A day in the life of Keyro

I used to think that I could help people. Now I understand that I need help. I always needed help.

Steve Jobs changed the world with his innovations but the most valuable thing we got from him was the inspiration to look up from our desks and ask “Is this what I want to be doing?” Here’s to you Steve! You showed the world that there is nothing more important than living their dreams. You died having spent every day exactly how you wanted, no regrets. I hope that when I pass I will have the peace of knowing that I did the same.

On Coffee and Company

Last night at about 2 A.M. I meet a girl at the Yellow Deli. I literally did not stop talking to that girl until 10 A.M.the following morning, I would have stayed longer but seeing as how I had already missed my first class and was an hour late for my second I was beginning to feel irresponsible. 

To talk to anyone for 8 hours is pretty much unheard of with me, sorry I just don’t find very many of you interesting for that long. With her, I could have sat for days. We both were supposed to be doing work, neither of us actually did. We just sat there and chatted to the point where both of us were beginning to fall asleep mid-sentences.

Cute huh? I guess, but if you know me at all you know this story must have a twist; they all do. After speaking with her for many hours she asked me how old I was, I wanted to lie because I thought she she may be 20 or maybe 21. I told her the truth though that I was 19. To this she looked down and chuckled and with a certain element of dread I assisted her how old she was. 26. 

Now I say dread not because I care that she is older, no I am both sufficiently infatuated and entirely unconcerned with silly constructs like age. She is engaging, interesting, intelligent and very, very beautiful. She was taken aback by my age, I guess my demeanor had indicated I was much older. Funny, girls my age think I act much to old and older girls think I am much to young. After several “kid” jokes I know that she at least feels much older. 

Anyway, the conversation obviously did not stop there. I fear that I may have, as a I always seem to do, spoken to much about myself and heard so little about her. I hope to get another shot, I have her number and perhaps she will humor this kid for another cup of coffee. 

I really do hope so. 

Much Love,
