At some point after the age of 25 [I assume] you come a realization or acceptation that you will not live forever. Clubs don't become as appealing as they used to be [dinners become interesting] because you have done them all and maybe you don’t want to be as famous as you thought you would be. You realize that you want to be wealthy instead of rich, you want to nature local talent than to exploit it. You realize that this is a game no matter what you might believe. You acknowledge that infants are here to replace us. Then you know that you are getting old ... or it could just mean that you entering a new circle/age/era whatever you want to call it.

Lets face it, we wont live forever ... we only have a limited time here and as cliché as it might be - we but need to make the best of it. Sometimes that means doing something you haven't done before. If that means listing to Lil Wayne or Kanye West for the first time then so be it or if it means you will be into AC/DC then its cool. What if God said to you when you get to heaven - that the meaning of your purpose in life was hidden in track 09 of Drake's second album - mean while you never got to listen to it? What would you do then? Would you regret it? Would you argue your point with God?

The poem by William Shakespeare - Seven Stages of Men is the only thing I've taken with me from high school and it seems not alot of people dont know much about it [sigh]. I wouldn't like to live till the second childhood [this reminds me, I need to go see my grandmother tomorrow] stage but I would love to live out the other stages as much as I can. Tell my own story when I get to heaven or Hell, tell God that I did use up all the opportunities he gave me. In a nut shell learn as much as you can - its all you got.
