For me personally, the greatest benefit to being old (so far) is the end of overthinking. There’s a big difference between a) analyzing all the options and taking action and b) being paralyzed by all the possibilities and letting ‘the Moment’ pass you by.

Well, it’s the weekend. Feeling it in my soul more than my loins at the moment. Things are moving fast. Enjoy the weekend, gang!
I miss these guys. And Dupri hasn’t cut many beats better…

BOYZ II MEN! I didn’t know you had it in you!!!! Have a good Valentine’s weekend everyone!
