when i was in high school i spent all this time waiting for something, you know, maturation, or experience, or the end of high school, something, fuckin anything but this. i had this idea that there was something coming.. and then things will be different.
you know?
i didnt know what it was, but eventually all this stuff that was holding me back was gonna fade away and i was gonna be free and happy.
id be me and my life would be just how i thought it should be. id be fuckin flying. thered be nothing holding me down.
and here i am, half a decade later. still waiting for something to give me permission to fly. im just sittin on the tarmac not doin a fuckin thing. im out of high school now, and i have a car, and i have sex, and im still waiting for that magical thing that will unlock my life. a good job, or meeting the right people, or another move, or whatever.
its not coming. this is how it is.
this is how its gonna be

Sorry, sounds like a song from West Side Story. Hopefully your something is different, I don't wanna find out that you fell for a gangsters sister and end up slain by the girls exboyfriend or something.
There is no key. At least not the way you think. I thought 1982 was going to be my year. I would graduate high school, go to college and there was that certain something about that year. That year came and went for me. Now, many years later its come around to bite me. Not only was an important person in my life born that year, but my the house I now own was built that year. There have been other things that I won't bore you with having to do with that year. But the key you're looking for isn't going to make itself known until after the fact, if at all.
Missed you for the radio show last night.
