Regression/Progression

Man, I feel like I'm finally doing all the things I never did before. Things I should have, experiences that I missed, all with an open-mindedness I didn't possess before. It's so liberating in a sense. It's as if I'm 18 again all over and looking at the world wide-eyed. Well, not so wide-eyed, maybe "open-eyed" (or something to that effect). Thursday night I was driving through Times Square at 4am in my own car and it was just surreal. Sure, it was something I should have done...might have done years ago, but the fact is that I didn't. Then last night, I stayed out all night -- had a great time -- feeling like I was my younger self, but somehow more grounded. It's as if I should have gone out every Saturday ages ago but did not. Well, I suppose time's a wastin' and to do all the things I've ever wanted to -- both the frivolous and the meaningful -- I'd better get crackin'.
