LIFE OF THE PARTY POOPER
To begin with, this post isn’t the story of my life, which has never been that of a party goer, let alone a party pooper. At my age, I no longer even want to celebrate my birthdays. What’s to celebrate, having lived so long that being party to a party is a pain in the butt (as is pooping a pain in the butt, for that matter).
And I’m even more tired of political parties than of birthday parties — particularly the Republican Party, which Donald Trump has turned into his own personal possession. Talk about a party pooper! Until enough American voters have had it with him, party politics is a GOP joke….but he and it ain’t funny.
So, what’s upcoming? Oct. 11 is IT’S MY PARTY DAY and Oct. 18 is my birthday, and I’m heading up the creek without a party, in a manner of speaking….but I’m still up for some good old party music:
….including a party just for the record:
To end with (and make a song story short), I have an announcement:

Do I hear a hint of being “Tired of Waiting” to die?

Actually, I need to stick around for as long as I can, because I have an even older wife and a lives-with-us daughter with myalgic encephalomyelitis who depend on me (not to mention another daughter with multiple physical disorders who still lives on her own). But even if this were not so, I love life too much to be “Tired of Waiting to die.”

That’s good, that you are not ready to go yet. The rest, not so good, but where would we be without troubles in our lives. I certainly have enoigh for a few lifetimes, but they helped make me into who I am today.

There ain’t gonna be no party (unless it’s a ‘surprise’ party), but I’ll probably play that song anyway, because IT’S MY BIRTHDAY AND I’LL PLAY IT IF I WANT TO! 😀

Wow, the song The Party’s Over, is heavy! In any case, your party is still going strong! Thank you for your fun posts and music videos.

That song is from the play BELLS ARE RINGING and the film of the same title (both of which starred the late, great Judy Holiday). The song is very poignant, but in the contest of the play/film (which is a delightful musical with a “happily ever after” ending), I wouldn’t call it “heavy.” In any case, I highly recommend the film (if you like musicals).

I meant heavy not as depressing but as meaningful. “Time to end the masquerade, remember the piper’s to be paid,” that sort of thing. Bells Are Ringing is a wonderful old film. I used to watch the 11 o’clock (am) movies on my neighbor’s TV in the 1950s.

Thanks for the clarification, Mary.. Sadly, that was Judy Holliday’s last film before her premature death.

Thanks, Rosaliene, It seems like the crazies are everywhere these days. There’s even a CRAZY WOMAN CREEK in Wyoming, so that’s one creek I’ll definitely avoid! 😀

Thank you. If there’s a birthday party for me, someone else would have to host it. It won’t be at my house, because so many candles would be on the cake, I’d need to get a permit from the fire dept. 😉
