Do you ever think about getting old?
One thing I want to make sure I do before I get old is learn how to play the guitar well. It just seems like it takes a long time to get good at it. I've heard that in order to just get good at something you have to work on it for 2 to 5 years, just to get good. Then when 10 years have gone by you can start to master it. Then as time progresses you can become a genius at it. It's just so hard to think that far in the future. Since I started when I was 21 I'll be 26 before I'm really good at it and 31 before I'm a genius at it. But damn that band I start is going to be amazing when I'm 26.
I guess the same goes for writing. I feel like God has given me some natural talent to write but in the same line of thought it's going to take years before I'm good at it.
All this makes me wish I had started earlier. At least I've started.
There are a lot of things I've been doing for long enough to be a genius at them:
Going to the bathroom
Eating
Being in school (I may not be a genius in school, but I can take classes like a pro)
Sleeping
Talking on the phone
Talking in general
Biting my nails
Running away from conflict
Getting annoyed at petty things
Smelling (sorry Bethany)
Breathing
Riding a bike
Walking
Smelling, like myself
Hopefully that's enough; you get the idea.
