good bye cruel world!

Sometimes at night I sit and think back on the good old days ,Gran ma's biscuits,Pork chops and apple sauce.. I look back to the times when I was younger and had so much fun just being a kid and loving life. Catching tadpoles in a pond, flying a kite on Saturday morning, riding my bike around the block and loving my siblings.. I used to love taking things apart and putting them back together just for the fun of it. ahh, I was such a cool kid...Man, I miss those days...My first Mini bike..now that was cool, gas was 22 cents a gallon and we could ride anywhere...used to take my .22 with me and shoot rodents and if I saw a cop, they would plink off a few with me...heck, i got stopped by a cop one time on my mini bike ans he said where you kids going? I said "fishing at the pond" and he was like.."meet you there" lol...ahh yea..the good "REAL" days..I miss them....ah well, I got nothing left to give but this video..I hope you enjoy it...

I enjoyed reading about your wonderful childhood memories; it makes me remember mine. As I look back; I had a pretty good childhood.

Anyway...what I am curious about is the title of this thread: (good bye cruel world!)..what exactly do you mean by that title?

Oh man that brought back some memories
My best mate and I cycling to the local quarry with air rifles strapped to our backs. Popping off a few rats and catching newts to gross out our sisters.
What a great way to start the day.
Thanks

Wading in the mud to catch frogs, finding a technicolor field of wild flowers, hiking in to the best trout pond for dinner all things enjoyable from childhood that I share with my boys still. The world is a beautiful place full of wonderful experiences. Stay safe please, and know that innocent goodness still exist in this crazy world.

I only hope my children look back on their childhood and remember fondly as I do mine I love childhood memories. S&F

Go read this thread NOW OK! ... BACON!!! ATS Chat And The Cult of BACON! (by Hefficide posted on 15-1-2011 @ 11:38 AM) [ATS]

Because you wouldn't want me to let the dogs out now would you!

Fantastic days of old. Making 'dens' in the woods. Crossing rivers and making rope swings. Always out on on bikes. The next generation of kids wont know about a lot of this. They will look back and remember being on facebook, Or xbox live. Or burying there heads in laptops or phones.

While you're enjoying the life of this world, I'm preparing for the next. Why would I spare my thoughts for something so temporary when I've got an eternal life in front of me.

May Allah Guide You to the Straight Path

Saw a movie once... forget the title. In there a character said, "If you're really lucky you'll live to grow old, have many fond memories and sit and remember them."

You are still that boy or girl and those fond memories are the proof of your humanity. Everyone has them, they are part of what makes humanity so special.

Don't look back at it so much as a "lost kingdom" as the fun you had while living it. Doing that on a regular basis and enjoying it is what prompts the mind to remember other things we have done. Kind of like rebuilding a library. I had a most interesting and sometimes wild youth that I love to sit and ponder sometimes.

It is one high point of my day.

I can remember, back in those days, my friends and I cupping our hands and drinking water straight from a spring fed stream. It was sooo good. My one pal said you knew the water was "okay" if it had minnows and tadpoles in it. Seemed to be true...no one got sick from it. Wouldn't wanna attempt that nowadays.

I can remember laying on my back and watching the clouds go by...the sky was so clear and blue...didn't look so polluted and smeary as now. The way the air smelled so fresh after a nice spring rain...the smell of the grass after it got mowed. Fields of wildflowers and less macadam lots. There were so many lady bugs and butterflies back then. Less city light pollution made sky watching an exciting adventure....now, not so much. Memories of days gone bye...seems so much has changed...or was it just me.

I seem to have lost that feeling to.
Motivation and a purpose in life.
Trying to re-invent myself,but it's just not happening yet.
How do you re-invent yourself at 48 years old ?

Your description mirrors mine when I was young.
My Honda Z50 mini bike.
Man,I was indestructible then.
I think I used up most of the lives I have,you know,like the 9 lives of a cat and have realized I have one card left.

Explanation: We are here for a good time ... not a long time!

Personal Disclosure: Enjoy it while it lasts and I hope it lasts as long as we each want it to last ok!

Because it is just a ride!



Last one back to the singularity wins!

So just don't pedal so fast ok!
