Here is a weird little video - "Well she was just 17..."
That is a great song. Beatles have always been great favourites for me. When my uncle got married (he is 10 years older then I) he sang that song at the wedding reception to his bride, with guitar and everything. After that he rounded off with a Bob Dylan number. Well i feel like i'm stuck at about 25 but i'm actually 49. It is so sad when you see that you're not running as fast or playing as good as you used too. I like to feel fit but somehow you have to try much harder now and thats not really me. I like doing things if theyre fun to do. If you're just doing thingsbecause it is healthy for you to do them i don't. Oh, well.

I stopped aging when I was 18. At 18 I knew I would never again feel as alive, never again be able to observe magical things happening all around and through me on a daily basis, never again feel so spiritual and sensual at the same time, never again be so happy. So I stopped aging at 18.

The age around 27, 28 was the best for me. I was old enough to get respect from those around me, old enough to have attained a mastery of my profession, but still young enough that physical entropy hadn't kicked in.

George Bernard Shaw: "Youth is wasted on the young." I think it was just his way of saying 1) He resented getting old and 2) He wanted the experience of age applied retroactively to his youth.

Me, I like the motto, "You're never too old to be immature."
