    Two totally different questions.

    What keeps me ticking is knowing I have enough money to be comfortable.

    Life is about what ever you want it to be.

    All of the above with the addition of being creative and having great sex.

    What gets me out of bed in the morning? The voices in my head!

    what motivates me to get out of bed ?
    The ambition of doing great things , because if you do great things you are remembered for them .

    and after all , being remembered is what everyone of us want .

    Really? I don't particularly care about being remembered any further than my grandchildren or maybe my great grandchildren.

    Life for me is about love and happiness (and therefore the people in my life). Eveything else, though important enough, is incidental.

    Life - Jeffrey Lewis

    Life is a story don't you doubt
    bad times give you something to talk about
    the next time you feel you're all worn out
    remember life is a story
    don't you doubt
    it only takes a day for everything to turn around

    Love is a story they tell to you
    but the way they tell it ain't quite true
    you'll wake up one day and you're twenty-two
    you know love is just a story that they tell to you
    love takes a lot of work like everything else you're gonna do

    Friends are just the people that you can talk with
    somebody to talk about that somebody to talk about this
    but everyone changes and forever is a myth
    friends are just the people that you can talk with
    a lot of them'll leave but only a few you're gonna miss

    School is the place where I did my growing
    they fill your brain to overflowing
    they tell you this is all stuff you need to be knowing
    school is the place where I did my growing
    just when I got to like it it was time to be going

    The world is the place where it all happens
    they draw lines on it and call it a map
    in between every line's a different flag flapping
    the world is the place where it all happens
    six billion people all taking turns eating and nappin'

    Animals are critters just like you and me
    the only difference is that they don't worry
    about things that they can't smell or see
    animals are critters just like you and me
    so we buy pants and deodorants and claim not to be

    Songs are just something to waste your time
    I listen to yours and you listen to mine
    before we know it the day's gone by
    songs are just something to waste your time
    so is everything else to do whatever makes you feel fine

    God's just a story someone made up long ago
    before they had books and tv shows
    I don't believe in him and I ain't afraid to say so
    you know god's just a story someone made up long ago
    but it's hard not to be superstitious despite all you know

    Everyone's born and everyone dies
    everyone has a time and wonders why
    the ocean's blue so is the sky
    everyone's born and everyone dies
    the old lady cries, the new baby cries...and sighs

    Kisses are weird but they can be fun
    instead of shaking hands it's like shaking tongues
    I wish I got to do it more when I was young
    kisses are weird but they can be fun
    I hate going months and months without kissing anyone

    (At this point it's been since uh...how many months
    1 2 3 4 5 6...7
    I think if kissing someone could make them pregnant
    the last person I kissed would have had their kid by now)

    Dreams are weird but they can be fun too
    they happen more often than kisses it's true
    in some I was naked and in some I flew
    dreams are weird but they can be fun too
    I wonder if you're dreaming about me when I'm dreaming about you

    Now that you heard everything I said
    there ain't nothing new inside your head
    if you want, disregard it all go ahead
    now that you've heard everything I said
    there are probably one or two things you coulda been doing instead

    Life is a story don't you doubt
    bad times give you something to talk about
    the next time you feel you're all worn out
    remember life is a story
    don't you doubt
    it only takes a day for everything to turn around
