My parents were just here, and although i Hate to say it and my mom would kill me. We are all getting older. Mom wears glasses, dad randomly belches in public. they drive a mini van. they let me drive in “your crazy city. so much traffic!” they watch fox news. Stuff they would just never do 20 years ago.
My dad drove a 2 door Oldsbobile Tornado and it was awsome. I would havenever been able to drive them around. News? Nah just give us Regans Speeches and we’ll be ok.
It has all changed we’ve all changed and i fell old myself. my dad said it bet like a kid in an old guys body. we do things and have our bodies tell us nope not any more you are no longer prohibited to perform this action. Brings me back to this John Mayer song that i have mentioned in some form or fashioned at least 10 times on this blog.
Don’t know how else to say it
Don’t want to see my parents go
One generation’s length away
From fighting life out on my own
Stop this train
I wanna get off
And go home again
I can’t take the speed it’s moving in
I know I can’t
But honestly, won’t someone stop this train?

I like that song but sometimes can’t listen to it because it’s about getting old (or trying to not get old) and I don’t want to ever do that.

Nice reference to a great song. it reminds us about life’s inevitabilities.

I need to download this song. What’s wrong with Fox News? Is there really any other news source out there?
