midnight

Post by mudshark »

apetite for life!
what is that?
Is it being able to see past the football team facing relegation and national shame, death. Is it cooping with a marriage or two. seeing´em fall apart. ending up in a forlifter at an insulation plant. waking up fat, forthy and finished saying: fuck it.
drowning, or maybe just wading, in poverty, jet find it affordable to always have green in the honnie bowl and a a kahlua in the closet.
yeah...

something like that.

Appetite for life. I think to me it just means hoping to wake up the next day.

Now, if we were talking about zest for life, that would be a different story.
That would be setting your alarm clock for a couple of hours before you need to get up so you can watch the sun come up and go for a walk and greet the new day. It would be expecting the best out of each day and if you don't get it you look at it as a learning experience and go to bed KNOWING that tomorrow WILL be perfect.

Just my opinion.

You are welcome. If you can find some of that ZEST I mentioned, would you be so kind and send some to me. Right now I don't have any zest or appetite for life. And I have no Kahlua in the cupboard , either. Damn.
