I think this is the first thread I’ve started that went to two pages - most of the time they sink like a rolling stone…interesting
(so much life to live, so little chance of doing it from behind this desk)
And if you should survive to 105
Look at all you’ll derive out of being alive
Then here is the best part
You have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart
(Young at Heart, memorably performed by Frank Sinatra)
BTW, I forgot to say - this thread looks to me like half polling, half sharing your current feelings, so I thought it could stay in MPSIMS.
Yes, I wondered where it should go, but I figured MPSIMS is the forum for when you’re not sure…
“Our lives are better left to chance, I could have missed the pain, but I’ve of had to miss the dance”
The Dance by Garth Brooks- Just because I’m listening to it right now.
“ROLL OUT!”
Ludacris (damn that catchy song!)
“god, sometimes you just don’t come through.”

“I looked death in the face last night
I saw him in the mirror
And he simply smiled
He told ne not to worry
He told me just to take my time.”
Oingo Boingo - We Close Our Eyes
“And so it goes, and I’m the only one who knows…” Billy Joel
well, it’s all right, even if you’re old and gray…
Feeling a bit silly tonight, and I don’t really want to be at work:
“I want to be,
under the sea.
In an octopuses’ garden,
in the shade…”
The Beatles, of course
Okay, different time, different mood, so I have a new quote. Same band, though.
The paths that I once tread
Have all but gone
Only embers now smoulder where bridges once burned
I feel alive and yet I fear what may happen now
I know I can’t return
And I hear me say again, oh let me not return
Damn the illusion of redemption and the hopes that held me here
I will oppose all that would befall me with this rage inside of me
I’ll defy what I would become
But can I start again? And erase this pain?
By casting doubts into the water, asking judgement of the sea
Though fortune may guide the fools, I have no wish to be free
Until I am gone…

I had a depressing day.
