Soon, I'll be on the flipside of Twentysomething. And what have we learned, kiddies. To drink a lil' less, To love a lil' more, Always wear clean underwear. hm. Not really. Like most people I continue on my constant cycle or path. I am smarter, sometimes. But, the most important thing I've gotten out of life is to never stop seeking. I mean, I'm almost aiming at having an extremely debaucherous evening of the 3rd, and well into the 4th, but I'll probably do it a lil' more justice than I would have at 22. Then again sometimes I opt outta wearing underwear altogether. Maybe, I'll end up doing lines of Oxycontin off a dirty stripper's ass, whom I happened to have graduated with a few moons ago. It's all up in the air. But my central point is to keep on seeking, and what I mean by that is, to paint that picture, write that novel, learn a new religion, read that history book, but also paint another picture after that, and write another Great American Novel, Become a Muslim after being a Jew, and read that damn book again, read more books on that subject, then write a book about it, get 'yer Honorary Doctorate and teach it to everybody. It's things we attempt, and sometimes fail at, in life that give us the most satisfaction, most educational and spiritual fulfillment, and we must keep on striving towards these often silly distractions to define ourselves and enrich our lives. I've ran for City Council, I've Gotten a Degrrrreee in Art, I've written a couple screenplays, I've starred in a feature length film, I've worked as a DJ, I've worked at a Landfill, and many other even more ridiculous accomplishments, because I live my life with this lesson in Heart.
