Epiphany
>> Monday, January 29, 2007
Last night I was down at a friend's place for dinner when I had an epiphany. I have finally figured out why it is that life is so difficult: I am climbing a hill. "Climbing a hill?" you ask. Yes my friends, we are all climbing hills. It came to my realization when somebody said "Your dad's what, 68? Damn, he's over the hill..."
And then it hit me. I'm still climbing that proverbial hill.
Although I suppose that saying life is easier once you've crested the hill is a gross assumption on my part. After all, my dad still works 40 hours a week, and by all indications he will continue to do so until he drops dead in the traces.
Well. That's it I guess. It all seems sort of anti-climactic now. But I'm telling ya, if I had been a cartoon, a little light bulb would've magically appeared above my head while angels sang the hallelujah chorus in the background...
As it would be too much work to upload video showing a dramatic re-enactment of the event, I will put up an artist's (that's a bit of a stretch) rendition instead.

And now you all know why I'm not making my living as an illustrator.
