Exhaustion is my partner in crime. The most radical thing I did, today, was skip the gym to listen to David Bowie. My changes are frightening but exhilarating. Tomorrow will be even better.

This is my honest, personal, and true 33 word response to Trifecta Writing Challenge’s “RADICAL”.
Today’s song is from The Thin White Duke, He wrote it when he was 25. It’s middle-aged person’s anthem. I turned 42, 3 days ago. Look out you rock n rollers. These lyrics will define many of you. Here’s David Bowie’s Changes.
Exhaustion is my middle name. The only thing is I don’t have to do very much to get that tired. I should at least be able to have some fun first.
One of the few Bowie songs I really like. (Don’t hate because I’m not a fan
) It’s an amazing song and the lyrics mean even more the older I get.
And what’s radical about skipping the gym?
Great song. Changes to be reported later?
for me, skipping the gym is pretty rad. thanks…and yes
You picked my FAVORITE Bowie song! Thanks for that!!! Welcome to middle age, dude! Skip the gym for music? I’m always in for that! Happy belated b-day!
it’s my fourth favorite Bowie songs. Ziggy Stardust is number one. thanks
So true, Lance, so true.
every once in a while I’m not stupid
I love love love David Bowie. I don’t think I remembered to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY on facebook, so I’ll say it now!
I have a post waiting in WordPress with a David Bowie song from a different decade. Dude is cool. I’m glad your future looks bright. Happy birthday!
70s Bowie is the only decade…can’t wait to read it, thanks
42? Baby.
Great song,
eden
i hope you’re right, ace…thank you
I think I’m going to start thinking of exhaustion as being my partner in crime instead of thinking of it as my nemesis. Great post. Great song.
If your FB is any indication, your changes are good ones, though.
