today is my birthday
By david On January 2nd, 2008and this is the line that is ringing in my ears:
27 years of nothing but failures and promises that I couldn’t keep
that’s from a ryan adams song, if you don’t know (”let it ride”). i’ve been waiting till i turned 27 so i could use it for another fun-filled blog post. pretty sad, i know, but if you know me at all, then you know that i am sad. i don’t want to write another depressive post about how i’m a failure and my life is worthless, but i’m struggling to come up with something more traditionally fitting to the occasion of my birth. maybe later. maybe never.

but you’re not ready to go, you’re never ready to go. Let it ride!
and you did keep the promise of a good time for RA in Dallas. don’t forget.
(i think about the failure part a lot too, oddly enough)

Hey, man. I think we all think about our failures. It’s the easiest thing for the brain to do when it’s got time for introspection. Plus, our failures are gonna be what keep us up at night.
Of course, I think that’s because we learn from them, so we need to dwell on them some. But not too much.
And if you want something a little more positive with “27 years” in it, try “Communication” from The Cardigans’ Long Gone Before Daylight.

bull shit…. what did i tell you today about if you had never been born.
I meant it.
Regret your failures. Look forward with hope. We are meant for great things.
