Can you believe it...New Years Eve 2000 was ten years ago. It's just
doing my head in. It was just yesterday. Where the fuck is time
going??

It makes me weep...no I mean it literally, actually properly makes me
cry.

The years are slipping through my fingers.

I remember walking into the bank and writing out the year
2000, on my withdrawl slip. It seems like it was yesterday.

I used to feel as you do. I realize now that getting older is just a
fact of
life, and before I was on this earth, I didn't miss it. :-)

Dunno how old you are Robert (I think it's Robert?) but I'm 46 and
I've found the last 10 years have just flown past..I was actually
posting in rmb 10 years ago and it really seems like yesterday...I'm
genuinely upset about this..like proper tears..the stuff that was 30
years ago does seem like ages ago (though obviously I remember JL
going and going to collage and stuff)..but the bits between 17 and 27
are sort of long..but fuck me between 36 and 46 has just flown. Bang!
Gone! and I had a little girl in that time (she's 8 now)..(and I went
to Disneyworld this year if you all recall)..something has to be
done!......I getting desperate....there's the gig...and I'll do X-
factor..but God! It's a real worry.

"Nothing to get hung about".
It's all a matter of perspective. Time seems to go by much faster now
than when I was 46...which was in turn much faster than when I was 32,
etc. It's just the nature of the beast.

I've wiped them Jim..but I think this is my first like "realisation"
that life is so fucking short..you know like that Pink Floyd song
"Time"....and then I actually find myself frittering and wasting the
hours in an offhand way..I don't think it helped in that today I put
onto the computer all my passport photos from when I was 16 and
upwards onto the computer. Each year (not so much these days) I would
go into a photo booth and keep the pictures and date them on the back.
I've just downloaded them on my profile on FB (I've made those pics
open to everybody - I don't mind)...and I just can't grasp for example
that 1995 was *so long ago*. I mean that was when the threetles did
their thing....it was fucking *fifteen Years ago*!!!!! It's
astonishing. Anthology has been out 15 years!!! Aaaargh!!!

I've been upset all day. Seeing my little girl open her presents aged
8 and thinking "my God" it's gonna be five minutes before she's
18..and there's nothing I can do...I'm desperate to live life long but
it's such a wrench to force yourself to do complex and interesting
things and all the while you get older..so it gets more and more
difficult to do it. You can see that McCartney is doing the sensible
thing by playing loads of gigs to hang on to experience..and hitching
up with one leg and having Bea (which is probably paramount in his
life I would have thought)...but Christ, it's fucking hard..and all
the while I'm getting fucking uglier...when I see myself in photos
these days I wonder who's the fat old bloke, then I realise it's
fucking me!

Is this the Crisis?

Considering there are troops that can "buy it" at any moment, in far
away lands...unable to give their loved ones a simple hug today, I
think we have no reason to bitch. So I'll stop now.

Give that little one a hug..

Troops?...that's a different ballpark. There are always folk worse off
that yourself and it's a good point. It does help in one's angst. The
troops thing I have a weird feeling about. Always sad when people die
in wars but....if you're a soldier isn't that what you sign up to do?
The Iraq thing was/is mad (we shouldn't be in there at all IMO) but
the Afghan thing..well yeah it's shit that our boys are dying but you
know, that's the deal when you join the army. It's a dangerous
profession. I wouldn't do it, I'm too much of a scaredy cat..and don't
get me wrong..I appreciate the lads and lassies out there doing the
biz..and applaud them for twatting the Taliban..but if you don't like
it..then don't join up.

Try not to think of it that way. You are truly blessed that you have
a beautiful child. In a sense, you will live through her. Children
and grandchildren are the closest we can get to immortality.

Don't think of yourself as "old." You are young because you have a
child who is carrying your genes, your personality and all that you
taught her through the years.

It's not funny, Danny....making fun of someone cause they have
one leg. It's sick, and you should know better.

The crisis comes when one does not live in the moment letting thought
be action. Do what you need to do as it occurs to you that it needs
to be done.

Be here now and all WILL be as it should be.

Five years ago today 250,000 beautiful people died horribly in a
tsunami that struck without warning. God only knows when our time is
up. Therefore, we MUST live each moment doing, again, what we KNOW
needs to be done!

Live, Danny and there is no crisis.

Now, prepare yourself for a wonderful year and "be not afraid."

May everyone have a wonderful and very Happy New Year!

The last time I remember having a really good time & really, I mean
really enjoying life was 1994. I was coming back from the gym in my
brand new very fast car. The t-tops were off, we were really getting
into Black n Blue [ Stones ] & my beautiful girlfriend's hair was
blowing in my face. About 14 years on the couch with Chronic Fatigue
Syndrome will seriously fuk wit yer head. 2000 - now [ this decade ]
meant nothing to me. Put that in your Grand Funk & Lagwagonal & freebase

You want to make time creep by like a snail on quaaludes? Go stand in
Times Square (or several blocks from Times Square) and wait from the
afternoon until midnight for a ball to drop. Time practically stood
still. Then it was 2000 and ten minutes later 2010 ...

Danny, you are still a young man! Don't be alarmed! Just live and
know that you can accomplish A LOT in the time you have if you do what
you know you need to do!

I just turned 60 and am assured by those who are much older than me
that I am still a young man also, and I have some great thing ahead of
me that I can't divulge here quite yet!

Do those gigs, make those plans, live your life, and expect great
things to happen!

They will I assure you!

Something *has* to happen Rich. I can't believe how fleeting the past
ten years has been...it's just been over in an instant...and then I
turn about and I'm not anywhere near my 30s anymore...it's just
fucking killing me.
