Cogito Ergo Doom

I think, therefore I am doomed

Quote reblogged from Wolfy's Howls

Beginning around 1990, when I turned twenty-five, I refocused my sights on my ultimate goal and began writing songs in earnest.

I find it fascinating how many people find focus at 25. It must be a quarter-life crisis type thing.

I did something similar right before 25. May of 1990 is when I left home and my hometown, and set off for the big city (Chicago) with nothing except a desire to convert to Judaism. I had few possessions and no money to speak of. I was 5 months shy of my 25th birthday and, looking back through 46 year old bifocaled eyes, was well and truly a reckless fool. :)
