Apparently I'm not the only person still nursing an innappropriate love for Vin Diesel. Fast and Furious made $100 million worldwide on it's opening weekend. That is crazy! I love it. You can bet your ass there'll be another sequel. I hope my favorite sexy gravel-voiced, balding, pectoral heavy action star will be back. (I say favorite because I have more than one. LOL)
Anyway, leaving this movie I had a bit of a flashback to the time I saw the first movie. I recall that both Mauro & I were super excited to see it, for completely different reasons. But what struck me is how remarkably my life has changed since then. I looked up the release date of The Fast and the Furious (as opposed to F&F) and it came out in the summer of 2001. At that time I was still in Houston, working at NAMC, just a few months gone from Bombay. I lived on Timberside, and hung out at the Davenport and danced at the Gallant Knight. But most of all, I was in a completely different space, mentally and emotionally. It feels like a lifetime ago. I will definitely say that I haven't fully completed the task of growing up, but I look back at who I was just 8 years ago and I feel so much older and wiser. I guess that's what time does for you.
