"Tomorrow" is my 30th birthday. I put that in quotes because I am actually writing this on February 14th, a whole 6 months left in my 20s. I am sitting at TSMA's house after a few hours of drinking listening to him play his guitar upstairs. I am angry with my job, my life and the lack of progress I think I've made in my 29 years. I am sad because it disappoints me. I am broken because I think I disappoint my kids.

In any event, this song rings true as it always has, and especially now because, well, 29 and you'd think I'd know better, living like I do...



Time won't stand by forever if I know it's true
And I've learned not to say never
Or else I'll seem the fool
Twenty-nine you'd think I'd know better
Living like a kid
When my lies may seem less than clever
Is when I fall for it
Only time will tell if wishing wells
Can bring us anything
Or fade like scenes from childhood dreams
Forgotten memories
Some rides don't have much of a finish
That's the ride I took
Through good and bad and straight through indifference
Without a second look
There's no intentions worthy of mention
If we never try
So hang your hopes on rusted-out hinges
Take 'em for a ride
Only time will tell if wishing wells
Can bring us anything
Or fade like scenes from childhood dreams
Forgotten memories
Only time will tell...
