you know what really sucks about getting older? is that slowly -- slowly to the point that, at first, you're not conscious of it (this is my job - to make you conscious of it) -- you stop being able to say, "gee, when i grow up, i'm going to be _____."
blank could be (could have been?): a rocket scientist. famous. a ROCKSTAR. better. an astronaut. Rich. tiger woods. tiger woods' caddy.
but alas, eventually, we'll be there - grown up, i guess. And we'll look to the left of us and the right of us and forward for a second, and finally behind. And we'll wonder when we got so tall.. when the future stopped seeming so endless. and all of us wizened and murmuring to ourselves, "well, then. that was interesting."
well, maybe not. we could get hit by a bus first. one really big bus.
