40 is the old age of youth; 50 is the youth of old age

- Voltaire

I worry about death a lot more than I used to. I worry a lot more about legacy. But I worry a hell of a lot less about tangibles. I said something on a forum was "only $400" today - everybody (in that profession) should have one. Man, 15 years ago I fretted over a $35 FX box.

The way I look at it, I try to be a fuckload better off, a fuckload healthier, and a fuckload more entertained than most anybody else my age. So far, I'm doing pretty good. Funny thing happened, too - most of my life all my friends have been older. Some time about 2002 they started to all be younger.

I think it's the mindset. I've been late '20s/early '30s since I was 14 years old. Why let chronology get in the way of that?
