bignok Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 (edited) The last 6 months has been the best 6 months of my life since about 2010. Simply because I choose to forget the past and focus on the next week ahead. Edited April 16, 2023 by bignok 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were awesome. yes, and some people got crushed at a Who concert. I have no interest being in large crowds of potentially unruly people. I listen to music every day. There are hundreds of artists I like. If I were to go start chasing them all down in concerts, it would be very costly. And I'm quite content just listening in the comfort of my home.

The Who were terrible at the Superbowl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, we all have regrets in you tried to actually live a life, had life experiences. It is perfectly normal to have regrets. Personal choice.

The past doesn't exist anymore so regretting the past is like regretting a ghost so it's not healthy.

My good luck has nothing to do with my abilities, which are wholly unremarkable. I'd just say one thing as a parting thought: Do Not Procrastinate. We all know the end is coming but we don't know when. If I knew when my ending was I'd be in LOS spending large on women, but I don't so I'm not. As for procrastination, it's not lack of desire to do things, but rather that my body is no longer capable of much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an enjoyable concert but I was so far away from the stage it was like watching tv from the back of a big room. I could have bought a VDO instead and enjoyed that as much. The last group I saw was the one with Kris Kristofferson in it. Saw it in Bkk and so far away I could barely see them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought 2 expensive tickets by post to see the Beatles live in Adelaide. On arrival discovered the hall was massive. Full house. Our booked seats in second last row. Performers on stage looked about the size of ants. Audience went wild with screaming and yelling all the time, couldn't really hear the Beatles singing or their band work. Waste of time and money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
