... he ended up as a successful writer, against the odds you might say (Don't try). That's a very inspirational story for the rest of us, I think.
I do not consider March 9th as a sad day ("everybody gotta die someday", as someone here would put it); on the contrary, I am recalling all the good things that have happened to me since I am reading the dirty old man and I keep smiling!If you think, you should talk about your feelings on this sad anniversary, do it here.
forget it
now, listen, when I die I don't want any crying, just get the
disposal under way, I've had a full some life and
if anybody has had an edge, I've
had it, I've lived 7 or 8 lives in one, enough for
anybody.
we are all, finally, the same, so no speeches, please,
unless you want to say he played the horses and was very
good at that.
you're next and I already know something you don't,
maybe.
