Hour by hour we ripe and rot.

Similar sentiments here.

I've never considered 'losing touch' actually. I think the childhood/adult life paradigm is lame. We are not discreet entities, and I see no need to leave anything good about my youth behind along with the undesirable things I might have discarded.

When I look at the people about me, I count myself fortunate indeed.

I'm not bored. In fact, I've got the opposite problem. I tend to take too many things on. In fact, I'm a bit overwhelmed at the moment. Cool thing is, I'm published next month in this book. Buy a copy, eh?

I'm seriously glad I know you guys, and I look forward to the years ahead.

EDIT: I've got to wait to get home before I can check those youtube links.
