Your Glory Days

Behind you? Ahead? Now?

Christ, I'm only 23, I hope they're ahead of me.

in what respect?
partyin till the sun comes up, drinking enough to make my liver angry?
right now
being successfull? hopefully in the future
not having a care in the world? far far behind me

In whatever respect you choose. I have friends that can't get past their "greatness" in high school. You know the people - the same old stories. On the other hand, I'm one of those people who feels like I haven't done anything yet...

So, I'm hoping they're ahead.

good answer.

past. at the bar.endless pitchers of millr light for free. girls thinking i'm a "local hero". had more fun in grand rapids, michigan than you could think possible. i really miss those days in Mulligan's Pub. i almost want to cry. thanks for posting this really.

You are so cool. I was going to say that, but then I got all weepy...

been there and about to go again.

They passed me by in the wink of a young girl's eye.

If you live in the present and exist in the world that surrounds you, you always live in your glory days. If you spend too much time pining over the past or wishing for the future, you will never experience them. Does anyone really think they are in their "glory days" when they are happening, or is this term just applied retroactively, wistfully, Springsteen-ey?

I *REALLY* hope that they're in front of me.

it's a song about the futility of living in the past.

I'm a sad shrivelled wreck of a man with nothing much to look forward to.

Except the intensely amazing love of a good woman, which I found relatively recently. I'm going to lie down for the next few years and bask in that.

Sorry? Yes dear, yes, I'm coming ....

*scurries off*


Edit: woman, singular.

behind. i dont stick it to the man like i used to.

My glory days are ahead of me..

I'm tired of following my dreams..i'll just ask them where they are going and hook up with em' later.

Ahead. Always ahead...

I still don't have any concubine asassasins: AHEAD.

i'm living them right now.

right now, baby.

One of the things that got me through high school was the thought that, for all the jocks and cheerleader types, high school (and *maybe* college) was *it* for them, the prime of their life, and after that, all downhill. For me? It's been gravy ever since, and keeps getting better.

Probably being a maniac options trader during the last few months of the dotcom boom, being a broker for clients who were making ungodly amounts of money by just being in the market. I barely had to do shit. Then everything went horribly, horribly wrong

Automatic 5 cool points for the Springsteen reference.

Now, Right now.









This very instant.






Now. Now. Now.
