Daily Epiphany (x2)

Today I was pushing my mom's bike down the street to get the tires filled at one fo the local servos and I had two epiphanies (brought on either by the incredible scenery or the extreme cold).

One was that it was nice to walk down the street and not worry about being attacked by vicious dogs. Just as I was having that thought, I was scared out my boots by a piercing bark from a boxer that was thankfully tied up the porch of the house I was walking by. So much for that.

The second one was that even though I'm 33, I feel very young. I feel more like 22. I don't know how to explain this. Maybe I don't feel like I thought I would at 33 when I was 22 and thinking about how I should or would feel at 33. Whatever the case, I don't feel old. I like this feeling. Who wouldn't, right? The thing I wonder about is how long is going to last. One day, perhaps, I'm going to look in the mirror and not feel 22 anymore. Maybe I'll be 55 and feel 55. What then?

That's great that you feel younger. I myself feel older. So run with it. Unfortunately, the feeling doesn't last forever.

thats because you ARE young. You have no responsibilities, you have no bad ass job, you have just finished what amonts to a two year vacation. (can not convince me apia was anything but). And you evidently can sponge off your parents and have money to burn. If that isn't young then we must be talking about a different species.

Go get wife and kids, a house that is to big, a car that can transport an army, and some really bad job.......you will feel 'your age' quite fast.

Finally its obvious you are young because you are talking about this golden period, and any one who was at all mature would have the sense to keep their mouth shut about it, least they tempt the gods to take it away for lack of appreciation.

You really need to apply to law school, time is awasting. Think of all the neat people you would meet who desperately want to be your friend and make you miserable in the process.

Eat the cats in a nice stir fry, sell everything you own, and half of what you can steal from your mother, and go to Thialand and smoke dope and practice vippassana meditation and Thai massage. Then come home and specialize in giving foot massages to amputees. ......

You need to get real drunk so you can wake up feeling like you deserve to feel.

Bye the way.....just what is 385 days away for you? Must be the time you have to burn even if you aren't trying to do something worthwhile down pairodice way.

Hope you had a good thanksgiving.
