I think I hear wedding bells for Sam and Shael.

It'll be over his dead body Argonian...trust me on that one.

sing along with My Chemical Romance... "Teenagers scare the living shit out of me..."

I love that song. I have a 17 yo daughter so it rings true

i don't want to get old. i am afraid that i just don't do it well.
i've noticed that out of my friends, i am the only one left without a wife, kids, or a live-in girlfriend... i cannot stomach that life. I mean, I am 35 and my life, statistically, is half over. What have I done with it? Nothing. Nada. Zip. Will anyone remember me when I'm gone? Probably not.

fuck i am melancholy tonight.
is this emo?

Oh just stop! There are plenty of us here that will remember you for a long time to come. You are very lucky, Shael understands you in ways that a wife or kids couldn't. Sometimes I wish I had gone the route you did. I have been very fortunate in the blessings that I have but wish I had stood my ground and not crushed to the pressures of taking the next step. Those being getting married and having kids because that is how it supposed to be.

Guess I am being that way to

Right now...my mp3 player makes me feel old.

My cousin's daughter came over and poked around in it and she was like, "Who the fuck are these people?"

I guess a 15 year old has no clue who The Rolling Stones, Warren Zevon, Bobby Bare, among others are.

Also...this is so sad...I'm sure everybody remembers Bismarkie? (I know, I can't spell) This guy is doing kids shows now. Yo Gabba Gabba...the one with the big red dildo looking guy. (I'm watching my nephew, somebody kill me now because I'm stuck watching Noggin 24/7 while he's here. He's absolutely enthralled by Broby.)

Sam will probably never get married, I don't know if it's just not in him or not him or if it's just the idea of going through with something so life changing. Myself, I just like keeping options open. Honestly, it doesn't matter if we ever do or not to me. The only concerns I have are for the legalities of the situation. It worries me that someday, something will happen to one of us and the other will be left with no recourse in regards to investments, life insurance, possessions or other items, at least where my family's concerned with him anyway. If something happens to me, my family can rake him over the coals in that respect. Otherwise, it's a someday thing, like I keep telling him. It's not something that has to happen immediately, but rather...if and when we ever decide to get around to it.

Neither of us have kids, neither of us have a whole lot, but the few things I do have, I've already left instructions on their dispossession in my own handwriting where Sam and my mom can find them. I work on the safe side of the mill, but one wrong move and...well, you get the idea. Nobody knows what's going to happen from one day to the next. It's not a really safe place to work sometimes, especially with the new people they hired.

It's just in the case should we ever move in together and actually go buy that house that he's thinking about. I trust his family, I don't trust my own not to do something stupid if something happens to me, even with a will.

That's what really makes me feel old...actually having to think about having a will drawn up.

What makes me feel old is the change in weather... my aching joints.

I pretty much am oblivious to my aging. I work w/18-22 year olds and pretty much am use to their way of being. Aristotle said something about when an older person takes on the ways of the young, it's like an old man wearing a red cloak. LOL, you just look like an idiot. But really I don't care, I mean I do when I'm aware of it, but most of the time I'm not. Sometimes the "life half over thing" bugs me, but usually I'm oblivious.

Doing my taxes, and the taxes of my roommates, makes me feel old. It's quite, ahem, taxing.
