Glory Days

Bruce Springsteen is a dude. He wrote (actually I'm not sure he wrote it but he sang it and it's a damned good song) a song called Glory Days.

I had a friend was a big baseball player back in high school
He could throw that speedball by you
Make you look like a fool boy
Saw him the other night at this roadsidebar
I was walking in and he was walking out
We went back inside sat down,
had a few drinks but all he kept talking about was
Glory days well they'll pass you by
Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye
Glory days, glory days

There's a girl that lives up the block
Back in school she could turn all the boys' head
Sometimes an a Friday I'll stop by and have a few drinks
after she put her kids to bed
Her and her husband Bobby well they split up
I guess it's two years gone by now
We just sit around talking about the old times,
She says when she feels like crying she starts laughing thinking about
Glory days well they'll pass you by
Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye
Glory days, glory days

Think I'm going down to the well tonight
and I'm going to drink till I get my fill
And I hope when I get old I don't sit around thinking about it
but I probablywill
Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture a little of the glory of,
but time slips away and leaves you with nothing mister but boring stories of glory days
Glory days well they'll pass you by
Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye
Glory days, glory days

This song has been in my head all day long and it made me think lots and it made me very determined to appreciate the here and now for all it gives me. I know I say this all the time ("A sinner's life is filled with all these good intentions.") but it's better to try and fail than not bother at all, no? Part of this appreciating stuff involves getting to school on time (it made sense when I thought it) so tomorrow I am going to be good and get to school on time and also take a camera to school so I can take lots of prettiful pictures of prettiful things (this is a way of appreiciating them).

In other news: my bus crashed this morning, which was.... interesting. Anyway, I'd best be off. Hugs and kisses.
