A lot of rap music has already become golden oldies! :D Now that's scary!
I love all of these but #21 is my fav :)
Every day is a gift. That's why they call it 'the present'.
There will be NO old ladies wearing tattoos. They'll all be dead of brain cancer from wearing a cell phone in their ear all day above their tattooed neck, or some other cause related to lifestyles of the young and careless.
Does it show that the furniture promised for today was not even scheduled and mail came to my address with somebody else's name on it? Careful Sleuthing revealed that a private college bought our names from the State licenseing board and paid good money to some contractor to send a huge mailing to the wrong addresses.
It is never too late for hello...
Seventeen is scary but then I am sure our parents thought that about rock and roll.
# 20 has proved to be a true saying to me.
I have thought about 17 so often and 19 is also oh so true for me personally. Did you make these up or did you find them on the Internet? Can I copy?
