When you wake up

There is a certain point in your life when you realize that the Secret Decoder Ring unlocks a commercial. That special time in your life when the New And Improved Ultra Robot Destruction Unit turns out to be three inches tall. It's when you wake up and smell the coffee. It's when it's time to pay the piper. You come to realize that you will not hit the lottery. Elvis is dead. There is no Santa Clause. Love stinks. Your job is a deadend. Charlie Brown will never kick the football. One man's trash is another man's trash, too.
It's that Lucid Moment when you realize that the bad years WERE the good years.
It's an awakening.
It's when number six is number one.
The President nominates Harriet Miers.
The other shoe falls.
It is the day that you finally understand that you are, after all, only a number.
That you were only lying to yourself.
You are a dreamer.
Life sucks. Then you die.

That day has not yet arrived in my life.
There is a land called Honoly.
Transformers are real.
I love my wife.
We buy cereal for the toy.
Bugs Bunny Rules.
And my dad can kick your dad's ass.
