flcodemonkey, I hope you return in the future.

Baseball news wise, Mark Cuban might buy my Pirates. Maybe then we could hang onto our young talent.

Oh, and those A's are scorching hot. They just might win the AL West with the resurgence of their pitching (maybe Billy Beane knows what he's doing even if he traded away Byrnes). So are the Astros.

Derrek Lee will win the Triple Crown.

Recently watched the anime Air. Very nice, good story and characters, though I had to watch it twice to pick up everything.

I'd also recommend seeing Howl's Moving Castle, based on the novel by Diana Wynne Jones, currently showing at theaters nationwide. It's beautifully animated by Miyazaki, though the ending hurt my head a bit.

Strangely enough, being twenty one feels no different from being twenty. Except that I can legally gamble and buy alcohol. Which still isn't a big difference.

If there's one thing that you would like to tell yourself when you were (or will be) twenty one years old, what would you tell yourself?

1. Go see the world.

Thought about joining the Peace Corps? Do it. Thought about going to Mexico for a month-long Spanish immersion program? Do it. Whatever it is that you think you want to see, go see it.

I have never been out of the continental United States. I should have made time to do it. It will be much more challenging for me now that I have all the trappings of full adulthood with which to contend.

2. You are not bound by today's decisions for the rest of your life.

It's ok to not know what you want to do "when you grow up" and it's ok to change your mind along the way. But, if you do change your mind, don't stick with a situation or a job out of duty. You wrong yourself. Pick a direction, figure out a plan, and move. It can work out, but it never will unless you act.

Wow, I was lucky enough to go to Australia when I was tne years old.

Now, the second one...I'm someone who doesn't change so I'm still working on that one.
