Do you ever feel like you were born perhaps just a few generations too late? That maybe you were meant to live during the turn of last century? Or maybe were to be involved in a past struggle of some sort? For me, I feel like I was supposed to live in the Wild West. I have no fucking idea why. Don’t like the big hats and not especially fond of the guns either (don’t really dislike them though, just don’t care one way or another), but more feel like the frontier was the place for me. I probably would have been shot the first time I fucking got drunk though, huckleberry.

Sometimes though you just got to curse your luck not cause of the big hats and guns, but just cause of circumstances. I grew up in the Silicon Valley, being attached to computers and keyboards since I was knee high. You might think that this might set one up to do pretty well for themselves since they were learning the wave of the future while other kids were doing their own things. But, you could be wrong. See for me it seems like I got into this whole mess just about 10 years to late. Damn that decade I was running around, having fun and being a kid.

Now it seems like the structure is pretty well in place – that most people have made their money and staked out their power and there is not much room for a little you know who to get his. Oh well though right, I still got it good. So much to be very proud of and very happy about. I truly am blessed I just sometimes think, what if I was 37 now in this bizness as opposed to where I am. Would the upward mobility have been any different?

Good night, pardner.
