Sail on John Updike.

Post by aeroparrot »

If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Life is short, live long!!

I'd rather be a wiseass than a dumbass.

One of my favorites, and certainly a voice for (a very specific demographic of) his generation. Sail on.
Take me for what I am, a star newly emerging.
I accept the new found man, and I set the twilight reeling.
