So I’m 30.  It feels…….a lot like 29.  I have decided not to complete the “Further Down the Twilight (Not That “Twilight”) series for two reasons.  One reason being I am no longer interested in sitting around thinking about my twenties, and the other reason being I feel that now that I am in my 30’s I shouldn’t be such a Mesus.  I also took the bottle opener off of my key chain because someone said you can’t have those either. 

Instead I will share a quote with you I had planned to end FDtT(NT”T”) with and a trippy music video by the band The Horrors. It is (as of today) my favorite song of today.  (However it is only 4:00 and this could change) I hope that you all take the time to watch the video because it is a lot like magic.  Which we all know I love.  

The quote:

“Successful in most things but not in the one effort that all men try at some time in their lives - trying to go home again.  And also like all men perhaps there’ll be an occasion—maybe a summer night sometime—when he’ll look up from what he is doing and listen to the distant music of a calliope*, and hear voices and the laughter of the people and the places of his past.  And perhaps across his mind there’ll flit a little errant wish, that a man might not have to become old, never outgrow the parks and the merry-go-rounds of his youth.   And he’ll smile then too because he’ll know it is just an errant wish, some wisp of a memory not too important really, some laughing ghosts that cross a man’s mind.”- Rod Sterling from the Twilight Zone episode “Walking Distance” 

I thought that was a) a badass ending for an episode of The Twilight Zone, b) fitting for me to recently watch, c) one of the longest (which upon further review I confirmed) endings of a Twilight zone episode, and d) a good way to tie up the post I am never going to write while at the same point departing with my twenties and moving on.  So I moved on.  

* A calliope is a steam organ.
