Ticking away
The moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours
In an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground
In your hometown
Waiting for someone
Or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today
And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun
Maybe it’s time to finally give it all up and buy that little sailboat ⛵
I suffer from catastrophic seasickness
I keep having dreams of things I need to do
And waking up but not following through
But it feels like I haven’t slept at all
When I wake to a silence and she’s facing the wall
Posters of Dylan and of Hemingway
An antique compass for a sailor’s escape
She says, “You just can’t live this way”
And I close my eyes and I never say
I’m still having dreams
Poor bastard was waiting for Windows update to finish.
This is a good place to remind everyone that if you wait for social security retirement in America you have a really good chance of dying shortly after that retirement. The great die off starts at 65.
And yes you can live healthier to have better odds of getting higher on that chart. But you cannot add young years. So if your idea of Europe includes skiing in the alps or something then you need to go before you retire. Don’t let the idle rich dictate your life. They aren’t waiting around.
I was just listening to this song today.
Surviving in love, surviving in hate
We still have to die, there can be no escape
Clock in, clock out, forty hours a week
Our lives being spent with no real truth to speak(Sung by the guy who hung himself at age 40 to the sound of Sean Lennon’s “Into The Sun.” Don’t try this at home, kids.)
God I love Pink Floyd!!
Same. Especially this song. More chills given than any other song. I’d assume I’ve listened to it 200 times or more at this point
Mine is “Dogs.” The combination of the message and the barking in the solo is just…
I wonder what motivational posters workers in the Bahamas have on their wall
A lot of “third world” countries don’t work the hours we do.
People crave what they don’t have.
A big rusty secondhand spaceship, with which to run a dinky little trans-lunar scrap and salvage company. My second mate would be a cat.
Maybe they just have a big sign that just says “HERE”.
DON’T FORGET.HERE
YOU’RE
FOREVER.Or possibly a window?
A picture of some depressing city alleyway that’s says
“Laugh at the losers who are stuck with this out their window”
It’s not like you can afford anything else.
to rebel is what we have left
Vacation? With what money?
The song calls for a radical change of paradigm, not a vacation. A vacation would be nice, though.
I was going to run, but I had to stay for the epic solo…
Bwahhhhhhhhh
Bwaaa waa waahhhhh

Doo doo doo
BlununinhNUH NUUHHHHH
Sad modem noises.
Sadly, he couldn’t get over his fear of crossing bodies of water.
I’ll see you on the dark side of the Moon.
Enjoy yourself ~~
I’m one of the rare people who’ll say that I wish I spent more time at work.
How come?
Lost touch with most of my friends during the lockdowns, no romantic connections pending, and home sucks. Work is my escape.
Works in porn
Man, I wish. There’s a lot of money in that field.
