Age Outline

after reading some of ginsberg's journal entries and notes, I was inspired to outline my life throughout the ages:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

age 15/16: feeling rebellious and wanting to take on the world, I meet my first girlfriend and TUPAC's BONNIE AND CLYDE blast out of my tiny car speakers.

age 18: desperate to become someone great, I move out to newyork to study film. I see a whole new world of experiences and begin to immerse myself into the arts.

age 20: for the next couple of years, I fall into the material world. My credit card debt surpasses 10 thousand dollars.

age 22: feeling miserable and lonely, I spend most weekends doing drugs and partying.

age 23: I feel as though I am the most intelligent person in the world. Nothing is above me/ but at the same time, I'm always contemplating the way my life is going.

age 25/26: I meet my wife. We're happy. We figure out our life together. There is no more need for endless nights of wandering.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

age 12: I am a born again Christian. I go to church every sunday and most of my free days are spent doing church related activities.

age 16: I am too busy spending time with my girlfriend to worry about GOD.

age 19: I start going to Church again. At a church meeting, I blame my ex-girlfriend for leading me away from Church. This is what I tell myself. A chance meeting with someone from church makes me angry. I despise her and make a film about my feelings on GOD.

age 21: I'd been attending church off and on. I read more on other religions and never spent time without pondering the meaning of my existence.

age 23: I'd been trying to feed as much knowledge into my brain as possible. I'm hungry for truth and information. I go to church as a routine but ultimately despise it.

age 24: I read Geneology of Morality by Nietzche. It opens my eyes but in some ways, I regret ever opening its pages.

age 25/26: I have found my own reason and logic. I consider myself an agnostic.
