all of our threads are humbling when you look at them from the perspective of the man you are now. However, in the proper context, it is simply the saga of a man becomming.
As I also recently read your whole thread in more or less one sitting, I can say honestly that it is as poinient (sp?) continuitous stream of thought and evolution as any. Don't be ashamed of what has made you.
As to the future, it is being written by you. Sharpen your pencil and get to it.
Strength and honor
