1969

I was but a newborn babe back then -
the luminous toddler with no teeth!
*lol*

No teeth - but a sense of humor already!

A little later on now...

1972
with my first Big Doggie...

I grew up fast, didn't I...! *lol*
Tinha mais peso que juizo!
Mas ainda assim...
Dieu Merci, je ne parlais pas encore Français
(pas encore contaminé par le joual québécois!)
I was even further away, though,
from mastering Shakespeare's language...
What progress made since...!
Progress rhymes with regress though -
ever noticed that?
Same concept as when one notices that
"winning" rhymes with "losing"...
It must be that way in order to
convey us a message, surely...?
For we lose so much
- the innocence, the youthful enthusiasm,
the freedom, the carefree joy -
as we supposedly ''gain''
with added years
poise, experience, grit...
Do we really gain anything at all,
em verdade...?
The epitomy of all this is to see
BAD rhyming with SAD;
how ironic when, as kids, we all want to be
''bad'' to the bone...
We all want to be a bad a$$...
to be perceived as bad as we can possibly be!
Hailed as tough enough, at all costs,
only to find ourselves unhappy about it
and dissatisfied ultimately
- but such a fate is so well-deserved...!
Progress-regress...
Winning is losing...
To be bad is to be sad...
Aye, all these plays on words
convey something all right...
For then, there might be hidden wisdom
somewhere in there, hmm?
Não é verdade...?
Unless our favored language
was poorly constructed, that's all!
If so, then, even at my most nostalgic
and philosophical,
I can be whimsical and reference
a fellow great comical intellect
and tremendous influence since
well, way back then -
Weird Al Yankovic, who once summed it up
so very eloquently indeed
even if he was using his native language:
"nothing really matters"
:-!

Aye - way to go, W.A.Y.
I guess!

Betcha his baby pictures
aren't as good as mine though!
I shall keep the bulk of them
ssssecret - a while longer!
;-)
