Congratulations
August 22nd, 2005Congratulations Mike!
It looks like my best friend Mike landed himself a sweet job at Electronic Arts in Vancouver for the next 8 months. It’s crazy how fast things can change. I’m sure Mike will be able to turn this opportunity into a career if he so chooses. Even since I can remember Mike has been talking about how he’s going to be a game developer when he “grows up” it’s awesome that it’s actually happening for him now, especially with such a large and well respected company. It kind of makes me wonder if I’ll ever really see Mike again. I can somehow see him finishing up his degree in Vancouver and starting his dream career down there.
But it’s funny how things work out… I first met Mike in preschool when I was 3 years old, after that he moved to another part of Regina and we went to different schools in Kindergarden. Simply by conscience )(or was it…) my family built a house and moved to where we live today, which is also a 5 minute walk from Mike’s house. If we hadn’t moved, there’s a good chance I would have never seen Mike again. Who knows, maybe Mike will stay in Vancouver, start up his career, and a few years down the road I”ll get an engineering job down there.
Anyway, best of luck Mike!

Great friendships never die or grow apart. I’m sure I’ll see you again. I may be moving to Vancouver but wherever you are I’ll make damn well sure we do our yearly backpacking trip at the very least. I really am going to miss you when I head off. I’ll miss all my friends, but I’ve known you forever and I’ll miss you the most.
On the brighter side of life, I doubt fate would bump our paths together so consistantly only to pull them apart now and so I’m sure that whatever the future holds we will be within slurpee distance sooner or later. I know for a fact that whatever road I travel you’ll be not far behind and whatever direction you go my path will lead. That’s how it’s been so far. This might sound naive, but if you’re going to believe in anything it may as well be in your friendships.
If you plan on going skiing let me know, I’m pretty close to the mountains and I’ll have my board.
Have fun this semester and good luck with your own aspirations.

I Love you Drew, you should also get a job at EA Sports sometime so that I could buy cheap video games from you.
