Kid Ego

DISCLAIMER: The first few episodes are intended to get to know "Uncle Dave" a bit better and get accustomed to some of his story and his way of speaking.  The tribe is gathering and the clan is forming.  The guests are coming!!!

 

In the late 80's there was this song that resonated with me as I moved out of my teenage years into adulthood and that song was "Kid Ego". It was sung by one of the many hair rock bands that the late 1980's built. This song talked about an individual who was all EGO.  Someone who wouldn't listen to advice. Our Ego feeds us what we want to hear and we chase the shiny objects until the day it comes back to us. 

For me the day of reckoning came last year when I made an attempt on my life. I learned my lessons and as the song goes - a little modesty would suit you better.  Once I gave it a try I rose once again after remembering who I am.  The bigger they are the harder the fall and I fell. 

My friend who will alway be a part of me - Kid Ego is now put to rest because of who I really am is "Uncle Dave".
