i lost my virginity: ...but it's around here...somewhere...
...and it has left me feeling a little nostalgic this morning. So, I don my wise-old-sage hat and give a little advice to anyone who cares to read:LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST, PEOPLE!
This sentiment has been expressed so many times in so many ways:
"Carpe Diem", "Live like you were dying", "Live each day like it's your last" (someday, you'll be right)...etc.
I suppose it can be easier said than done, but the folks who frequent this site do seem to be more apt to have fun, take risks, and "suck the marrow" out of life, than your typical, bible-belt American.
Growing up Catholic did nothing to help me realize that life can actually be fun and enjoyable. I spent most of my time being made to feel guilty about my "dirty" thoughts and desires. The fact is, I only lament the things I never did, the people I didn't meet, the mistakes I didn't make. So, I am a late bloomer, trying to make up for lost time. Alas, the spirit is willing but the body is weak. I am sore, for no reason. I am tired. I do pretty good actually but time marches on.
For all of you young, beautiful people: Live hard and leave a pretty corpse. Otherwise, you will regret it and be a spiteful old person pining for the "good ol' days" (They weren't, by the way). Stop thinking about it! Just do it! There will be time to reflect on it later.
In fact...I just may take the day off today...for no good reason.
The weather sucks, I have tons of work, and I'm broke...but fuck it!
