The hurried we go, the behinder we get, or something like that. Or, maybe as we age, slow, the bigger our behinds get, something like that.
Dander. Goose. Things that really usedta 'get my dander' up, don't no mo'. Stuff that usedta woulda 'got my goose', don't. Oh sure, I/we slip, but, for the most part, huh uh.
This being old crap is kinda nice. Arguments, disagreements, "you always have control of the remote"... "Honey, we really can't afford that.".. "We went to your sidea the family last Christmas." Nope, huh uh, no mo'. We don't do dat (sample WWF-like baiting) no mo'. Tain't worth it
I know.. I know how difficult it is to follow my brain. Hell, I've been doing it for 71 years and I still get lost. Let's try peeking another way. What, put us in your shoes Victor? Nope. Put us in dog paws. HUH? Yeah, on the 4th of July. Sometimes, LIFE (bottle rockets,M-80's, those annoying snap things the snotnoses throw on the sidewalk, all pop/loud crap encompassed) drive(s) us sooooooooooooooo batty (dander, goose) that we gotta block it all out, Pandora up some Beethoven, turn the lights low.... mebbe some kinda trickling stream noise in the background....... and chill. Chillax. Wine? Sure, why not but notta have too. Or, mebbe a chew toy...
Our metabolism slows after age 60, whatever metabolism is. Something about conversion of the energy in food to energy to run cellular processes, proteins, lipids, nucleic acid, some carbs... and as I looked that up (thanks Wiki) - it kinda reminded me of exactly what I'm talking about, Oh noooooo, I'm back in school, nervous, fidgety stuff... I no likey to get excited... well.. you know.. I mean dander, goose, tug'a war, stuff like "say, did you hear what so and so said about so and so" (RUN FOREST, I'LL FOLLER YOU)...
As time wanes, the need is there to 'fill'er up ethyl' (our days/hours) with good, happy crap - not the fingernail/blackboard stuff where we gotta in turn plop plop fizz fizz oh what a relief it is tablet..
This ain't about a marital argument 'cause, of course, I ain't married... it's more about a people argument in general... or, the tugging, magnetic field some try to pull one into 'put your dukes up'. Here fishy fishy. I, we, ain't going there. Or, as Phil Collins put it back in 1982:
How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat? Victor, that's two songs. THAT, the "Victor, that's two songs" is the kinda crapola I'm talking about. Just stop! Actually, I'd like a big ole slicea that filet AND some chocolate pudding, then maybe I'll sing a THIRD song, ha, take THAT!
How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat? Easy peasy.. Tupperware. I'll munch on the hot dog tomorrow.
