34

I turned 34 today. Thought I'd share some life lessons that I've learned along the way.

-No matter how hard you try, you can't fight adulthood.

-We all want to love and be loved. The harder one tries to fight that notion, the harder that person's life is.

-Hipsters live in the now and don't often think about the past. Historians try to live in the now by comparing it with the past.

-The wrong person dissuades you from fulfilling your potential. The right one encourages you no matter what.

-You don't have to be friends with everybody, but try to be as friendly as you can.

-Don't wait until someone's funeral to say how much that person means to you.

-One of the best icebreakers in a conversation is saying, "Hi."

-Like Mr. T says, if you can believe it, you can be it.

-Life is what happens when you're not on social media.

-If you're going through hell, just keep on going.

Happy Birthday, Eric! Looks like you have some wisdom accumulating there. Wow...34. Makes me feel OLD, because I think, when I was 34, my daughter wasn't even in Kindergarten yet, and now she's a jr. in HS! So if you start feeling old for some odd reason, just think, "hey, I'm not as old as J!"

Go Where You Wanna Go

It's been a year since I moved away from Lakewood, and even though I could relocate to a new place as a newly-single guy, I've chosen to stay where I am. I enjoy living in North Dallas/Richardson given its central location, being not too far away from places I have enjoyed going to in my fourteen-plus years living in Dallas County. Living in Lakewood for nine years was critical for me, but I am glad I don't have homeless people going through my garbage, my street getting shut down like it's Mardi Gras on Halloween night, and I don't have to answer to the not-so-friendly landlords who bought my old place. I have a new housemate moving in at the end of the month and I have many reasons to be excited as he's been a friend for many years. Couple that with a humongous  new record store opening in nearby Farmers Branch , shows to see, and a quick trip to Los Angeles for something very cool (for which I reveal at a later date) and I'm happy to say fall is sha...
