Random Thoughts or Whatever

[SuperjazzyJa]

Hmmm? Elvis would have been 90 this past January 8th.

Random thought: Why is that some of us are still teenagers...at heart?


Q

I was married, had 2 kids and well passed my teenage ways when extreme heavy metal began emerging from the underground and I still got into it. At the same time, I was listening to not just rock and roll, but jazz, classical and much more as a teenager. So, I guess there was already a trace of adult in me at a young age and a trace of teenager still remains.

Talked with a WWI vet once...years ago. And he shared one time with me, "If you completely grow up, you will be totally old. Gotta keep that spark in ya, kid!

So, good for you, SjJ! Don't lose that "t/t".

More mental-food for thought:

Said one gal to another, "I got the house, which is ironic. He always said that I was a lousy housekeeper!"


Q

Which may be why she got the house. In its condition he didn't want it.

True in more than one way, as "lousy" might also indicate a "troubled" mind...something that her partner had to deal with until parting was inevitable.

Just guessing, eh?

Having spoken to many people who listen to classical, apparently I am one of very few people who noticed that in the scene in "Wizard of Oz" when the scarecrow, tinman and lion are following Toto up the steps in the witch's castle to the room where Dorothy is being held captive, an excerpt from "Night on Bald Mountain" is playing.

I heard this early in life- and repeat it fairly frequently:

There's a part of every human with Y chromosomes, that remains 12 years old.

I don't care what the calendar says, that part will always be 12. The part that laughs at fart jokes and such- that's what I'm talking about.

I totally relate with being a trace of adult at a young age- I was the kid that would rather sit with my uncles and talk about engineering and science, instead of playing out in the yard with the other kids. But- even so- I still readily laugh at some of the silly kid things. Funny is funny, no matter what age you are

Regards,
Gordon.

Ironically, it's the inner child that keeps us blossoming.

Q

There's a theme going on here. I like Mr. Buffett's take on the matter.

I'm growing older but not up
My metabolic rate is pleasantly stuck
Let those winds of time blow over my head
I'd rather die while I'm living than live while I'm dead

"Arguing with a fool only proves that there are two present."

It is better to keep one's mouth shut and be thought a fool, than to open it and remove all doubt.

There's no fool like an old fool. ..

Except when one wants to use it for an advantage. There can occasions

Beauty is only skin deep. The problem is that some people have mighty thin skin.

I always heard that one as;

Beauty is only skin deep, but, ugly goes clear down to the bone

"Bonetired" was a heard a lot more in my distant past, but not so much lately.

More manual labour back then, like log splitting, sawing, drilling, digging...you name it!

Times change, and along with it...the language spoken.

I have a solution for California's air pollution problem.

Let all the clean air out of potato chip bags.

Yep, "Jimmy" had it right here. IMO

Growing older is mandatory. Growing up...optional.

I use the "above" from time to time, knowing it... don't hold much water.

Q

No longer tired, now it's stressed, or stressed out. Labor, good labor, has it's rewards. Relieves stress leaving one too tired to be stressed out. That's what I've heard.
