Hate It Or Love It

posted Thursday, 7 December 2006
This entry is named after The Game (featuring 50 Cent)'s signature song from Game's debut album The Documentary.  One of the lines from Game is "I didn't have 50 Cent when my gradmama died/now I'm going back to Cali with my Jacob on, see how time flies?" The refrain is "Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top/and I'm gonna shine, homie, until my heart stops."



That's about how I'm feeling these days about the general arc of my existence.  Just over 4 months ago, I was an intern; a couple of months before that, I was a contractor.  Now fast-forward to last month, when I hired a contractor to help me at my permanent job -- someone who had recently been through similar hardships. 



Just last month I was looking for a place to live, trying to win residents over at open houses for shared homes in D.C.  Fast-forward to last night, where my roommates and I were screening new people to live in our house.  I was showing them around, telling them what it was like to live with me and my housemates.  They were trying to win us over.



See how time flies?
