Lexi's Birth
I was born in Chester County hospital. Not much else to say here. -
Preoperational Stage
Around 2 is when babies start to use symbols to represent real world things, so I used my second birthday to represent this as that's around when it begins. -
Started Preschool
Don't remember the exact date I started, but I started preschool in 2004 and have been slowly and steadily progressing through the heierarchy of school grades ever since. -
Developed understanding of laws of conservation
From about 8-12 (8th birthday shown here), one starts to develop an understanding of the laws of conservation (that things are the same regardless of the size of the container). So around this time is when I personally developed it. -
Met first friend in 2nd grade
Don't remember the exact date, but I met my first real friend Jon in 2nd grade and we're still friends to this day. -
Started High School
When everything started going downhill. -
Started getting more competitive with Magic: The Gathering
I had been playing prior to this date, but this date is when I gained the mad memeing skillz to play competitively. -
Started playing the drums
Dunno the exact date, but in early 2015, I started playing drums and immediately gained mad skillz comparable to Mike Portnoy, without even trying. -
Erikson's Theory of Identity vs. Role confusion
Around when I started playing drums is when I found what role I fit into. In middle school, I thought I wanted to do other things in life (I totally forget what they were, but it didn't involve more complex music in any way), and I found that by playing the drums, I found myself in a more music oriented social setting (talking with other musicians, talking about music in general, etc). I also found myself in a more nerdy setting with my getting into Magic: the Gathering, World of Warcraft, etc. -
Started Adulting
It is on this date that I put my childhood behind me and gained the "perks" (losses) of being an adult. It's gonna be a rough road ahead. -
Most important thing future me should know
Fam. Don't pay attention to losers. They'll only bring you down. Continue following your dreams and don't let anyone stop you! -
Formed First Band
We are going to be a psychadelic progressive nu meatal funk band with smooth jazz and dubstep influences. This is when my career begins to form as a drummer. Our band name is "The Funkadelic Citizens of a Post Apocalyptic Wasteland". -
Met Future Wife
I met her while skydiving in Nepal. Her name is Linda Cosgrove. -
Erikson's Intimacy vs. Isolation stage
In the early 20's is when this stage starts and it's when people start to worry about being in an intimate relationship and trying to balance that with a job. To show around when this kicks in, I picked the date I said I'd meet my future wife. -
Married Linda
It was a magical day that I will never forget. -
Permissive/authoritative parenting
No idea when or if I'll have a kid (hopefully not, kids are creepy), but if I did become a parent, I would probably naturally exhibit a blend of permissive and authoritative parenting on my child(ren). -
Reached Peak Age
I turn 30 here. Everyone knows that after 30 is when life REALLY starts to go downhill. However, I believe it will go down for me especially because this is when joints start getting weak and I'll only have the drumming skill level of Danny Carey as opposed to Mike Portnoy. -
Lexi's Death
I had a mid-life crisis, did something stupid, and ended up falling off the empire state building into a pit of molten lava while riding on the back of a majestic steed piloted by Bernie Sanders wearing a crown of obsidian and carrying a mighty greatsword forged from the tears of internet rappers.
