I have been 250 miles above the arctic circle.

I have walked on the bottom of the ocean

I have run, walked, swam, and climbed great distances.

I have witnessed commets, meteor showers, eclipses, the aroara borialis, hurrecains, blizzards, sand storms, ice storms, 30 foot seas, the birth of a child, the death of a man, and some other really interesting stuff.

I have been bitten by 3 dogs, 1 cat, 1 fish, and 2 children.

I have been beaten up, allot.

I made people laugh and cry.

I curled allot of toes.

I swam with live sharks in the wild, without a cage.

I payed my bills, on time.

I stopped at crosswalks.

I told the truth, even though it hurt me.

I lied when I had nothing to gain.

I caused an accident, on purpose.

I saved the lives of 2 people.

I never waited for a thank you.

I deserve all the bad things that ever happend to me.

I worked hard for anything good, knowing I didnt deserve it.

I tried hard to please people who used me.

I took for granted people who cared about me.

I have hunted, captured, killed, cleaned, cooked, and eaten to survive.

I live with regret, but not for long.

I will die, someday. My words will vanish.

But boy, did I live. Paul J. Desmarais Jr.
