there is a large differnece between settling in and just plain settling. it is one thing to live in the most amazing place in the world, with great friends and a significant other whose company you enjoy...but another to be chained to a mortgage, car payments, an unhappy marriage...suburbia. fear not, dear writer...for your life is still, well...alive! white picket fence, mini van driving football father you are not. carpe diem.

It is a real pleasure to read your words again in this place; I hadn�t realized how much I missed you until your name was lit up on my buddy list and I remembered why I keep you there, in spite of your recent silence. You sound as though you are already middle aged, when you are still miles away from there. You will only become boring and staid if you allow your mind to fall into that mire. You stll write really well, if that�s any consolation.

It happens. The reluctant turning of time. And YOU made me realize this just over a year ago. 3:00 or 4:00 a.m. bar times, my friend, simply do not mesh well with us geriatrics...

You have a few days to go, though, so have fun. Live it up. Go nuts. Get freaky...

Add vodka to your pasta sauce.

Your words echo many, many years of my life. But in my late 40's, I've rediscovered the joie de vivre that eluded me when I bought into the societally-ingrained conviction that life ends when you have work and a family. It only ends if you allow the necessary physiological restrictions take away the essence of your soul. And despite what Big Brother may say, one does not follow the other.

Ashamedthat I didn't have any words of wisdom on your latest entry because I'm still relishing over the fact that your name turned up red on my buddy list, but I'm 26 and I too feel like it has become all work and/or school. After 2 years of not being with anyone now that I got rid of that nonsense I have been busy often...and I kinda miss the solitude I had once before. There's nothing like pissing contests, er, drinking contests too to start off a great night, but I'm getting older, not sure about wiser, because my body too wakes up beofre my alarm goes off - and it only reminds me that "partying hard" was probably something I heard in the movie Animal House some time ago.
