Too old

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Too old for this.

This is what you tell yourself you with your unfinished degree and your kids and your broken lonely heart.

Too old to go back to school. Too old to find love again. Too old to ever save enough for retirement. And you think the world has passed you by and that this dissatisfaction is yours for the rest of your rapidly shortening life.

And four years from now you'll still be telling yourself the same thing except now you'll wish you'd gone back to school/spent more time with your kids/been a little more openhearted back then before it was too late. Now you realize how young you were then how much time you still had. Now it's too late.

Pretty soon you're 50 and the kids are gone. You're alone in your house you still have no retirement plan and no degree and no partner. Bitterness has slowly settled into your features breaking them down into individual ridges separated by crevasses. Now it's truly too late too late for spending more time with the kids too late for you too late for the education you always wanted too late for anything but continuing your wage-slave job and paying off the house in ten more years. You're certainly too old to think about dating now. That's what you should have done five years ago before your looks really started to slip. And gone back to school when the kids started high school before you were too old

To late too late too late

Once you were 28 34 44 50 58 65 and it wasn't too late back then if only you'd realized. If only if only if only

I was thinking about something along those lines as I was falling asleep last night.

Almost exactly that, in fact.

The Bastards Who Always Steal My Ideas

Nah, the reason why I just left it was cause I couldn't really make it sound like I wanted to. It can sound as much an excuse to put things off indefinitely as it is a push to do things now. Especially the way I'm writing these days.

Kinda reminds me of a line from "Do the Right Thing": 'It ain't never too hot or too cold for fuckin'' I suppose you could rewrite that a number of ways to say 'It ain't never too late or too soon for _____'.

[Kai]

its never too late, till you are dead

[Payne]

And then it doesn't really matter, in most instances.

[Kai]

so might as well take care of it while it still matters eh? While its not too late?

protip: if you're breathin its still not too late

[Richter]

Thanks, Nigel.  That puts it all down NICELY.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]
