does age equal maturity? or vice versa?
the subject of age arose today. of mid-twenties, of old age... and i had to stop. stop and ask myself where i think i am, where i thought i'd be and where i think i'm going.

i think, therefore i am.... 26 and 3/4 years old, employed on a full-time basis in job which somedays is challenging, somedays is not and is always good to me. i have a wonderful group of friends, as spread far and wide as they may be, and a solid grasp on life, love and the pursuit of happiness.

i thought i might like to be ..... pretty much where i am. depending on how far back you go. if you want to go back to the beginning of time, the annals of my mind recall my wishes and hopes and dreams putting me a either a professional athlete or a garbageman... alas, those dreams died about the same time.... i was an amateurish amateur athlete and garbage, well, its garbage.... kudos to anyone who has the fortitude and compassion to deal with all that....

where i am slowly going crazy.... 5....4..3..2.1.. switch.... to my next life... the one where the person most important to me gets to be with me more, where we are in the employ of people who recognize we are doing them a favour by granting them our services and to more of the same... to coffee all day and thinking all night.... to books to discuss and discussions to write.... to happiness ruling all and rules being happy

so as the dawn of one year and the sunset of another come ever closer, closer, closer still, i am where i am, i be where i be, and i go where i go

I am excited about your next life...cause my supporting role gets larger and larger And we have more 9:30p.m. walks to Tim Hortons where the nice counter person gives me five old-fashioned plain timbits even though I only paid for two and more indie films that I really want to support even if certain ones are deathly boring and more free popcorn at Jumbo Video and more of me singing the song from Hustle and Flow to Sophie "You know it's hard sometimes..." and more of you looking completely comatose across the table from me on sunday mornings...with me knowing you are STILL totally disgusted by the yogurt and grapes combination (it's delicious) and more of me tearing the Sunday Star out of your hands so I can read the Buzz section...I do try really hard not to tell you everything in it before you get a chance to read it...but I get excited at the pics of celebrities walking their dogs in Yorkville and more of me getting the first crack at the crossword and more of me losing my USB key and tearing your apartment apart in a hysterical rage only to find it in a heap of my clothes on your bed...okay, not that one so much...at least I keep it interesting anyways...I'm looking forward to it all (Reply to this) (Thread)
