Sure you can face another decade!
So you've reached the big FIVE-O ... big deal.
You got problems? Sure, but check this out:
I'm 51.
I've been married 3 times.
I've been divorced 3 times
I have 6 children, 2 of which are illegitimate, and of different colors.
In each divorce, I walked away with just the shirt on my back.
I've been busted 4 times for various reasons.
Faced 2 grand juries.
Was committed to YPI (Yale Psychiatric Clinic) in 1978 for "observation."
Had a programming partner who robbed me blind, and embezzled from my company.
Went bankrupt twice.
Been in 3 major car accidents, my fault, of course.
Lost my Dad to cancer recently.
My older brother was murdered in 1994.
My younger brother is in prison for murder for life.
My last house burned down to the ground last year.
Half my family is in the mafia, and the other half are running from the law.
I'm convinced my sister practices witchcraft.What else can I tell you?
Have I contemplated suicide, yes ... but when I think how EXCITING my life has
been, negative or otherwise, I thank God for giving me another day, another
chance to experience what it means to be human.Stay in the club, Harry ... don't disappoint the other members!
