When I Grow Up

People have told me that I should grow up... but I strongly refuse. Heck, I might get old (eventually) but never grow up.

This song just makes me think of all the things we want to do, plan to do and the indestructible way we feel when so much younger. Or as I for the most part am still to this day (well okay, my feeling of self preservation is quite a bit stronger these days).

Reason I've picked this one for today, is that I was recently thinking about what would a 12 year old think of me? Have I gotten lame... or would I be my own hero ;) Ultimately I think that a much younger version of me would approve. I haven't yet joined the ranks of those that are just killing time before they die, but rather continue to do things my way. Taking anyone else along for the ride.

"When I Grow Up" by Garbage has always been a theme to my life, mostly because it's more about today... tomorrow well, that's a whole other adventure!

Cut my tongue out
I've been caught out
Like a giant juggernaut
Happy hours
Golden showers
On a cruise to freak you out

We could fly a helicopter
Nothing left to talk about
Entertain you
Celebrate you
I'll be back to frame you

When I grow up
I'll be stable
When I grow up
I'll turn the tables

Trying hard to fit among you
Floating out to wonderland
Unprotected
God I'm pregnant
Damn the consequences

When I grow up
I'll be stable
When I grow up
I'll turn the tables

Blood and blisters
On my fingers
Chaos rules when we're apart
Watch my temper
I go mental
I'll try to be gentle

When I grow up
I'll be stable
When I grow up
I'll turn the tables

When I grow up
When I grow up
When I grow up
I'll turn the tables

Don't take offense
Better make amends
Rip it all to shreds and let it go
Rip it all to shreds and let it go

I'll rip it up to shreds and let it go
I'll rip it up to shreds and let it go
I'll rip it up to shreds and let it go

Well, I just won't grow up.
