Question of the Day

[ayoub]

Today's question inspired by yndy...

What would you rather do; suck the marrow out of life, live scandalously, swing from the rafters, and party like it's 1999 - or turn into the old people that are waiting to see how the book ends instead of writing each chapter with passion?

Hey! That first option sounds like fun!
Too bad I do nto quite have this in me...
I am trying to write the book, but - like most story - it's not really me in the driving seat (On the other hand, I cheat on navigation and it helps a lot).

I'm gonna borrow this one ...

I'd like to suck the marrow out of life without choking on the bone and swinging from the rafters when there's a trampoline below because it's always fun to bounce back ;)

[amante-donne.livejournal.com]

I think what I want, and what I am doing are two different things :(

[saare-snowqueen.livejournal.com]

Neither choice is acceptable.

*smiles*

[chiropteraclan.livejournal.com]

Uhm....no. There must be a third option in there.

[mighty-rontor.livejournal.com]

In other words, would I rather be the actor or the audience?

[bluesauce.livejournal.com]

I'd rather live it to it's fullest while I've got it.

[donnickcottage.livejournal.com]

The latter. Bring me a beer would ya?

My life is too short to sit on the sidelines watching it pass on by.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

I love the first option :D

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Sweet :D

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Trampolines are fun, period :D

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:(

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

A middle ground?

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

YAY!

You smiled :D

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

Party how you want to party!

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

Good way to put it :)

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Definitely! And welcome to my LJ :D

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

*hands you a beer*

You sure? Join the party brother!

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

They don't call it "living" for nothing :D

[bluesauce.livejournal.com]

Thanks, man, welcome to mine!

[mighty-rontor.livejournal.com]

I think both. I like enjoying myself without participating sometimes.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

For me, the key is enjoyment... Be it from playing, or watching... It's better than simply waiting without having any fun...

[saare-snowqueen.livejournal.com]

I think it's possible to live life fully, to shake the tree quite a bit even, without going overboard. Edna St Vincent Millay I do not aspire to be. Georgia O'Keefe maybe

[saare-snowqueen.livejournal.com]

Pilsner Urquell, Kreik, Amstel Gold, Trappist 14 or..............

[chiropteraclan.livejournal.com]

yeah....I prefer things to be a lot more quiet now, lol. But that doesn't mean that I live without passion. :D

[sirenity.livejournal.com]

I live my life with passion.

Ummmm, I don't know if I suck the marrow out of life, live scandalously, swing from rafters or party like it's 1999...lol. And turning into an old person waiting to see how the book ends isn't a bad thing either if you keep on living with passion - but I understand the sentiment of the question and smiled at its wording. =)

Slide across home plate nose first, all worn out and mangled. Saying "Damn what a ride, can I go again?"

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

That's the way to do it :D

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Not my words, but I agree :D

[donnickcottage.livejournal.com]

No matter, I won't actually drink it; but I hear you need a beer to properly spectate.

[donnickcottage.livejournal.com]

I just wanna watch:) The beer's my cover. Makes me look like I'm in the mix!

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

There is fun to be had in observation... And it's all about fun!

[heardthatnoise.livejournal.com]

The icon says it all.

Enjoy it to the fullest, tempered with reality. I live my life, I don't let it happen to me anymore.

[childeofloki.livejournal.com]

Well duh...

I want to grab life by the short and curlies, carpe that old diem, live life to the lees!

[mishi-ragdoll.livejournal.com]

i would suck the marrow out of life...then when im an old lady ill turn into one of those old people

[mysticpickle.livejournal.com]

I wanna skip to the end of the last page of the book, read it first to see how things end, and then live based on the ending I like best! :)

[saare-snowqueen.livejournal.com]

Spectating can be as a valid form of enjoying life as boogeying the night away in some over-heated, over-crowded smoke filled club. And you'll still be able to hear bird-song the next morning.
On the other hand, I'm also very fond of the Czech Pilsner Urquell, myself.

........and further more! Below is a link to an article on the death of Ned Sherrin. I met him a few times in London back in the late 70's. He was not a disco / loud party dance all night kind of person. He loved the kind if party that included good food, wine, beautiful people and above all intelligent conversation. I'd like to live the rest of my life like he did.

The key is in partying the way you want to... And enjoying all the moments you can :D
