George Carlin ( Absolutely Brilliant )

George Carlin's Views on Aging Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions. "How old are you?" "I'm four and a half!" You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five! That's the key You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead. "How old are you?" "I'm gonna be 16!" You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life . .. . you become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!! But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk! He TURNED ; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed?You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50 and your dreams are goneBut wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would!So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60. You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT ! You get into your 80s and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime And it doesn't end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; "I Was JUST 92."Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. "I'm 100 and a half!" May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!HOW TO STAY YOUNG 1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay "them." 2. Keep only cheerful friends . The grouches pull you down.3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer , crafts, gardening , whatever. Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's. 4. Enjoy the simple things. 5. Laugh often, long and loud . Laugh until you gasp for breath. 6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive. 7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music , plants, hobbies , whatever. Your home is your refuge. 8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it . If it is unstable,improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help. 9 Don't take guilt trips . Take a trip to the mall , even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.10.Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity. AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away .

To Do In 2007

I have had a policy over the last several years not to make resolotions but instead to be more productive and write a to do list. It is easier to do something than try not to do something.

In 2007 I will:

1) Get a Passport so that....
2) I will go away on a real vacation to celebrate my 30th Birthday
3) Go see as many concerts if not more than I went to last year
4) Go to see a theater production
5) Own my feelings, thoughts and ideas
6) Take time at least once per season to take pictures
7) Get a new digital camera
8) Throw more dinner parties
9) Finally get that promotion
10) Get a man!!!!

That's my list what is yours???

New Years Eve At The GroundHog

This New Years Eve I was supposed to go to the Casino in Niagra Falls to hit the slot machines and watch the fire works but since Norm got Pink Eye (or in his case Burgandy Eye) and he would have jinxed us all to lose money I decided to go to the Groundhog. Alot of my friends would be there Lozan and Jeremy were hosting Karaoke for the evening and Kevin Cheryl and Stephen were having a party downstairs. I found out a few days before that the singles website Plenty of Fish(POF) was also having a party there that night. Laura came out and had a great time even met a few fish. Michelle and Andrew came out from Ottawa and JD and Bo who I hadn't seen in a long time.

I was hopping between upstairs and downstairs. Upstairs was nuts so many POF'ers. Downstairs was not as crowded. I thought there would have been more people there 80.00 all you can drink all you can eat all you can dance??? When it was all said and done I went to say good bye to all my friends and one unexpected person who I have never really said very much to and have certainly never spent time alone with didn't want me to leave....hmmm I thought he was dating someone for the last 5-6 months??? Well I didn't leave my morals at home this new years eve and walked away. I am glad you think he's wonderful, and sweet, and good to you. I hope he is however I am pretty sure he is cheating (if he even knows he is in a relationship) The only thing I am certain of is that he isn't doing anything with me.
