am i really comfortable with who i am? for the most part, yes. i don't like my weight, or the clothes in the closet. but that is usual -- most would want some improvements in those areas. i do know that i am a good dad, and that God has blessed me in this way. i can always be better. i think about my younger years, like mr. browne below and i really do agree with the thought of how did i get to where i am now...
it may not have been the straightest or smoothest road, but it led me to this desk, this city, my home. and even though some of the times have been sort of 'crazy', i am thankful that i had the trip. better than the alternative anyway...

running on empty -- jackson browne
looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields
in sixty-five i was seventeen and running up one-o-one
i don't know where i'm running now, i'm just running on
running on - running on empty
running on - running blind
running on - running into the sun
but i'm running behind
gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive
trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive
in sixty-nine i was twenty-one and i called the road my own
i don't know when that road turned onto the road i'm on
running on - running on empty
running on - running blind
running on - running into the sun
but i'm running behind
everyone i know, everywhere i go
people need some reason to believe
i don't know about anyone but me
if it takes all night, that'll be all right
if i can get you to smile before i leave
looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
i don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels
i look around for the friends that i used to turn to to pull me through
looking into their eyes i see them running too
running on - running on empty
running on - running blind
running on - running into the sun
but i'm running behind
honey you really tempt me
you know the way you look so kind
i'd love to stick around but i'm running behind
you know i don't even know what i'm hoping to find
running into the sun but i'm running behind
it may not have been the straightest or smoothest road, but it led me to this desk, this city, my home. and even though some of the times have been sort of 'crazy', i am thankful that i had the trip. better than the alternative anyway...
