Cheers
I've written under the influence before. Here I am though, in this moment in time and in this particular place, waiting for the inevitable. Throughout my life, the journey itself meant more to me than the final destination. On the many twisting roads I followed, the curves, the climbs and the unforeseen stops had marked my passage rather than a Welcome to Utopia sign posted at the entrance of a dead-end street. Sure I remember the cocktail parties and the insidious talks and the obligatory dance every now and then and the banter and laughter and unfinished drinks. The lonely drive back, however, somehow proved more real, more existential, after all these years.

“I want to fuck the universe.” I downed the shot of whatever I was drinking and envisioned myself almost 30 years later, now, at this moment, sitting with my friend Johnny, just the two of us, having one hell of a time. His name is Walker, Johnny Walker by the way, and he’s Black my friend.
Well the universe proved to be too lousy a lover and too formidable an adversary. Neither of us remember much of our flirting affair. One thing, however, just one thing, brought me and continues to bring me unbound satisfaction. I never gave up, I never changed. I have less hair on my head to be certain but she too, the universe that is, has grown older with a fat ass. I found myself a small moon and she's much prettier. Screw you Universe, you lost.
I fancy the inevitable, the moment of ultimate truth, and I snicker. I’m past the halfway mark and I don’t give a fuck. After all I’ve seen and learned it could only get better. Cheers!

After reading several of your latest posts, I can tell you've achieved that.
Cheers!
No regrets but a clear conscience, that's all it takes.
Salud y amor y tiempo para disfrutarlo :-)
:D
@Simon...that's like walking into Cheers and taunting Norm...you're bound to get trampled!
Well you might as well give it a try. We don't know what you might come up with, lol, although I have no doubt that you'll do extremely well.
As for Simon, it was senseless of him to leave that comment and I hate that I had to even respond. I'll take both his and my reply off. I don't know why some people really bother being obnoxious.
Thank you for dropping by.
The hangover was BIGGEEHH but I've fully recovered :-)

You know what? I miss our beer evenings :-) and the talking about various subjects. Hopefully there will be more to come.
Prost!
Welcome back. It's been a while :-)
I hope that the music and the joy, wrestling inside your soul, always come out even.
Be well!
I do remember you at 22 though, and your JW friend. I do not remember the "Truth or Dare" night, so that must have been before we met. (I hope...)
Having a clear conscience is the key for no regrets, like you pointed out to Gabriela. Did JW put you in a nostalgic mood, and then you said screw it?

Ummm... I have the right to remain silent. LMAO

You're inspiring, Abufares — keep up this positive energy in a world that is too conflicted with itself.
Theoretically, the years of wear and tear have given "wisdom" to an old geezer like me and made him "distinguished" from a whippersnapper like you. Nature, on the other hand, conspires against the seasoned man least he becomes a Superman.
Point is, you'd better munch on the fruits of youth while there's still a good bite in your teeth left. Otherwise you'd just turn into a grumpy old man in due time. Look around you, they are everywhere!
