at the time it was shocking just to think of something like that. seemed far fetched; just a fantasy that we shouldnt harbor for our sanity. like watching horror movies for the fun of it. weird.
for people whose life was so boring, so lacking anything, that watching it was just entertaining. still, sick. not the right way to have fun.
but now we are facing something worse than that. and right here, at our door.
yes, we can die. if we dont do whatever has to be done we die. even if we do all that we can do.
so, what do we do?
get depressed, keep thinking on it and die?
or try to do what it takes and keep our mind busy, thinking on something positive, learning something, praying, taking advantage of all the good things that we still have, like this fantastic world of the internet, for instance, and reach everywhere at the touch of a keyboard and learn, or talk to others without the risk of dying?
your choice.
thats 1 of the good things of being a dreamer.
you can be anything you want. you can do anything you want.
in the meantime, get in here and talk.
you are not alone.
I believe this forum is for discussing The Chrysler Crossfire. I am alone in wanting it to stay on topic?
