter of months, we’re surprised she didn’t come out of that theater holding Justin Bieber’s hand. You know, as a giant “Fuck You” sign.
