thinking introspective
I'm not harmful, just introspective. You can probably think I'm weird, but it's not harmful weird.
noise unendurable music-is
One person's roar is another's whine, just as one person's music is another's unendurable noise.
limits living-my-life prisms
I live my life through the prism of capitalism and physiological limits and eventualities.
song effort joy
Whenever any great song or album gets lost in the ether, someone is deprived of the joy of hearing it, and the great effort of those who created and recorded the work is damaged.
thinking mellow stills
I'm mellower now, I'm over 50. But I don't think I'm too mellow. I'm still angry at a lot of things.
regret pride luxury
Pride is not a word or sentiment I can ascribe to anything I have done or do. As far as regret, it is a luxury I can not afford. Anything I did, that was bad or wrong or regretful, I stand accused, I am guilty and I'm ready to serve my time.
sadness scar
Now you see how you are, the wisdom mixed in with all the scars.
thinking lines mosquitoes
If you think about it, every single species is endangered. Homo sapiens at the front of the line, mosquitoes and lawyers at the back.
football wrestling gay
Football is at least as 'gay' as rugby, Greco-Roman wrestling and the film '300.'
memories speed los-angeles
For me, returning to Los Angeles annihilates the memories of where I have just been with an astonishing speed.
country retirement pain
People look at things differently. Imagine going to a village in Southern Sudan and try to explain to someone there the concept of life insurance or retirement. Go to Vietnam and say retirement. Retirement in another country is your body is too racked with pain and your hands are too arthritic from the life in the rice patty fields, so you can't work anymore. So you move in with your son and his new wife takes care of you because that's how families work there.
summer parent independence
Don't go to summer camp. Bury your parents in the backyard and have the place to yourself.
real real-friends discipline
Discipline is money in the bank. A real friend, true strength.
country real thinking
Probably over half of America does not have a passport. If young people could spend two weeks of their life in India or pick an African country to go to for 2-3 weeks and really see how life can be. That might be a real good thing because I think they would see things even if the trip was a nightmare. I think they might understand more of the mechanics of the world.
