old guy's face haunting you

[bracconiere]

anyone else think they're going to have bad dreams tonight?

i'm thinking it's going to be a mcdonald's ball pit, but filled with HBT stickers for me.....

Time is a river. It's everywhere. Your dreams flow from the river, from the twinkling stars at night, from the sun's melting rays.

Have you also learned that secret from the river; that there is no such thing as time? That the river is everywhere at the same time, at the source and at the mouth, at the waterfall, at the ferry, at the current, in the ocean and in the mountains, everywhere and that the present only exists for it, not the shadow of the past nor the shadow of the future.”

The old guy told me this.

The old guy is Herman Hesse. He was a profound man, with profound comments on our place here. I've read Siddhartha several times, it'll get you right. Just ask these guys....

After reading passedpawn's post, I now have to shotgun a corny keg and destroy my watch....my brain hurts!

i'd imagine after the keg, you won't have to worry about destroying the watch. you won't be able to see it!

But srsly, read Siddhartha, get your brain right. The old guy is your DAD!!! ...

The only old man’s face that haunts me is the one I see everyday in the mirror.

Sorry to anyone who'd thought I'd lost it, but I assumed that Bracc was referring to the recent spate of posts by TxBrew selling something. My cryptic comments above were in reference to his avatar, which is Herman Hesse. I thought this face was the subject of the thread.

OK, thanks for that, @passedpawn . I thought maybe you & brac did a beer swap.

Vividly remember doing acid with Magic Carpet Ride playing - loudly - in the background....

Cheers! (Then again, probably everyone does )

Nope, maybe someday. I read a lot, I drink a lot, and I blather on a lot. For people who know me, it's not obvious what the hell I'm talking about sometimes, I know. Gawd. Fortunately, my wife is usually near, translating or apologizing or such.

To add clarity to my posts above, Herman Hesse wrote a book called Steppenwolf. It was influential, and a popular band assumed it as it's name.

Finally, I'm not entirely insane, and I blame Blacc for all. That's it for tonight, I'll see you all tomorrow, same time, same channel.
