I am, myself, like you somehow...
Garrison Keillor sums up my life:"I think of people who, in their 20s, seem 40-ish or older, as if they had always aspired to skip their youth and go straight to the conventions of middle age. They listened to their parents' cautions much too well and avoided excess and frivolity and they land in their 30s in good jobs with good benefits and wind up feeling that they skipped an essential step in growing up."But there is yet still time...

Garrison seems like a smart man. I don't know if you were making a comparison to me, directly, in your title, but I do feel the same way sometimes. In retrospect, I don't feel like I wasted time or anything like that, but I do understand the feeling of not being enough of a fuck up. Especially his sentiment about listening to closely to parents and such...which I can relate to quite well. I don't know. These days I don't have a great deal of desire to run around like a monkey...maybe I purged those desires somehow. Who knows. Nowadays I'm not sure what I want except to do what I want to do. Yeah. This makes no sense. Here's a quote from a song that recently struck me.Well I'll go to college And I'll learn some big words And I'll talk real loud God damn right I'll be heard And you'll remember the guy Who said all those big words He must have learned in college -Modest Mouse, Bankrupt on Selling
