Coping - well not exactly!

At the SCC last week a girl from Texas did a comedy stand-up routine and she finished on somewhat of a serious note and please understand I will take many liberties with her closing statement, but the basis is the same:
" I will NOT GO GENTLY INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT!" I plan to come screaching in with dented fenders, maybe a bit of rust, and possibly a couple of cylinders not ringing true, a headlight and maybe a tail light out, tires worn bald from screeching around courners at high speed and maybe even twisting the speedometer off the dial. When I hit the bottom of that six foot deep rectangle and before they toss that first shovel of dirt, I wanta look up and scream "man, wasn't that great - what f'.in ride!!!!"
Now that's the way to live life! Thanks Texas!
Love,
Virginia

LOL (about what Darlene typed)

Well whatever this was it looks like it hit home for your Virginia and that's what I think both Darlene and I are saying. :)

Glad the event went so well for you. We owe Texas a lot. Like what? The creators of this wonderful place. =D>

Take care of yourself Virginia.

Most regrets come from that which we DIDN'T do.

If you don't control your life, someone else will and you may not like it!

Jamie Ward was the comedian.... and that statement sums up her approach to life to a "T" (pun intended)......

Jamie's statement is pretty close to one I received in an email at work earlier this year. This is the way it read:

"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming... "WOW... WHAT A RIDE!!!"
