fun, fun, FUN!

i told rhonda the other night that i had been mulling over a thought and that was: i have a very limited time left on this earth at best case scenario. twenty years, and that's not long, and i would be 85. fuck, i don't know if i even want to live to be 85. 85 is old. real old. painfully old. i hurt now, jack, give it another 20 years to work on my joints and muscles (what is left of them) and just no telling how exciting waking up is going to be. i'll know when i am awake, i will recognize the pain.

i digress.

point being that having a limit amount of time left; a day or a decade or two, it is a limited amount. it is rare and rarity empacts price. the rarer it is, for the most part, the more costly it is. more precious you might say. i don't want to waste any of my precious time doing something that was not fun. i've got to remember that all of the time. fun is good. fun is fun. fun is funny. funny is fun. i did remember it today doing the shock and dunbar show. we had fun! consequently, we did great radio today.

by mutual agreement between kathleen, myself and our boss, we decided that last week's effort did not count because we weren't sure of just what we were supposed to be doing and then what we did do was not all that good. so today was the very first official show of shock and dunbar. not only that, we got paid for it. we are, officially, doing a radio show. signed, sealed and in this case, delivered. it was fun. did i mention that?

besides, i am ready for another adventure; just because i am old does not limit adventure, it just changes venues. so to speak. for instance, i will no longer ride motorcycles as i did for years. up until 2000, in fact i owned a couple of motorcycles. no longer. i am afraid i would ride afraid. you can't do that. i wouldn't want to lay a bike down again. when you are older, it takes a lot goddamn longer to heal. that's no fun. my reflexes are not what they were and if you are riding a bike in traffic you had better have some good reflexes; on bikes, what would be to a car a fender bender, is or can be fatal. i am going to get a mini cooper s ragtop. that will be fun to drive. a radio career could be another adventure in a life full of them.

how many of you have smuggled hash from africa into spain? thought so. it was an adventure. would not want to do it again but it did get the old adrenilin (sp?) flowing. (i was much younger then) and that is just one of many adventures i have had in my life. watch that bio thing. it is for real. i have done a lot more than i mentioned in that tape. all around the world.... hell, once i was let off a cruise ship in ivory coast, africa in the middle of a fucking revolution! it was an adventure. and fun. i never thought we were in physical danger even though danger did abound. i was with a group of entertainers from the cruise. we were spainish, american, chinese and canadian. we were the piano player so to speak, don't shoot us. and they didn't. not that i haven't been shot. and stabbed. and beaten to a pulp. they were not fun. they were parts of adventures. some were good. some were bad. none were dull. car chases and private airplanes. the south pacific and south louisiana. all in all, i have had a blast! plan on continuing.

today, in my later years, i no longer wish to break any laws (prison or jail is just no fun) nor do i wish to risk life and limb. other than those, i am ready for some new to come my way. strange life, same as strange pussy, is usually pretty good. (i don't do that either anymore. i will admit to having had more than what should have been my share of that good old all american strange pussy.) besides if rhonda ever caught me with another woman she would....(i don't even want to think about it...) it wouldn't be pretty. worse than laying down a motorcycle....

it took me a long time to settle down for one woman at a time. i only have time left for one woman and that is rhonda. she is fun. it is fun living with her. oh, not all times, she can have her moments but, brothers and sisters, so can i. know what i mean? (if you say no, you are a fucking liar)

i am ready for new adventure. i am ready for new fun. i am ready to go rock and roll.

hope you all have fun too. whoever and wherever you are. don't hurt anybody. have some fun.
