Thanks for seein' about a girl, friend. here's where I'm writing my own history—for you, for me and anyone else who needs to laugh to keep from cryin' every once in awhile.

Lump in my throat...

Right now I'm feeling an influx of the following emotions: anxiety vs. assurance, crazy vs. cool, restlessness vs. relaxation, clarity vs. confusion. I HATE to admit, EVER, that hindsight is 20/20, but more often nowadays, I find my inner critic nananana-booing inside my head, "Hind-dight iz dwenny, dwenny... You shoulda thought about that BEFORE you went ahead and did..."

At any rate, so this must be the dawn of my OFFICIAL quarter-life crisis. In about 3 months or so, I'll reach the marker. I was thinking that I'd been in crisis for about 2 years now, and was hoping that by the time I turned 25, I could make like Kool and the Gang and celebrate good times. I was also hoping that I could spend that day and the months thereafter doing things like casually tapping people on the shoulder and saying in a beauty queen's smug, I'm-for-world-peace voice, "Hi! How are you doing today? I'm 25 and you know what? I just saved $_______ on my car insurance. You have a great day and God Bless America!"

I'm still looking forward to the latter. The former is still looking a little murky; the triangle of truth in the great and wise 8 ball hasn't quite turned over to reveal a definitive answer. I told y'all I was back in the game a couple of posts ago. Well, right now it's a deuce, it's a tie in the bottom of the ninth, it's overtime in a college football game...

I'm stuck people. One play, one clutch motion from shootin' and scorin'...

I'm livin' in a field of dreams that hasn't quite been built yet I don't think...

So that pretty much explains it, eh?
