Staying Alive

~ Gottfried

Why is being alive so expensive? I’m not having a good time. Life is a journey, an adventure. Staying alive means embracing every twist and turn along the way. If he refuses to make a commitment and tells you that he wants to ‘see how it goes’ remember that only dead fish go with the flow.

I’m always saying “glad to have met you” to someone I’m not glad at all to have met. If you want to stay alive, you have to say that stuff though. At regular intervals, I drop in on my wife and tell her how lucky I am to have her. It works like magic every time and has led to my continued survival.

It is important to make friendships that are deeper than gossiping, drinking, smoking and going out. Make friends who you can go get breakfast with, you can cry with, who support your life goals and believe in you. Above all, friends who like juicy gossip and know all the tea.

Life is short but beautiful. Stay alive to witness the magic. The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age. It’s a shame after all this time you don’t even bother to chew your food and you wonder why you look the way you do. Imagine being able to lie about your age so good that you start to believe it too!

The weird survive. I like weird people. The black sheep. The mean mugs. The odd ducks. The rejects. The eccentrics. The loners. The can’t crack a smile. The lefties. The I’d rather die in silence. The lost and forgotten. The builder the stone rejected. More often than not, these people have the most beautiful souls.

Here’s some advice. Stay alive. How nice to feel nothing, and still get full credit for being alive. Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside of us while we live. If you keep yourself alive and current, you stay funny. Life is like looking for your phone. Most times it’s in your hand.

    To That Mask ‘The Phantom

    ‘Terminator’ Coming out of the Fire

    Too With Arnold’s Side of His Face
    Burnt Up to the Robot Steel Bone

    Yet as i Remember It Was the

    Right Side And Of Course in Addition

    A Life Threat in Synergy of 18 Other Mostly
    Work-Stress-Related-Disorders Accumulating
    From 11 Years of Chronic to Acute Relentless Stress

    Yet Again the Worst Pain the Numb of Never Remembering
    The Feeling of A Smile as Emotions are Memories Memories
    Are Emotions Once They are Truly Lost As Dante Related

    All of Life is FRoZeN THere

    Burned Forever A Preferable way of

    at Least Feeling

    Something Other

    Known to Humankind Again
    Forever Now Then For Real

    (Pull Your Bootstraps Up as
    No One Can See the Dentist
    Drill in Your Right Eye and Ear)

    Yet You Know What Even Feel And
    Sense Not Unlike What the Dude From
    The ‘Imagine Dragons’ Singing Trying to Knock
    Out the Shadow of His Self in Hell Aging ‘Dolph Lungren’

    From the ‘Rocky’ Movie iNDeeD All That Pain AND Numb

            Party Going As The New Year Now

            Is Always Ours to

            Create New

            Hehe

            Every Instance

            Someone Says A Book
            is Finished And Done
            Complete With No

            More Words

            ALLoWeD

            i Break the
            Chains and Create

            A New Story Whether

            Or Not The Old Books

            Have the Courage To Accept
            What is New or Not and Indeed

            In General This iS How the Human

            Species Prospers in Every New Year

            Now Or on the Other Hand Remains

            In Deserts With No Gardens

            of Edens With Only

            The Same Old

            Art in Caves

            AS Such

            Finger Prints of
            Antiquity Yes Yet

            As We Look Around Nature

            We See the ReaLiTY of Change

            And The Challenge of Balance indeed

            Anchors Are Nice For Storms in Safe Harbors

            Yet Yachts of Being Still Evolve Past only Holding

            Garden

            Parties

            Once

            A Year With
            The Same Old

            Dam Music

            When
            New is
            All Ours to
            Create to Thrive
            More Than Just
            Staying Alive in Old DusTY Ways
            in Books That Cover Up New Creativity

            Hehe That’s Like Telling God What God
            Must Do Trapping God in Pages of a Golden Calf Book

            God Won’t
            Stand For
            That and

    Staying alive can be that expensive honestly, but who wan dai.

    Nobody

    But death is already happening inside to thus who don’t want to live

    Because they want to see how it goes

    What’s a pity…

    Creating memories while floating is one way to stay alive.

    And I’m not sure it that expensive
