I used to hate being alone. I still do. Call it insanity, call it, I don't know what, but I used to latch on to dear life to human beings, because I always knew I was at my worst when I was alone. Trust me, most of my downfalls? I was alone. I'm not proud of any of this, not proud for having clung in ways to strands that maybe it was best just to cut for the sake of the other person. But it's the scariest sensation, feeling alone in desperation. You want someone to turn to you and be like, "It's okay, you're not a fuck up, and I love you." Sometimes I still catch myself in that same panic from time to time, wondering if my mistakes are going to cost me things and if I should just cling on in some desperate struggle. It's a weird feeling to have, and it's those moments that I remind myself that I'm always going to be this work in progress, but that's okay. Life is this constant journey, and no one expects me to be perfect, and it took me about 30 years of my life to get my head back on straight. I'm not what we call full circle, but who wants to be? That takes me back to the age of 8.
As you can tell, my name is Robert Downey Jr., and I don't write long fantastic entries. That's not me. My thoughts come out in juts and spurts and I often lose interest by the end of them. I'm spazztic and most of my life is spent in hanging out with my son, writing my music, and doing my work. Don't expect me to ever be some genius. My artistry is music and well, art. I'm not some deep intellectual thinker, never thought I was going to be. Memes are never my best friend and I don't really know how to work yousendit.com. I also don't play monopoly online. I have aim phobia, but I'm always up for conversation if you can get me online or just leave me comments. I'm also 40, but I do have a teenage son, so I'm kind of on the know about what is in, but I can't get away with being the cool cat by quoting rappers - even though, I dig Kanye. The Police will always own my soul, and I'm still trying to figure out what it was about that Patti Boyd woman. Case in point, Layla, Something, and Wonderful Tonight are always in my top lists of songs, and they're all about the same woman. What was her allure?
Never expect me to be too serious, it's not what I do, but there's something there beneath my wit.
