Planning for the future is the same as not planning for the future.

Since except for this moment right now, our entire lives are behind us, all else is entirely hypothetical. Whether we meticulously plan or not, we are subject to a perpetual volley of surprises all the same.

Discuss.

1. You went into the basement with Bim again, didn't you?

:eyes:

3. Yes,

but that was after you went in to the basement with Bim.


:hi:

5. Now Hedges,

Would the noted philosopher Lamont "Bim" Thomas say "perpetual volley of surprises?" No. He'd grin and say "FUCK THAT! Weird shit gon' happen anyway, man."

[Magrittes Pipe]

7. True, but...

...at least he'd be smiling when he said it, unlike some dour shoegazer scenesters I know. :hi:

[chickenscratching]

2. I would have to agree

For example, when I planned to go the jazz club? It just wasn't the same as Planning to go the jazz club.

14. That reminds me! The Dakota, a jazz club in Minneapolis, MN,

is an excellent place to hear jazz music.

[asthmaticeog]

16. Thanks for the heads-up

But 12 hours is a long drive just to hear jazz. :cry:

[chickenscratching]

18. I think you'll be fine,

what with those scales and all.

[asthmaticeog]

19. You're saying I should *swim* to Minneapolis to hear jazz?

:shrug:

[chickenscratching]

20. Lotion, where is my lotion?

:shrug:

[asthmaticeog]

24. I'd offer you some, but I used all mine up.

Sorry 'bout that, but my seborrhaeic dermatitis is spreading almost to my naughty bits, and I gotta nip that shit in the bud.

[chickenscratching]

26. Have you done any researching on the internets?

I found a http://familydoctor.org/157.xml">Website that has some information you might be interested in.

On edit, it's Seborrheic Dermatitis.

27. Oh fer cryin' out loud -

Not only did I misspell it, it was the wrong damn skin condition. :banghead:

I'm a BAD Lounge jackass today. :cry:

[chickenscratching]

29. You're just forgetting the "spell check" feature

Rocks in them ears?

There's a 'Check Spelling' feature (look down).
I suggest you at least TRY to click on it next time?

4. I was planning to shave my legs in the near future, but now I'm afraid.

Thanks a lot :P

[asthmaticeog]

6. I'd be afraid to shave my legs, too.

Doesn't that shit itch when it comes back in? Yikes.

[JimmyJazz]

15. Do you prefer to use hot wax on yours?

:shrug:

[asthmaticeog]

17. Nope. Cold steel.

8. Hi.

This was at the top of the Lounge forum, so this is where I will make my first post in DU. I hope it's as much fun to participate as it is to just lurk!!!

[progmom]

[Muddy River]

21. Thanks.

[progmom]

25. smilies are your friend.

[Muddy River]

28. OK. I see it.

Thanks:)

[asthmaticeog]

11. Welcome to DU!

It *can* be a lot more fun to participate than to just lurk.

But don't PLAN on it. :silly:

I am deeply honored, by the way, that your first post is in my doofy faux-philosophical joke thread.

[Muddy River]

22. Thanks.

Well, we'll see. I intend to have fun, anyway.

[JimmyJazz]

13. that's been my philosophy for quite some time now

seems to be working so far. :shrug:

[patcox2]

30. You will meet your fate on the road you took to avoid it.

Old french proverb.

[asthmaticeog]
