July 1st was my birthday. My best friend Moisses from high school used to make fun of me when I would do what he would call in his best Walter Cronkite voice "The Year in Review" Damn I said Walter Cronkite I must be getting old. Anyways here it goes.
1. This year I learned that although it is important to continue to have faith in people they can still disappoint you. If one stays mindful of this then they have a greater capacity for forgiveness of the dissappointer and the disapointee. I'm still working on the latter.
2. Laughter is soooooo important. Still working on that one.
3. My mom's favorite phrase during my youth up was "Fuck the Dumb Shit! I guess she was right.
4. I'm 39 now and this will be my last official year as a "thirtysomethinger". I could cram a whole bunch of stuff into this year in an effort to get it in before I'm officially 40. But that would be dumb. I'm just happy to be alive.
5. I used to watch thirtysomething when I was about 17. I remember being so intrigued by the lives of the white middle class folks in that show whose lives had absolutely nothing to do with my experience at the time. That's the magic of TV I guess. I guess the fact that I just bought a house makes me middle class. But I'm not white so I'm still a little curious about the connection. I think I might rent all the episodes on netflix just to see what all the fuss in my imagination was about.
Ok there it is. This has been yet another year in review. I'm Craig Knight and that's the way it is.

Happy belated birthday!
I also watched "thirtysomething" prior to being thirtysomething. Yes, it would be interesting to get an updated take on that show. From what I remember, the characters were likable.

Finally, I have made the time to visit your blog and very much enjoyed what you had to say. Well, happy birthday, old chum, and I believe, with all of my heart, that you are doing very well for yourself, young man. Perhaps I will create a blog so that I could shed some of my ideas and experiences. In fact, that is what I will do. Peace out, brother, and we will speak with each other soon.
