When you have just accepted redundancy with roughly a years pay and STILL dont know whether to spend some of it going to OZ for a couple of shows, OR saving it and being sensible as who knows how long it will be until i get another job?
Ten years ago i would already have the flights and tickets booked even though i only got the call 90 minutes ago!!
Dam you sensible getting old thoughts..............
COME TO OZ!!!!
i would LOVE to!!! I will probably never get the chance again whilst having the money just sitting in the bank will i?

damn, sorry about that. ouch. :?
however, i see i too am getting old(alright, yes...i am old ...especially around here!) but i actually have to echo your 'sensible/old' thoughts. i would strongly suggest holding the $$$. i agree, when you are younger, less esponsibilites, etc...so much easier to just take off. idk your situation, but sounds like you have a wife....any kids?....mortgage?.....with the current economy ad tight job market, it really would be wise. and hey, if you DO get a job a lot quicker than expected, hell yes....you can STILL go to oz! sure, maybe not for a pj tour, maybe in 6-12 months, but you'd still get there! and if it takes you a long while, you'll be thankful to have that cash cushion.
(and DAMN, a year's salary severance package? NICE!)
seriously tho, if you weren't planning/didn't have the funds for oz before being laid off, i would strongly urge you to think long and hard about it...
and yes, my entire post is just an excellent example of 'you know you're getting old when....'
no matter your decision, good luck!
you go out with friends to a pub and see an extension lead plugged in and turned on with nothing in it, think "Bloody hell that's dangerous, what if someone spills a drink on it!" and turn it off...
Like I did on Saturday night :oops:
What about everyone else?
When you go see pjam, pass on the beer, and take a couple of preventative ibuprofen so you wont hurt so bad tomorrow

Didn't Rod Stewart put out some garbage with that title?
When you find that you can't "sleep in" on weekends anymore. Not because you don't want to, but because your body is so conditioned to waking up at the crack of dawn that you just physically can't do it :(

bing is your (and my) friend!
Alphaville - Forever Young
Let's dance in style, lets dance for a while
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?
Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men
Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders we're getting in tune
The music's played by the madman
Forever young, i want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever forever
Forever young, i want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever young
Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young
It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth is like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever
So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams are swinging out of the blue
We let them come true
Forever young, i want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever forever
Forever young, i want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever forever forever
Forever young, i want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever forever
Forever young, i want to be forever

hmm i dont have this problem cause sleep is my friend but surely elana you can find other ways to 'sleep in" that dont precipitate you actually having to get out of bed.

lie beside me
i just need to say

I hate the lack of sleep. I am 54 and go to bed late and wake up 2-3 hours later, wide awake! Now I know why old people take naps. I am exhausted most of the time. Why is it I cannot sleep until morning? I love it if I sleep until its even remotely close to morning. If the sun has already risen, I...well... I don't know cuz that hasn't happened in about 5 yers.

yeah i have to admit that would suck. i find my natural rhythm wakes me around 4am but only enough for me to note that it is around 4am and that woohoo!!! ive still got hours til i need to get out of bed. my bedroom is the darkest room in the house so that helps as does depression. im tired but its more mental tiredness than physical tiredness.
hear my name
take a good look

Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
you have spots of grey hair at 23 and realize it's getting a bit more noticeable at 24
:oops:
i find it hard to feel too bad for you... i'd kill for grey hairs... i just notice there is less and less hair on my head every day :(
Speak up! I can't hear you.... WHAT?
OMG...so made me laugh!
when you look at pictures of you from when you were 20...which is now over 20 years ago :shock: ...and think my god, that's me......*I* looked like that? wtf has happened? :?
my husband *just* started to have grey hairs appear @ 43, tho being blonde, i think they take longer to show up, lucky fucker....and he still has all his hair, which is nice. he has gottn quite wrinkled with age tho :? but somehow manages to still look quite youthful. now my hair has soooo much grey, tho presently it is reddish ...but my skin looks pretty damn good. all trade-offs.

you look at a new outfit/shoes/skirt/whatever and think, is this too young for me? will i look like i am trying to look young?
you look at a hot 20-22 year old and think...man, he's hot. then you feel dirty for looking at a guy who basiclly, while legal, appears to be way too young! (of course you still look and think it, but sure..the guilt is there and cuts into the pleasure, a wee bit anyway)
Oh, I see you had already discussed the 20-22 year old guilt and absolutely, I'm with you on the outfit/shoes/skirt, too
... and the will to show I will always be better than before.
when u are ready to pay in the line and the woman in the cashier said to the previous 25 young costumer thank u young man and after say to u ,,its 30 euros for u ...SIR.....u pay and say again thank u and goodday SIR
