Growing Up

There is a time and place for childish notions and ideas. In childhood. I used to think I always wanted to be like a child in some ways. To never grow up. To keep that boundless curiosity and endless fascination intact. I wanted to be the old guy who could play with little children and have fun. People would think 'What a nice man, playing so earnestly with those children.' What they wouldn't know would be that I was having as much fun as that kid. I would pretend I was just being a nice guy but in reality I would be going down that slide as exuberant as the kid at the bottom who rolled out of the way just in time.

The truth is I am growing up. I have been a kid for a while now and it's time I start acting my age. This blog is more than a new chapter, its a new book, in a new city on a different planet. I am going to clean up my act and share my journey from punk kid to comfortable adult.
