Stay Single... Die Young...
I guess this could be true, single people / bachelors die younger than most, we have no one around to nag at us and tell us when to quit. I have tended to burn the candle at both ends most of my life. But what the hay... live hard and die young, leave a good looking corpse... I'd have no regrets. My life has been a wondrous adventure so far. I have cousins and know people that have never even lived 30 miles away from where they were born. I have friends that have only been to a few states other than where they were born. I find that astonishing. Even when I was young, I couldn't wait to let out and take off to parts unknown. Must have been in my soul. I guess I kinda feel like Lee Marvin's character, Ben Rumptson, in Paint Your Wagon. If that means my time is going to come up sooner than most, then so be it. I have no problem with meeting my maker either, and finding out what happens when we die. Far as I see it, it's the next big adventure... one that never ends...
