What I Have Learned In My First 30 Years
Well, I wrote a long on drawn out essay on what I learned in my first 30 years. It was full of hate and spite towards society, police, and the feudal lordship that is the world today, it took about 5 pages on paper, and then I remembered I have also learned people dislike self-righteous assholes who bitch about problems and then do not provide realistic solutions. So as I climb off my high horse, that is standing on a soapbox, and take a more realistic approach the things I know now are about the same as I knew when I was 5; be nice to people, share, biting is not cool, and fighting also. It is harder to get people to like you than to despise you, but on the other end it is easier to love someone and forgive their faults than it is to hate someone and hold grudges. My mommy is the only cool girl in the whole world, and the world is a big place ripe for exploring ( how come nobody has the job title "Explorer" anymore) Just the basics. Now from my adolescence views have changed being numb and cloudy will not help you get freedom. The world is amazing with a fresh breath and clear head, I climbed out of the bottle in time to live a little. And my mommy is still the coolest girl in the world, but not the only cool one. SO on this day I wish myself a Happy Birthday because everyday I am alive is a great day, (God knows I tried not to be here numerous times). And, everyday is ripe for exploring, I am officially changing my occupation to Explorer. (or maybe Alexplorer)

Well Happy Birthday! I'll bet the IRS would accept "explorer". They would at least have trouble proving you weren't.
