Song of Myself


Song of Myself, originally uploaded by drp.

I turn 40 years old today.

In that time I've lied, cheated, and stolen.
I've loved greatly, failed miserably, and felt deeply.

I've known moments of immense joy and pleasure.
I've lived through times of incredible pain and suffering.
Depression, elation, enlightenment, and disillusionment have been my companions.
I have broken hearts and bodies, and healed minds and spirits.

I have been both good guy and asshole, lover and loser, friend and foe.
I'm a little boy. I'm a grown man.
I am intelligent designer, and evolutionary ape.
I am mid-life crisis personified.
I'm potential incarnate.

I have won awards, and lost causes.
I have missed opportunities, and hit strides.

There is much I have experienced, and there is still very much I have left to learn.

So, I acknowledge this occasion, but will not revel in its importance.
Each day that I can still wake up, breathe, walk, and make a difference somewhere is one that should and will be celebrated.

Someone once said "The best way to predict the future is to create it."

Just watch me......
