oh, the places i've been, the people i've seen, the characters i've met

this isn't intended to be a brag page. rather, a brief chronicle of some of the things I've seen and witnessed over the course of my life. Many of you will think, "so what", but each of the items in this list serves as a moment of personal importance, whether for good or for bad. though, i think it's worth noting that, in jotting this list down, the good far outweighs the bad.
