I'm 28 and now that I'm almost 30 I've been thinking more and more about the past (but trying not to dwell). Specifically times when I was just out of high school and entering college and I felt like I was on my own for a while in terms of relationships with people. Friends went off to college and my immediate family was just my mother and grandmother which didn't last too much longer afterward. As time as gone on I've become a little more introverted. Back in those days though, I remember there were moments where I could shut out all the white noise and just kickback as a night owl. During high school on Saturday nights if I wasn't out with friends, I didn't mind to nerd up and just blissfully tune into Adult Swim on TV in my dark room while browsing the internet. The late night anime sessions with chill shows such as Cowboy Bebop or Witch Hunter Robin set the tone. From 11pm to 3am (or was it 4am?) that was my zone. Then a few years later in college while in my early twenties there was this dive bar in San Francisco run by these Korean women that usually tried to swindle men out of their money. I remember it being just a hole in the wall with dim lights where I would spend a couple of hours at the counter with a beer or two slowly pondering my life and future in my own thoughts. Just enjoying the atmosphere and role of being just another goon in an enchanting, but often bizarre city. It went out of business now and some other spot has taken over, but those were some good memories. I met some nice people along the way even though I usually preferred to observe than converse. Sometimes I wish I could just go back there and crack open a couple of Fat Tires and talk to Wendy for a bit.

I was just wondering if you guys had any interesting times in your life that you remember and maybe wish could go back one more time just to partake in the ambience. I'm married now, and "me time" has become a distant memory. And I don't even have a child yet. I'd like to hear your tales if you're willing to share. Not on here as often as most of you all.
