Such people are never happy with anything, don't believe in anything, and end up doing nothing. I liked the story; it's heartwarming to know that even after all these years, they're still in love with each other, still flirt and care deeply for each other. I think such a deep lasting relationship is something we all wish for, but instead we settle for the insubstantial chaos of modern life with its cheaper pleasures. | ||

FYI my mum works as a carer for the disabled, and I've done my (six year) stint volunteering for various organisations involving the disadvantaged. There's nothing true, pure or beautiful about their lives. People tend to only see a fraction of what it's like and say shit like: "Oh, they're special and unique and make the world beautiful because they're living with less and can appreciate the little things we often forget" - the rest of the time though (99%) they're busy shitting their pants and depressed, bored, sitting in front of TVs and screaming and crying out of frustration. A reminder of what a fucked up world we live in. | ||

Do you have a problem with people enjoying the heartwarming story, such that you had to shit on the thread with your terrible posts? | ||

I was about to tear into this little prick for being such a dreary and pessimistic emo but I much prefer your response. Great story. Glad to see such a little thing affect someone in such a big way. | ||

More of a case of true sacrifice - having to give up good times in the sack with various women to look after one that's going blind. . Um, the only reason she's blind is because she's past 80 years old. It's not uncommon for people past 70 to get all sorts of problems, including blindness. I don't think the guy gave up that many "good times" considering he was probably at least 60 when she started to go blind. As for the rest of your post, I won't argue because I can see where you're coming from, but you didn't have to ruin the mood like that. Good post OP, I love stories like this. | ||

A reminder of what a fucked up world we live in. I work with older people as well. Yes, many of them are depressed, angry, bored, frustrated ,etc. Those are a pain to deal with. Then you have people like in the op. They have lived an ok life, and have simply come to terms with their life, impending death, and what is really important to them. They have learned how to be happy, spend their time making other people happy, and making the most of their life. Call it stupid, but most of these people are deeply and truly religious. They are fine with where they are at, and focus on enjoying each day to its fullest. I hope to be one of them when I get older. You can grow up being a whiny bitch for all I care. I aspire for something better. Thanks op. | ||

Learn that and maybe one day you'll find a woman that you'll be happy with 20+ years later. Pretty obvious why you're so heartset on womanizing and getting layed - constantly linking "how to date like an asshole and get layed constantly" sites. While there is some merit to keeping an alpha male lead over a relationship, that's all extremist bullshit. I apologize for the OT rant, but this Tony guy seems to ruin a lot of threads with this crap. | ||

This is definitely the song for you! The song is a bit off from the blog, but the pace and tempo made it a whole lot better for me! I've learned in my Psychology of Sexuality that there are two types of love :3 | ||
