It makes me weep...no I mean it literally, actually properly makes me
cry.
The years are slipping through my fingers.
Danny
Time goes by much faster than that as you get older, Danny.
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. :-)
Jeff
My Mom couldn't wait to celebrate 2000..she died in 1999. Yes Danny,
it's fast as fuck all.
While we're at it...Lennon shot dead going on 30 years ago..literally
blows my mind.
Yes, very sad.
I'm currently listening to the White Album, which I first did
Christmas Day 1969. 40 years ago. (And it had already been out a
year at that.)

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.
Danny
Sorry Danny, I have 16 years on you...Lennon died 30 years ago (a
flash)..another similar flash, I'm long
gone.......................................................................................................................but
hell, like they say, live everyday like it's your last. Now wipe those
tears.
"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.
"Turn off your mind, relax
and float downstream
It is not dying
It is not dying
Lay down all thought
Surrender to the void
It is shining
It is shining "

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!!!
Danny
> Fuck, now I'm crying.- Hide quoted text -
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?
Danny
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.
Danny
I'll soon be at the point where I count my years backwards.
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.
I guess not.
Jeff
> Danny
I'm not making fun of HM..she has got one leg..that nobody can deny.
Sigh....
Danny
> Is this the Crisis?

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!
you mean something like Julian is now 7 years older than his Dad was
when he died?
About 8.
Excuse me, but who are you speaking to?
Jeff
1 finger, cause you wrote finger, instead of fingers. :-)
It was yesday......yesday....love was such an easy game to
play.....but the Yoke woulndt touch me....so I live ta meeter
again...and nex time she WILL tush me!!
Nuff said
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 ...
I just wanted to jump in and say man can I relate to the way you're
feeling. Besides how time is slipping by and youth is in the rear-
view mirror, there's also the way that cumulative decisions made over
the years seem to increasingly box you in as to what you can hope for
or try now.

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!
Correck. But the fact is, you gotta respec the Yoke. Logic
dicertates people!! You hafta, you juta hafta.
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.
Danny
It's like Dylan said, Danny!
DON'T LOOK BACK!
Be Here Now!
Again, do what you have to do as it occurs to you that it needs to be
done!
Let your thought be ACTION!
Then, you WILL be a success!
DON'T LOOK BACK!
Amen my frriend....look at the Yoke Fer Godskae's....is she old??? I
she haiy?? Has she got a big igly bush??? The fack is, we gotta
