By 'nothing terrible on the outside', what are you implying has happened to you inside the skin? ;) For me, I'm certainly more perverted and open to ogling than I was when I was younger.Quote:

That sounds unfairly doom and gloom as is my way when I get into a flow, but there is the macro and the micro. For me the macro is something a cannot control. I cannot go into Bilderberg and tell them they all a bunch of rotters and send Brock in to beat them up one by one. It would be lovely, but I cannot do that. Instead, it is all about the micro and that ain't so bad.
Indeed. Forsooth. And all that jazz. Invincible when you are young and "progress" is pressing on your wings. Then, ghastliness creeps in, while your hairline recedes. You hear the drums of war and the HypnoMachine, over and over, and alas! You settle for a haircut and a cheese sandwich with Dijon mustard, but hey, its in the moment and cheese---usually a nice medium bitey one like Manchego--- sure beats taking on the whole RIGGED SYSTEM like a hero.Quote:

It must be hard finding the time to come on here with all the wasteland you have to walk through each day, and the ravagers that you have to fight off who are trying to steal your cans of beans. I find the opposite...when I was younger I had so much time for playing sports, games, listening to music and reading, and now I can't seem to make enough time, as I've always got to hustle and am either doing overtime or freelance work to try and build something for when I'm old and even more broken.Quote:
