The lyric quoted above gives a different connotation in context, but my appropriation of it is still apposite. I’m not one for the rash move, at least while sober. Why, my first date with Mrs The Fyd was initiated by an email from me. Even then I was apparently characteristically ambiguous, because she at first didn’t realize I meant it to be a “date” date.
Not that this observation leads to a whingeing post about my need to make precipitous changes to my life. The internet’s full of those moaning calls to drastic personal re-evaluations and I believe self-improvement is best served privately. Further, I am well aware that there’s plenty of hardship in the world and I needn’t complain. Finally, to quote Hemingway, “Never mistake motion for action.”
That said, it is good to remind oneself occasionally, that, in the words of Rhett Miller: “The time you lose, working for the Man/The time you used to have is never comin’ back.”
Last of all, the real reason for this post is to use a phrase I just came across: Word to Big Bird!
