Crazy times, but I do miss the intensity that life seemed to have back then. / / /     / / / You were a hard faced kid; That was new on the block; An unknown life force; That nobody could stop / / /  

This is how I feel today. Knowledge is power. Doing things is power. Having agenda and sticking to it is power. You can be like a sharpened knife when you go and claim the world without waiting for anyone giving anything to you.
