"I got a baby's brain and an old man's heart - took eighteen years to get this far" ~ Alice Cooper

My son turns 18 tomorrow.

I remember 18.. When you're 18, you've got King Kong balls. You're gonna live forever and you know every damn thing there is to know.

Its really, really hard to sit back and watch him make so many of the same mistakes I made. But I know, he's gotta learn for himself.. Truth is, I've never been much good at teaching him anything, even when he was a young boy.

I'm hardly a good example for anyone to follow. He'd likely do better to use me as an example of what NOT to do.

Happy birthday, son. I love you.
