the coming of age

well, tomorrow i am officially an age old. i have lived through times you wouldnt wish on your worst musical critiquing forum member. i will be 35. thats half of the life that my forefathers promised me.
yes i have the wrinkles and yes i have the grey hair.
has anything happened in those 35 years you might ask? well, of course. i helped thousands of people sit down comfortable in their homes. ive helped provide shoes for thousands of people who had more than enough shoes anyway. i lost my `cherry` on a veranda in spain. i've been burgled 3 times,, ive had 6 cats, 5 dogs, 2 frogs, 8 stick insects and 2 tortoises. i've lived and thrived in many places, not just england. i've trained at least 3 people in the art of making alcohol using just fruit, sugar, bread and water. i have trained more in the art of making it using real equipment. ive supported the barclay brothers in making their island, just off the end of the world, habitable. ive helped pay fellow musicians rent by loving and supporting them, i am in the process of supporting a very gifted musician ( my daughter) find her musical niche and have seen the great Elliot Smith live, twice. both times he changed my life.
the 2nd half of my existence will be more fun than the 1st. i dont know what the plans are, i'll let you know when i make some.
