Talk about a New Years eve treat. After something like 20 years or so, I happened to see my first serious girlfriend yesterday. Yes, the one that I spent my high school years with, the first one to ever really steal my heart, and of course the first one to ever rip it out of my body and stomp on it. We were together for about 5 years through high school and afterwards.
She was a cheerleader, I was the quarterback, life was perfect. She came from a well to do family, drove a really nice car, was in my opinion at the time, the perfect girl. Then of course, she went off to college (I opted to go to work so that I could make some money to support her) and while away, found another fellow to cast her charm on. He was an old friend of the family, drove a corvette and had a good job as an engineer. I guess a redneck working in the coal mines no longer held the appeal to her.
Needless to say, I was pretty torn up over it all. She was my first love and it hurt with she was gone. Okay, I will admit, I was not exactly faithful to her during our time together but this is about her, not me :-).
Anyway, I passed a lady yesterday in a store that for some reason caught my eye. Actually, it was her eyes that caught my eye. No matter how old you get or how much you change, the eyes always stay the same. I didn't immediately recognize her but there was something familiar about her. Then it hit me..it was her! Boy did it ever hit me. A sudden feeling of happiness washed over me.
The sweet young girl I had loved in high school was now a total mess. Back then, she was about 5' 100 lbs soaking wet, had beautiful long hair, a wonderful smile and was in my opinion, a hotty. What I saw yesterday, was an old woman, still 5' tall but now weighing 250 plus (conservative guess). Her hair was chopped off in a very unflattering style, her face swollen to the point that I hardly knew her. No ladies and gentleman, the years had not been kind to her at all.
It was at that very moment I realized....Things do happen for a reason!

"Okay, I will admit, I was not exactly faithful to her during our time together but this is about her, not me." ROFLMAO.......
Do you think it is possible that the "P" goggles hide women’s true appearance when we are that young? Or do they just go to hell?
I saw my first gf 4 yrs ago on UK’s campus and "huge ass" is all I can say.
I am also willing to say that I am a man, and therefore have some streak of "asshole" in himself. Because, I assure all women, I am not the image of beauty that I once was as well :)
