(A Few Good Men)

Damn right, I can't.

My replies were largely:

Well, I am...
No, I don't...
Right, I know...
But, seriously....
Sigh, I guess....

Epiphany is devastating. Impression is overrated. But that's life. Frank Sinatra sung it well:

That's life, that's what all the people say.
That's life
I tell ya, I can't deny it,
I thought of quitting baby,
But my heart just ain't gonna buy it.
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try,
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly.

I have unwittingly offended ma fellow homo sapiens. If you were one of those who nearly died because of my words, I'm sorry you're feeling that way. I've never thought of hurting anyone intentionally (except for he-who-shall-not-be-named). Perhaps I need to brush up my command of English (and humour). I think I'm funny. Maybe I'm not, eh?

Well, there is one saving grace... There are people out there who actually read this dusty old blog (besides, Archie Best Friend Karen Chillycraps and the old dog who sleeps beside me). I'm glad. You like the head mast?
