New Years

I've never been to Minnesota. I kinda wanted to go... I spent a few months in Madison, and a bunch of my comrades were from there.

This New Years I'm going to a concert with a few friends. I'm new to Houston, but it sounds fun. It's a black tie/toga/lingerie party.

I of course, have opted lingerie.

 

now THAT is an odd combination

i have plans, but no tickets i dont want to jinx it but lets just say i should be losing my mind to good music with aliice in wonderland and charlie and the chocolate factory plying on the walls

 

I was shot at one thanksgiving.

True story. :biggrin:

 

It happens man

 

It makes for a nice crowd mix. Imagine a gentleman with a monocle sitting beside a guy wearing frilly panties and a girl getting smashed in a toga. :biggrin:

You' sound like a fun cat Good Vibes.

 

I agree

 

thats not too far..wanna be my new years date?


(j/k btw)

 

aww shucks dont make me blush

 

The best years of my life weren't my teen years or early 20's.

As we grow older, our minds mature in exciting new ways. And things are only going to get better from here, babe. :biggrin:

 

Tell that to the people who died of old age.

 

Yes, people obviously eventually die from organ failure.
What I was referring to, and what was being obviously referred to in this thread, is the existential relation of one's years of age to one's perceived status in society and as a functional organism in general.
And in that sense, age is but a number.
People can give up at 20, and people can give up at 85, your choice.

 

Mhm, obviously. I think people generally get depressed when they realize they have one less year to keep fighting.
Age does matter though. I dunno why people think it doesn't.
Or say it doesn't.

 

"Thinking you have one less year to keep fighting" is a fallacy anyways.
You could die tomorrow at 20 just as easily as you could die tomorrow at 80.

 

Then it is depressing to some to have one less day, one less hour, one less second. New Years just reinforces many peoples' fear of death.

 

How?
I will never understand it.
What bearing does the new calendar year have on your own personal age?

 

It doesn't.
It is just a reminder of time running out, I guess.
That isn't something I spend a lot of time thinking on, though.

 

I guess I just don't spend my life in count-down fashion

 

Eh, you're young.
As am I. With youth comes a feeling of invincibility, immortality.

 

That's what they say, yet I have known the exact opposite.
which is why I'm convinced it's all a state of mind.

 

strange, i used to save my movie tickets too... not sure why i did that
