I'm at the point in my life now where I don't really care- I can be daring, different, my own, and laugh at those who stare. I can color my hair a funky orangey sunset tone. I can jump a moving train, leaving you very much alone. I can be accident prone, and kiss a stranger on the street, man or woman, and passionately so, and knock them off their feet. I can be drunk and disorderly, another night in the clink is nothing to me now and I don't care what you think. I'm tired of being settled and predictable. I want to bust out and be the shock that you talk about over dinner over the routine tick tock of the clock. Life's too short and people distort, no time's too soon to plow another path, to make your mark and leave people yearning for more of you in the aftermath. |

Rah, rah, rah! Siss boom bah! Gosh, there's some of that in me as well! ~ But, I'm a teensy bit more restrained ~ but that is not necessarily a good thing! lol Be free to be who you are! Be true to yourself! Love the spirit of this write, Darlin' Dixie!  P.S. The shock factor can be a hoot, can't it?!? lol Linda  |

Yanno? I've been fighting the urge to go get piercings lately... y'think we can blame it on the moon?  (In my case it's textbook midlife crisis, lovie.) The urge passes. Maybe.  Enjoyed. |

K, go ahead and get the piercings it's nothing you can't change later if you want, holes grow back in maybe that's what it is with me too...a midlife thing. I hate to admit that so we'll blame it on the moon |

This one has such a great rhythm, Dixie. Very funny mood. I am rather crazy too, so I understand (except getting drunk, which won't happen to me, as I simply don't like that stuff). love and hugs, Poetess! Margherita |

I love the way you end this one. And I agree all the way through, though of course I will never do that. But I admire it in others. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |
