    Well you gassed her up
    Behind the wheel
    With your arm around your sweet one
    In your Oldsmobile
    Barrelin' down the boulevard
    You're looking for the heart of Saturday night

    And you got paid on Friday
    And your pockets are jinglin'
    And you see the lights
    You get all tinglin' cause you're cruisin' with a 6
    And you're looking for the heart of Saturday night

    Then you comb your hair
    Shave your face
    Tryin' to wipe out ev'ry trace
    All the other days
    In the week you know that this'll be the Saturday
    You're reachin' your peak

    Stoppin' on the red
    You're goin' on the green
    'Cause tonight'll be like nothin'
    You've ever seen
    And you're barrelin' down the boulevard
    Lookin' for the heart of Saturday night

    Tell me is the crack of the poolballs, neon buzzin?
    Telephone's ringin'; it's your second cousin
    Is it the barmaid that's smilin' from the corner of her eye?
    Magic of the melancholy tear in your eye.

    Makes it kind of quiver down in the core
    'Cause you're dreamin' of them Saturdays that came before
    And now you're stumblin'
    You're stumblin' onto the heart of Saturday night

    Well you gassed her up
    And you're behind the wheel
    With your arm around your sweet one
    In your Oldsmobile
    Barrellin' down the boulevard,
    You're lookin' for the heart of Saturday night

    Is the crack of the poolballs, neon buzzin?
    Telephone's ringin'; it's your second cousin
    And the barmaid is smilin' from the corner of her eye
    Magic of the melancholy tear in your eye.

    Makes it kind of special down in the core
    And you're dreamin' of them Saturdays that came before
    It's found you stumblin'
    Stumblin' onto the heart of Saturday night
    And you're stumblin'
    Stumblin onto the heart of Saturday night

    Cocaine is a hellava drug.
    Drugs are bad, mmmkay; but for a while there I was highly motivated and bulletproof; King Of The World! It was great while it lasted, then came the inevitable crash.

    1999
    The Dotcom boom made me temporarily into Ritchie Rich. It was fun to be rich, then came the inevitable crash.

    2007
    A boring health story, but man it was great to feel good after some years of feeling like crap. Then I inevitably felt like crap again.

    I have high hopes for this fall though.

    I think I peaked in 2nd grade.

    I had it all. Top grades in school, teachers all worshipped me. The "Genius" label. girls wanted me. I played a lot of frisbee.


    Then the parents decided to homeschool me.


    ouch.

    It was probably a poor choice of words on your part and i'm surprised no one has seized the opportunity, however easy it seems. I guess i'll be the first. :D

    I bet its been a while since alot of these married guys have peaked. ;)

    1991 - 8th grade was the peak of my social and athletic abilities. Sad, but true. I was 6'3" and thought I still had about four or five more inches taller to grow. For some reason, God decided I was tall enough and I haven't grown taller since. I was also getting action from girls that none of my friends had experienced. All went downhill in high school.

    That said,

    2008 will be my best year. I have met the love of my life and we're moving into our new house in September. I'm as close with my family as I've ever been and while I have been going through troubles with some of my friends and this year did see a divorce, it still can't ruin what has been an amazing year. I have a career path in mind as well, almost completely out of debt, learning to manage my money, and I'm on my way to the life I deserve.

    I'd say the year 2003 was less ****ty than all the others. This year is pretty horrible so far but it could all change for the better come August.

    I've gotta say this year - my golf game is coming together, my new job is awesome in many respects, my wife is playing golf regularly with me, and I've still got six months to go.

    Please, people!!!!! 1994 and 1995. The greatest team in the history of the world with the best player of all time, in the greatest sport invented, wins the world championship twice. Oh, and my son was born in 1994. So, the championship and my son.



    Not in that order, of course.
