Fucking Aphorism or not?

I was on the tube and hearing some guy said, "You only live once." And I almost cried.

It's been that kind of month.

Want a do-over?

Want a do-over?

It almost sounds "what-ever".

 

[minsue]

It almost sounds "what-ever".

Somehow I can't imagine that phrase with anything other than a "valley girl" accent. I'm intrigued.

Some folks don't even live once. They're alive but just existing, not living.

Sorry about the piss-poor month. At least it's about over.

Now I could almost cry.

You don't say.

Buck up, minsue. Maybe the thought would sound better if clothed in the famous line from, "Auntie Mame." This may not be word-for-word exact, but I believe the spirit is correct.

"Life is a banquet--and some poor suckers are starving to death."

Songcatcher: Well, it is what the calendar says.

Your calendar doesn't count.

She enjoyed it. Did I fail to mention that?

"Life is a banquet--and some poor suckers are starving to death."

I had a friend who used to complain on a regular basis that life was a bowl of toenail clippings. At times like this I wonder if there was actually an element of truth in what she was saying.

Maybe you live once. Maybe you don't. You can't be fucking sure, so you might as well enjoy this one, just in case you don't get another chance.

I have those months...hell, I've had those years!

I'm always looking for that one person to just tell me something I want to hear to make it better...
