If nothing else, it was nice to "get this story out of me". I
   never know what I'm going to write until I feel challenged, and
   with each story I tell, my autobiography and my understanding of
   myself increases tremendously.

   As a kid, I avidly ate up all "Future Tomorrow" type stuff...
   and, well, I believe it. When CDs came out, they were going to
   last FOREVER. [they were on a "Science of Tomorrow" type show I
   saw when I was 8 or 9... a couple of years before they came out;
   they were basically theoretical/being perfected at the time].

   Oh, I really should see if I can find a stockpile online of
   those old "Beyond Tomorrow" shows [I think that was the title]
   and compare the predictions to what actually happened! Oh,
   that'll be fun tongue emoticon
