Psychotherapists/psychoanalysts/psychologists and other flavors of psycho- are friends you pay for.

Although its important to never mistake a psychopath or a psychotic person as a friendly form of psycho- those are BAD psycho-’s

hugo – one of my sisters gave me some alltunes credit for my birthday last month. I think the mastercard for alltunes is working again now though.

I do have an mp3 of it but its a bit mushed.

It was like a cross between Monty Python and Douglas Adams on crack. Far too frightening to subject the public to

I like a lot of music. I have pretty broad taste in music. Generally anything with a lot of good guitar is likely to appeal to me. I impressed one aging rocker at a bar once because he had put Alice Cooper ‘Poison’ on the jukebox and turned around to notice that I was enthusiastically singing along and knew all the words.

We spent the rest of the evening arguing over whether there was a “girls, girls girls” other than the Motley Crew one (silly man had never heard of Sailor – dodgy dodgy one hit wonder)

BTW thanks for indirectly introducing to the musical brilliance that is Van Halen (via your last.fm profile). I love discovering new artists that I like.

I am far too hyper at the moment. If I’m not careful I’ll start trying to write a novel or something. I’m supposed to be studying.

and funnily enough, not only is Val playing Dave, but he also recently wrote a song about Lou Reed!

And guess who I’m seeing tomorrow night! Lou’s playing a gig in SF!

As far as the last 20 years go well your starting point there is 16 so you probably wasted the first 5-10 years suddenly realizing that there were girls and trying to find new and ingenious ways of getting them to have sex with you (actually I have a feeling that guys never really get over that phase they just get better at multitasking).

Then there’s all that inconvenient learning about how the world and business work. They may not have been a barrel of laughs but at least you learned something.

The point is that people who go out and have their own seriously impressive startup are the exception not the rule (I won’t even finish uni until I’m 23 and that’s assuming I don’t fail anything) and the world wasn’t set up for 20 year old genius’s when you had the opportunity to fall into the category.

In case you hadn’t noticed I’ve done this kind of pep-talk before. Colin goes through “I’m all old. Where is my life going? Why don’t I have lots of money and pretty cars and a nice house?” phases ALL the time and he has 8 more years to whinge about than you
