" A legend is an old man with a cane known for what he used to do. I'm still doing it." - Miles Davis
Yesterday I turned 42, and while I live in modest circumstances and get around by public transit and foot, I feel as rich as a king.
Because, as I said, I turned 42 yesterday. I have a cool 14 year-old son and a beautiful woman who loves me madly, as I do her in return. I was bombarded with well wishes from family and friends, some of whom I've known since the age of 5, others I met just this past year. I am a king indeed. This life I have been given is my kingdom and I rule it. Sometimes, I can be conservative, using caution when deciding my next move as monarch. But, my usual method is to rule my kingdom like a dictatorship, getting all I can get out of it, SQUEEZING THE SHIT OUT OF IT. I laugh out loud, I blast my stereo, I point and snicker at terribly dressed people, I'm that dude that heckles poets, I hand out dollars to the needy and give advice for free. I skate, I fall off my board, and I skate some more. I live and I RULE.
