Independence

After having gone through six months of wretched Hepatitis C treatment I am finding myself a new person - less tolerant of other's stupidity than I have ever been (and I have always had a low tolerance for stupidity) and finding myself more aware of my own and other people's inconsistencies and justifications for the fucked up things they do and don't do to make their and others lives better.

There's a bigger point/issue there but it brings me to a favorite song of mine called "My Way" - NO NOT THE SAPPY FRANK SINATRA LOUNGE LIZARD SONG but a song by the band Los Lonely Boys...

My Way

I don't need no fortune
I don't need no fame
That's all just an illusion
To me it don't mean a thing

You can try and deceive me
But I see right through your skin
And what you're trying to tell me
Is something I don't believe in

Don't tell me how to live my life
Don't tell me how to pray
Don't tell me how to sing my song
Don't tell me what to say

Cuz I believe that miracles
happen every day
I don't care what you say,
I'm gonna do it my way

You say you have all the answers
And I should do it your way
How many times do I have to tell you
I ain't no puppet on a string
Listen to me...

Don't tell me how to live my life
Don't tell me how to pray
Don't tell me how to sing my song
Don't tell me what to say
Cuz I believe that miracles
happen every day
I don't care what you say,
I'm gonna do it my way
I'm gonna do it my way
What'd you say

Ohhhhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhhhh

Don't tell me how to live my life
Don't tell me how to pray
Don't tell me how to sing my song
Don't tell me what to say

Don't tell me how to live my life
Don't tell me how to pray
Don't tell me how to sing my song
Don't tell me what to say

Cuz I believe that miracles
happen every day

I don't care what you say
I'm gonna do it my way
I'm gonna do it my way
Ohhhhhhh I'm gonna do it my way


I'm getting to the point (at 44 years of age I realize it's a little late but better late than never they say) where I am realizing what I want and having the courage to do anything and everything to get it.
