those monologues

I often make fun of a friend of mine telling him "there he goes with his monologues again..."

on the other side I actually like monologues, even when they get too far, even when they seem disconnected (and believe me, in his case... they are very much disconnected)

sooner or later though I give some thoughts to them 

and they kind of make sense in some direction

“For what it’s worth -it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it -I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of -If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.” (Benjamin Button)

There's an old joke. 

Uh, two elderly women are at a Catskills mountain resort, 

and one of 'em says: "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." 

The other one says, "Yeah, I know, and such ... small portions." 

Well, that's essentially how I feel about life. 

 Full of loneliness and misery and suffering and unhappiness, and it's all over much too quickly. 

(Woody Allen - Annie Hall)
