To be a kid at heart? Is this a possible task? What exactly does it mean? Is it relative?
Yes, please. A double shot of my “real laugh” for $200, Alex.
Why? If you any thing like me you have two laughs, your “real laugh” and your “normal laugh.”
I don’t know how many people can relate to that statement. Or the one before it. It was a Jeopardy joke. And, as I write this, I realize I forgot about the Jeopardy legend moving to the bonus rounds of the afterlife.

I am curious to know who took his place or if they even tried to replace Alex Trebeck. It’s not the point. I just realized that the joke was outdated. (No Pun intended)
I remember fondly the times of my twenties. Young and full of passion about everything. I thought I knew everything wrong with the world and, most importantly, how to fix it. I am out in the world looking to make my place and stake my claim at fame and fortune. At this stage of life, passion is all that matters to me. I was young and leaning on where my heart was. I was making mistakes and learning as I went.
I followed my heart as best as I thought I should.
It was my time to be at the pulse of the world. Push the boundaries of what people said could be done and what was taboo.
I heard stories about people who lost their lives and had their dreams crushed by the sirens and the allures of the limelight.
“That’s not going to be me,” I told myself.
I put my head down and went to work with my brother to carve out a way to the top of this musical art form called Hip Hop.
I wasn’t as bad as I could have been, nor was I squeaky clean. It was a time of sex, drugs, and music: danger and the hint of success. A growing rapper needs everything to win in this cold-hearted land of illusions.
What is the point? Glad you asked.
Would I go back to these times? No. Why? Because I know what I know now. We aren’t meant to be at the pulse of the world forever. Whether you agree with the statement or not, it doesn’t dilute the truth of this cultural fact. In the world of entertainment, it’s even worse.
Who is to say that if you did return to what you know, it wouldn’t worsen the pain?
Does knowing more information equal a better shot at success?
