Questions About Nearing 60 And Up: When I'm 64 By The Beatles


I remember the first time I saw white hair on my beard and in my sideburns.  It was an indication that I was really getting old . The fact that it was now more prominent and multiplying really reminded me that my time is now past.  For a guy who still can't get it right, that sure is depressing. With so much uncertainty, I wonder if I'll ever make it to my sixties and if I do, will I have getting act straightened out by then?  Asking that question reminds me of the song "When I'm 64" by The Beatles.

Those thoughts have been weighing heavily on me lately.  Having had so much disappointments as well having a hard time making ends meet as well as seeing dreams crumble to dust is the reason for it. Apart from that, things just keep getting tougher and tougher. Just when the year started out well, things happen and problems just get dumped on you ruining your outlook.  I'm starting to wonder if I am going to make it my sixty's.

I know this is supposed to be a love song where the couple asks if they will still be together at 64.  For single and stressed out guy, I'm wondering if I'll get stable or at least have peace of mind by then.  So many questions but no clear answers in sight.  Oh well, if I want to make to that age, I guess I better eat right and work hard.  If  I do that, I might reach my seventies or eighties.

It's A Bummer To Be Let Down: Don't Let Me Down By The Beatles


You know I've always been a good sport in life. When things don't go so well, I take it as bests as I can.  Still, lately I've accepting things that I can't accept and that's starting to get to me.  It's getting to the point where it's not funny anymore.  Every time I hear the song "Don't Let Me Down" by The Beatles, it reminds me how low one gets when things don't go your way.

I remember this is one of the songs that they sang on that roof that attracted passers-by who stopped and listened to them play.  Anyway, every time the year starts, I always work hard and hope for a good  one no just for me but for my family as well. Just when you think things are looking up, crap suddenly comes crashing in and everything's ruined.  Like I said earlier it's been happening a little too frequently and it gets worse every time it does.  Even though I accept, it still bums me out because just when things were going good, the opposite happens.

Now this year is slowly drawing to a close.  Funny part about it is that some are hanging Christmas Decors or doing shopping for the holidays whiles are stockpiling and digging bunkers for the so-called "End of the World" bit.  Well if the world doesn't end and if another year comes in, I hope it's a good one cause the last six years have left me disappointed and sad.  Getting let down is a hard pill to swallow and I've swallowed enough already.

What I Feel About The Movie Social Network And Facebook: Baby You're A Rich Man By The Beatles




A few weeks ago I watched the movie "The Social Network"that tells the story of the founder of Face Book Mark Zuckerberg. From how he developed it into one of the biggest social service network and the conflicts he had with the people involved with its creation. I guessed I watched because I was curious about how the site was developed and I want to know Zuckerberg was. I had to admit I found it really complex I felt I needed to watch it again. I have to admit I did like the song at the end because it fits Mark's situation and that song was the Beatles' "Baby You're A Rich Man".

If the portrayal of Mark in the film was true, it was ironic that a guy who developed a website that brought so many people together, he was so distant from those around him. It would later lead to a lack a of communication that would cause all those law suits. But then again, Holly Wood did have a knack to exaggerate things One thing's for sure Face Book is the largest social service network and Mark Zuckerberg is a very wealthy man for creating it.

As for Face Book, I don't use it because I'm too private a person. It took me a lot of courage just to create this blog and keep on blogging. Some people say I'm missing out on a lot by not being a part of it. Well, different strokes for different folks I say. Besides I'd like to meet people the old fashion way.

Remember Life Goes On: Obladi Oblada By The Beatles




Lately, whatever elation that I have felt has started to dissipate and I can feel that sense of desperation creeping back into me. I guess its because even though things are starting to pick up, it still not at the pace that I expected. Too many changes are happening and though I try roll and make adjustments for them, I'm having a hard time doing so. Still, a part of me, remembers that is never easy and even things don't go as planned, the world won't come to an end. Remembering that lesson made me want to listen the Beatles' song "Obladi Oblada".

I guess it's because of the upbeat and carefree feeling that I get when I hear this song that I decided to use it to soothe my worries. I've been a nervous wreck for the past few years and the sad changes brought upon during this really kept me on edge. Still, thanks to this song I am reminded that if I stop or doubt for even just a moment, things will fall apart. If you life to go on, then you have to go on in any way that you can. Just march to the beat of the piano and hold your chin up as you face up to the challenge.

I really appreciate that photo my new friend Jennie posted on her blog of a bird holding on to a small stick. It reminds me that you have to hold on to life because life is good and you can it so. I worked so hard and come so far to let things slide. I guess I need to lighten up and concentrate a little more. One thing's for sure and that life will go on if you go on with it.
