Wouldn't it be kool remaining young for eternity...


Recommended Posts

Yea wouldn't it?? But yet we all have to age. That's kidna making me a bit sad b/c at 18+ all the way to your early 20's, that's where you're flourishing and blossoming. Then when you get to 30+, it's not the same anyways. And not, esp. when you get 60+ and knowing you're gonna later on die.

 

Seriously if there was anyway I could remain young at my current age (fantasy), I would do the same like Dorian Grey in the novel did, he did some magic (selling himself to the devil to remain young forever) or other formulas.

you would be young for eternity if you commited suicide

I think the worms would have something to say about that.

Well, I wouldn't mind having the body of an 18-year-old with the mind of a 45-year-old. That would be ideal.

How often would you have the 18-year-old body? I guess you want the body to have a good working knowledge of how your bits work?

 

Hang on, maybe I need to read this thread again.

"No longer mourn for me when I am dead

Than you shall hear the surley sullen bell

Give warning to the world that I am fled

From this vile world with vilest worms to dwell..."

If thinking on me then should make you woe

If you hijack a thread with the bard, that makes it OK.

 

But tell the truth now...did you know it, or did you google it?

Youth is wasted on the young.

 

Too bad wisdom comes with a price, but I'll take it, since I've no other choice.

i like the passage of time on our bodies, minds and souls

 

i take pride in every wrinkle and scar

 

we are like trees

 

if i may be serious for a moment

 

this is wonderful chatting here and all but u know, i really have to do a reality check from time to time

 

how in the world am i supposed to make sense of this and what happens in my city

 

here i listen to wonderful words, in reality i have been jailed and on a curfew

still no admission of factuality, number - anything

 

i really would like to believe i am 'talking' with someone i love but i cannot have the cyberworld override the realworld

 

so, i think i should call it a night on this site and think about what i should be doing with my time - no offence people.

 

just that, even if this was 100%, i couldn't meet her anyways because of breaching

 

i need to think about things right now

 

stay kewl all

I'm a charlatan.

 

And in mad trance, strike with our spirit's knife Invulnerable nothings. We decay

Like corpses in a charnel; fear and grief

Convulse us and consume us day by day,

And cold hopes swarm like worms within our living clay.

I'm assuming Billy is Shakespeare, but I could be wrong in that assumption.

 

 

Yes. I don't usually refer to him that way but you know Magic. He will take liberties.

 

Oddly, and maybe I'm more morbid than you guys realize, I know another worm quote.

 

"The more the worms rithe, the more I yearn to crush out their entrails."

 

A character in literature said that one after his love dies and he tortures everyone he holds responsible. Any guesses? Hint: he also pounds his head against a tree in agony and dispair. Really cool.

I used to worship worms, back when I was young. Then I learned I could use them to bait the fish.

Ha. Now I'm the one who had to google. I only know one Shelley. "Look upon my works ye mighty and despair...etc, etc."

 

Perhaps even more relevant:

 

I grow old, I grow old, I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.

I like it. Shrinkage.

 

Time for you and time for me,

And time yet for a hundred indecisions,

And for a hundred visions and revisions,

Before the taking of a toast and tea.

Remaining young physically? Sure, I could go for that.

 

Remaining young mentally? No thanks. I like having the opportunity to learn new stuff each and everyday and that is pretty much the only reason why I ever want to get older.

Yes I meant the appearances (as in physical). Having the youthful physical features forever while mentally being older. Now that would be cool, people passing by would be watching a youth of 18+ earlt 20's that talks like someone with lots of experience, like an older person.

I know I should have specify it. I thought you would all get what I was referring to in simple terms.
