Holy crap. My friends are dying all around me and it's freaking me out. How much time could I possibly have left? six years? twenty six years? I used to think it was so stupid when I would hear some old person say "youth is wasted on the young" and I would think oh, here we go...and you had to walk two miles to school, blah lbah blah blah blah. Well, let me tell you...youth is wasted on the young.Laceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06707866603299800164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576769111370725859.post-25521972869399794032007-12-26T07:10:00.000-08:002007-12-26T07:10:00.000-08:00I've been thinking of how you never know what is j...<I>I've been thinking of how you never know what is just around the corner, and I've been wondering what I believe that should mean to me right now. </I><BR/><BR/>thank you for bringing this up for me. i have much to think about today.<BR/><BR/>meanwhile, you're traipsing across the world, living your life <I>Right Now!</I> in a magnificent way.BigAssBellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00196713522104157126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576769111370725859.post-60369732249682539782007-12-22T04:24:00.000-08:002007-12-22T04:24:00.000-08:00You blow me away young lady.

We all need to be more like that and help one another out. I was watching a dvd the other day with my 3 little girls and it was the history of Disneyland.

It's so easy to return to the feeding trough of work and rent/mortgage and then "wake up" again a year later thinking the same thoughts. Good for you for writing these thoughts down now, for your sake (and ours).<BR/><BR/>120? I want to see this solar system out, travel to another galaxy, but the Cabana boys sound like a good plan, too, and possibly more realistic.<BR/><BR/>Well done for stopping to help that person. Yes, of course there are risks when you interact with strangers, but you and Tammy are right in that WE create the world we live in.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the inspiration.
