  • Summary

  • This was recorded during my last few minutes of being 59. Life is dragging me kicking and screaming into my 60s. I'm not happy about it.

    Don't you get it? I'm 23 honest. I've been 23 my whole life?

    Have I made my last trip to Dairy Queen? It turns out everything I eat is poison. That's something you know but don't care, and it turns out you should've cared a little more than you did.

    John Mayer has a great song called "Stop this Train" that has a line John

    Had a talk with my old man
    Said, "Help me understand"
    He said, "Turn 68"
    "You renegotiate"

    I was able to renew my drivers license for 8 years which means aside from a sticker (which I can get through the mail) I will be 68 the next time I renew my liscene.

    WHen you go to the MBV you go in and get a number, and wait for your name to be called. I kind of feel like a 'This is not a drill" situation, and I'm waiting for my number to be called. UNlike the BMV, I'm hoping for a very long line.

    You can buy me a coffee for my birthday using this link.

    John Mayer - Stop This Train

    No I'm not colorblind
    I know the world is black and white
    Try to keep an open mind but
    I just can't sleep on this tonight
    Stop this train
    I wanna get off
    And go home again
    I can't take the speed
    It's movin' in
    I know I can't
    But honestly
    Won't someone stop this train?
    Don't know how else to say it
    Don't wanna see my parents go
    One generation's length away
    From fighting life out on my own So scared of getting older
    I'm only good at being young
    So I play the numbers game
    To find a way to say that Life has just begun
    Had a talk with my old man
    Said, "Help me understand"
    He said, "Turn 68"
    "You renegotiate"
    "Don't stop this train"
    "Don't for a minute change"
    "The place you're in"
    "And don't think I couldn't"
    "Ever understand"
    "I tried my hand"
    "John, honestly"
    "We'll never stop this train." Once in a while
    When its good
    It'll feel like it should
    And they're all still around And you're still safe and sound
    And you don't miss a thing
    Till you cry when you're drivin' away in the dark
    Singing Stop this train
    I wanna get off
    And go home again
    I can't take the speed
    It's movin in
    I know I can't
    'Cause now I see
    I'll never stop this train
