i don't know

So I'm doing the typical Facebook peruse (stalk implies I'm harboring an unhealthy obsession for one particular person)

and I've come to notice the influx of shameless self promotion that is now commonplace in the Facebook status game:

CHECK OUT MY BLOG!

DOWNLOAD MY NEW SINGLE!

INVEST IN MY PONZI SCHEME!

Then it hit me like that churn in your stomach after you got cut from JV-9 Tennis. It wasn't even JV. The fuck?

Where was I...ah yes, I'm getting old.

Not old like prostate exams and Zegna sweaters, but old like "it's time to get my shit together"

My peers and I are at the age where people begin to produce, to create.
We've heard of Rick Rubin founding Def Jam in his NYU Dorm Rooms or
Jerry Seinfeld getting a big break as "Frankie the Mail Delivery Boy" on Benson at age 21...

I'm not ready for this! I like juiceboxes and Super Nintendo.

My insides crawl again...
Super Nintendo is 20 fuckin' years old....
I've beaten Super Mario World thirty-two times.
"It's time to get my shit together"

Eventually, one has to cease complacency and go for the gold....or investor money secured by fraud.

I'm reminded of the final lines of a song from the Broadway show Avenue Q entitled, "I Wish I Could Go Back to College"

But if I were to go back to college,
Think what a loser I'd be-
I'd walk through the quad,
And think "Oh my God..."
"These kids are so much younger than me."


If you're like me, you're comfortable with how things are going. But if you're really like me, you're wondering where they're gonna go
We all want to stay in college, but I realize if there was ever a time to pursue a dream, it's now.
And those who pursue dreams now become successful later.

So I say props to the Jared Evans and the Andrew Banks of the world

But fuck any "nightlife events marketing promotion" company telling me they cater to the young and affluent.

They're not creating shit.
