17.
Friggin' old.
Although,
the thing that does matter,
Is the thing inside me
which is what my blog is all about.
one more year before I can take a car out, run over all the people that piss me off, and then drive off a cliff, and fall off an endless abyss.
Maybe like James Dean.
Maybe burning out is better than fading away.. yeah. (Thanks, Mr.Young. Forever Indebted)
peace out.
this is the first time i've come to your blog. Great writing, poignant expression. But why this immense sadness Rebel?
ReplyDelete17 ain't that old, really. Imagine urself 10 years from now, and then it'll seem peanuts. believe me.
Keep the faith, keep writing gr8 posts and keep smiling.
and oh...i started driving at 14!! and on delhi's roads no less..never got caught.
ReplyDeleteis that an option for you?
happy birthday love!!
ReplyDeletei hated 17 the most... 'hope you have a better time.
Lots of love, luck and wished for success and good health.
Keep smiling, sweetie!

ReplyDeleteROFL
Does it occur to you, that if you are really driving OFF a cliff, you dont need to be able to drive, "legally"? :-P :-D
yea, that's probably an excuse i'll use for another year to hide my incapability to muster the headiness to do that. ;-)
ReplyDeleteSomehow all emotions are stronger when one is young. Another difference - now, the thought of having to drive in traffic paralyses my frontal lobe.
ReplyDeleteImho, it only gets better BUT there are definite plus-points to being 17. Only in my case, it was so long ago that I can't remember them. Refresh my memory, please?
J.A.P.
JAP, dunno what u define as young, but me at 24 has tonnes more anger than me at 17 ever did.
ReplyDeleteKeep living, keep rebelling, keep fading, keep shining. It gets more and more interesting as you go along...and you have a long way to go.
ReplyDeleteoh JAP,
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't know what to say, your hallowed existence, and my soul of the earth...you don't do self justice. lol
girija.d - i'm sure you've been angry, its not sadness, really isn't. Its frustration, its passion, and a lot of things I actually like feeling. In the end, i'm at least normal!
pika - :-)thanks. one of the few that realized this was a b'day post.
Bangalore guy - I just thought of one more, there ain't no cliff nearby...
hence, no driving off! ;-)
and if i can respond to your question to JAP, maybe its cuz you live in India? I can't say...
inkblot - sure do. fading, shining...inexplicably. is me.
That would make Indians the only people to get angry/angrier, wouldnt it?
ReplyDeleteoh no, not at all, just that, as far as I've seen: there's a lot of disillusionment, maybe its the way we're brought up, but I interact a lot with people all over the world, and except for the countries being ravaged by bush, we seem angrier by far.
ReplyDeleteconsidering I've been in India all my life, and life hasnt gotten worse, I would say no.
ReplyDeleteBesides some areas of India are hopeless, or filled with frustrated ppl.
