DivaSkyChick 0 #1 January 17, 2003 "Byron has been sadly twisted. Growing up is for those who gave up." Does anyone get what this means / relate to it? --- www.facebook.com/mandyhamptonfitch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lewmonst 0 #2 January 17, 2003 i think that may have to do with Sky's recent posts and loss of dear friend at Byron..., don't know for sure. is that what you were looking for? I don't know the situation so i won't try to interpret what exactly is meant by it. peacehttp://www.exitshot.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DivaSkyChick 0 #3 January 17, 2003 Yikes! Not at all. I'm not looking for anything - someone said it to me - in regards to his own life. Not a skydiver. But it hit a chord... just wanted to get some takes on it from y'all. Byron refers to Lord Byron, I'm sure. His original quote, if I'm write about the reference at all, is "Fame is the thirst of youth." --- www.facebook.com/mandyhamptonfitch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
narcimund 0 #4 January 17, 2003 I don't know who Byron is, but the second part makes sense to me. Some people use the excuse of being grown up to justify their own weakness. When you enjoy something spontaneous or original, they'll say, "That's not mature!" By this they mean, "I used to do spontaneous and original things, but now I'm too broken-hearted to try anymore. Rather than admit I've let my fear of individuality kill my sense of adventure, I'll twist it around and attribute my sluggish personality to a greater sense of adult responsibility. In fact, I'm just too scared to step out of my routine anymore." First Class Citizen Twice Over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JJohnson 0 #6 January 17, 2003 Byron if not mistaken is one of those intellectual type authors, whose writings are supposed to deep. Like Milton. JJJJ "Call me Darth Balls" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KawiZX900 0 #8 January 17, 2003 Bravo! well said. Accelerate hard to get them looking, then slam on the fronts and rollright beside the car, hanging the back wheel at eye level for a few seconds. Guaranteed reaction- Dave Sonsky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
