Reminiscing

I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 60 years later. I don't have to go to school or work. -I get an allowance every month. I have my own pad. I don't have a curfew. I have a driver's license and my own car. The people I hang around with are not scared of getting pregnant and I don't have acne.

Life is great. I changed my car horn to gunshot sounds. People get out of the way much faster now. Gone are the days when girls used to cook like their mothers. Now they drink like their fathers. When I was a child, I thought "Nap Time" was a punishment. Now it feels like a small vacation.

The biggest lie I tell myself is: "I don't need to write that down, I'll remember it." If God wanted me to touch my toes, He would've put them on my knees.
Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators. We haven't met yet. Why do I have to press one for English when you're just going to transfer me to someone I can't understand anyway? Of course, I talk to myself. Sometimes I need expert advice.

At my age "Getting lucky" means walking into a room and remembering what I came in there for. I have more friends I should send this to, but right now I can't remember their names.

Now, I'm wondering: did I send this to you, or did you send it to me?

Hahaha! Honestly, this is what my thoughts sound like when I'm daydreaming...
