Six Word Memoirs on Life Stories

canadafreeze says,

:-)

catsmeow says,

Not yet, anyway.

Staraj says,

No, never down, because there is no down. Nor up. But like all the other stuff zipping through space, our system will continue to go OUT. And that concept is far out.

accidentaltourist says,

Ending with a bang, just as it began.

Staraj says,

Presently, cosmologists think not. Their bleak prediction is that the expansion will continue ad infinitum until everything is so "spaced out", the universe simply won't be able to get it together again. Alas, the story of my life, too. But what do cosmologists really know? They're just along for the ride with the rest of us.

accidentaltourist says,

Let's just lie back and enjoy the show, shall we? (sorry, Sheryl Crow, learn grammar, please)

Staraj says,

Yes indeed. Let us, you and I, lie back and BE the show. :->

accidentaltourist says,

I'm in..(that's what he said)

Staraj says,

And as Freddie Hart used to sing, "If you can't feel it, it ain't there".

BTW – What's the Sheryl Crow "bad grammar" song?

accidentaltourist says,

"Every day is a winding road." I could also find fault with the use of "everyday" in the title and lyrics (as it's frequently seen)...but I'll give her the benefit of the doubt, because that might be a web user error and not hers. On further study, "everyday" changes the meaning of every line that uses it...which could be the intent. (this is me, overthinking)

That song has some great turns of phrase in it though. Ex.: "he was high on intellectualism...I've never been there but the brochure looks nice."

Staraj says,

You're good, AT. I'm going to have to keep on my grammar toes with you. Yes, "lay back" is egregious. Can't let Sheryl slide on that one. But frankly, I've probably made the "everyday" adjective or noun mistake many times. English can be maddening. You undoubtedly noted Sheryl uses "everybody" correctly. So, it's rather easy to make the mistake with "everyday".

Now, another question. "I've never been there but the brochure looks nice." She's never been WHERE?

P.S. – You're good, but don't stop being "bad" either. :->

I hitched a ride with a vending machine repair man
He says he's been down this road more than twice
He was high on intellectualism
I've never been there but the brochure looks nice

Jump in, let's go
Lay back, enjoy the show
Everybody gets high, everybody gets low,
These are the days when anything goes

Everyday is a winding road
I get a little bit closer
Everyday is a faded sign
I get a little bit closer to feeling fine

He's got a daughter he calls Easter
She was born on a Tuesday night
I'm just wondering why I feel so all alone
Why I'm a stranger in my own life

Jump in, let's go
Lay back, enjoy the show
Everybody gets high, everybody gets low
These are the days when anything goes

Everyday is a winding road
I get a little bit closer
Everyday is a faded sign
I get a little bit closer

Everyday is a winding road
I get a little bit closer
Everyday is a faded sign
I get a little bit closer to feeling fine

I've been swimming in a sea of anarchy
I've been living on coffee and nicotine
I've been wondering if all the things I've seen
Were ever real, were ever really happening

Everyday is a winding road
I get a little bit closer
Everyday is a faded sign
I get a little bit closer

Everyday is a winding road
I get a little bit closer
Everyday is a faded sign
I get a little bit closer to feeling fine
