My definition of personal success has changed a lot in my short 36 years.
Thirty years ago: Convinced father to purchase Star Wars Hammerhead action figure for me. Success! (side note: the next day, was playing with hammerhead in giant sand pile. left hammerhead in sand pile. sand pile used in cement for swimming pool. hammerhead still in that pool somewhere...)
Twenty years ago: Successfully constructed my own personal beer bong from some plastic tubing and an oil funnel. Named bong "robo-bong". (side note: robo-bong was destroyed in 1992 in a freak accident. thankfully.)
Ten years ago: Brave enough to get on a stage and try to perform Steely Dan's "Kid Charlemagne" guitar solo. I thought it went well. (side note: I taped that performance. it didn't go well. ten years later i still make mistakes on that solo).
Yesterday: Registered my facebook vanity URL with my full name, no spaces, no underscores, dashes, dots. nothing. just my pure clean name. awaiting seo credit impatiently.
Looking forward to 2019!
