Heyday past present or future?

    There is quite a sad article in the onion recently about a man at the end of this heyday. So is your heyday past present or future?

    http://www.theonion.com/content/news/area_man_down_to_final_week_of

    Here is the start of it...
    CHICAGO—Following a nearly four-year period in which he was, by all accounts, living at the very peak of his existence, 26-year-old Brian Koning unknowingly entered the final 168 hours of his heyday Monday.

    Koning unwittingly enjoys his seventh-to-last day at the top of his game.

    Koning began his current halcyon days on June 23, 2005, when he moved into a loft apartment in Chicago with three old friends from high school. Since then, the Ohio University alum's daily routine has been a series of generally satisfying social interactions and life experiences that—beginning Monday at approximately 10:35 a.m.—he will forever look back upon with a pained sense of nostalgia.

    My eternal summer shall not fade
    Nor lose possession of that fair I owest;
    Nor shall Death brag I wander'st in his shade,
    When in eternal lines to time I growest.


    Yeah.
    That sonnet is about me.

    Your heyday refers to the best times of your life.

    A time when you could shoot jizz onto the ceiling,hang a full 10 litre watering can on your cock,drink 13 pints of beer and several shots and still go to work the next day,bone yer mott at 1600 and back scuttle her at 1710.

    In other words your best times.

    OK!

    That's a very sad article. It must be very hard for anyone to realise their best days are behind them and that nothing still to come in their life will ever match that peak period. :(

    Luckily for me my halcyon days are still ahead of me. June 15th 2012 until September 9th 2019 to be precise.

    I think you would have to be a bit more familiar with the style of the onion and how its articles are written maybe. It generally has a story like that most weeks.

    Honey,I just answer the questions, if you want to get a critique on the piece, go to Literary.

    Ah now. That's going a bit far. The Onion has more truth in it.

    My heyday has yet to come.
