I just looked up and noticed I'm at post 5,000. Since I'm horribly bored at work today and feeling sentimental and nostalgic since its rainy outside I started thinking about when I first starting posting on this site. I actually had the name "FzBl" that I made super quickly that really made no sense to troll my roommate who I caught posting on here who went by the name "Summer of '98". It was 2001 and we lived in Royal Lexington, and life was grand. This place was called wildcatchat or something like that. A couple years later we were living above Two Keys and it was the year we lost to UAB in the tourney after going undefeated in the SEC. We used to hit up Varsity Blues on Tuesday, Kitty O'Shea's on Wed, Two Keys was rocking on Thursdays, Gambino's on Fridays (which was ridiculously out of place in Lexington). Pazzo's had free mug night whenever the hell that was. The Tin Roof used to be Huddle House, an absolutely disgusting abomination that we went to way too much. Slice of Chicago was behind us, Subway was below us and is now a liquor store, and this place called the Paddock had just opened up. We also finished up pretty much every night at Tolly-Ho.
I went back last year for our annual college buddy meet up that we started a couple years ago and couldn't believe how much things had changed and it truly made me realize how fast time is going by. My buddy bought the Paddock back in 2004 right when I left Lexington and there are still pictures of us hanging up in there from college and it was just surreal looking at them. I'm now 34, bought my first house, am happily married, living in Columbus, but still always think back to those years. Summer of '98 has a cute baby boy, everyone is all grown up and changed. Well except my buddy that bought the Paddock who is now a bloated looking 33 year old that looks about 45 due to heavy partying, but he's great for our annual meet-up.
Those of you still in college better enjoy it, time goes by fast. Feel free to post any memories you have if your a 30 something that went to UK back in the day, will probably spark some memories for the rest of us.
