- - Where will you be in 5 years...? (http://www.sonicyouth.com/gossip/showthread.php?t=35650)

you said I'd wake up, get drunk
alone in the park
I called you a liar
but how right you were

air-conditioned TV land
twenty-grand walk to the bank
with shakes from the night before
starin' at tikki-floor

high-school wedding-ring
keys are under the mats
of all the houses here
but not the motels

I try to sing it funny, like Beck
but it's bringing me down
lower than ground
beautiful ground

beautiful ground

I'll still be listening to grandaddy in 5 years

all the changes were for the best.

when i was younger i used to think that making long term plans would help and prevent things. i was wrong.

so the more i grow up, the more i want to keep an open mind about everything.

and that way i guess less anxiety, frustration and more happiness.

so before you use your patronizing tone, you might wanna consider that people are different.

for me, the planning approach doesn't work. I am much too spontaneous and dynamic. The best things that have ever happened to me were by surprise and I think that is because I am not afraid of change and I can spot opportunities.

I feel too confined and unhappy within the boundaries of plans, instead I dream of unexpected changes. which happen to me all the time.

the less fear i have, the less plans i have the more good things happen to me. i like it like that.

the more i grow up the more i learn to live with uncertainties.

All I want in 5 years is inner peace.
I live in the here-and-now because tomorrow I may be DEAD.

To peg me as patronizing is a naive assumption. So I don't realize that people are different? Duh. You don't even know me.
You totally jump on something that is just a FUCKING QUESTION.

Take it easy, knox. I'm not attacking anybody. Jesus.

Well, I guess 5 years is too long to give a shit about. I just meant, isn't there something you would like to improve about your life or your situation?
1. I don't consider my question and reply a contradiction. I consider it a grey area.
2. I am not telling people how they should and should not feel. I've been here off and on since 2001. I've listened to many boardies reflect about past regrets and hopes and aspirations for their future.

keeping it simple - you might be able to see why its a great song.

Out of college (finally) and starting my teaching career.

That's all I expect anyway. Everything else is a mystery.

If you let me see the whole package, I'll like any song. :p
