40

well, today is the big day.

I am 40 years old. I was born at 10:37pm on June 3, 1967. The Summer of Love.

There are a lot of emotions wrapped up in "turning" 40. Far to many to wrap my brain around and comment on here. As I was writing this, my ipod just shuffled over to this song by the Flaming Lips, Do You Realize? and the lyrics seemed rather apropos.


Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize - we're floating in space -
Do You Realize - that happiness makes you cry
Do You Realize - that everyone you know someday will die

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun don'-go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do You Realize - Oh - Oh - Oh
Do You Realize - that everyone you know
Someday will die -

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun don'-go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize
