More Thoughts

• We have two lives and the second one begins when you realize we have only one.
• I find it slightly off-putting when people use the term "I will do this until the day I die".  It seems an excessive and harsh way to make a point.
• Some music brings me right back to my bedroom in the basement on Osborne Street with my old waterbed, listening to my ghetto blaster and reading Stephen King books.  There was at time when I was 15ish that I read Christine, Carrie, Cujo, Firestarter, Dead Zone all in the span of a couple of weeks while listening to Roxette's Joyride and a few other casettes including "In your Eyes".  Somehow this odd combination of things has solidified in my brain as almost a short movie.
• It is difficult to understand change while you are in the midst of it.  It takes time and distance from a situation to look back and see how it fits into a larger world.  Sometimes we are just focusing on a small piece of a large puzzle which only becomes clear to us as we age.  Everything levels out in the end.
