Mountains

I've been saying for a while now that I want to live in the mountains. When I say a while I mean since the 1990's . I'm 49 years old and still.havent gone up. I lived with my mother for a lot of years. The last few she was really sick and her passing wasn't an easy one. My life hasn't been all that great either, but it could have been worse.

I don't know how many years I have left, but after my grandparents and mother and the sickness and their last days, going out like them just doesnt appeal to me. I hope to live a long life though, which brings me to my next statements.

I think it might be fun, at say 80-90 years old to be high up on a mountain after I'm throughly worn out from living to jump from a highest peak, as if from a diving board at a pool. Do a few flips in the way down and some other diving moves, all while I record my journey down in my phone. I gotta play a little can Halen prior too though. Jump would be appropriate u think. Maybe I'll do a last words thing as I make my final dive.

Sounds better than hospital bed, surgeries, nursing homes, and going through all the sickness and pain. Sounds fun to be real, but not yet ... I'm not ready yet but I may be at 80-90 years. Who knows ...

I do know this. Id rather go out having fun than go out in misery, but whether I hold the reigns in that one is yet to be seen.

 

I live in beautiful alpine country of southern Bavaria in Germany. I wouldn't change it for the world.

 

Wandering through a desert or rainforest.

 

I Live In What I Call The "Foothills".......Full On Mountains Only A Couple Of Miles To The East.......

I'd Love To Live In A Mountainous Area But The High Risk Of Bushfires Has Stopped Me

From Doing That.....



Cheers Glen.

My home is Colorado
With her proud mountains tall
Where the rivers, like gypsys
Down her black canyons fall
But I'm a long, long way from Denver
With a long way to go
So lend an ear to my singing
Cause I'll be back no more

Well I left as a young man
Not full seventeen
With nothin' for company
But the wind and a dream
'Bout all the fast ladies
And livin' I'd find
When I left my proud mountains
And rivers behind

So I rolled and a-rambled
Like a leaf in the wind
Well, I found my fast ladies
And some hard livin' men
Well, I sometimes went hungry
With my pockets all bare
Lord, I sometimes had good luck
With money to spare
Well I made me some friends, lord,
That I won't soon forget

Well some are down under
And some are rambling yet
But as for me
Well I'm headed for home
Back to high Colorado
Never more for to roam

So friends, when my time comes
As surely it will
You just carry my body
Out to some lonesome hill
And lay me down easy
Where the cool rivers run
With only my mountains
'Tween me and the sun
Yeah my home is Colorado

 

Well whenever you're ready the mountains will always be there for you, since on average it takes about 100 million years for a mountain range to erode

 

That's where I want my last days spent. I doubt I'll be doing any diving, though. I have a will, and I'll give all that's not in the will away before I go. I'll become the wind. The icy stream, the green leaves, and probably worm food.

Seriously though. My first place would be the mountains; second would be the desert. I'd just keep going until my body calls it quits.

Irm, the alpine mts may be one of my choices, if I outlast my family. Some of my ancestors are from Bavaria. Most of them are from a few different parts of Germany, though. If you see me, bury me with my sword (by "sword ", I mean pocket knife.).

 

Hash, you definitely need a life coach.

 

Its a nice ambition matey, but it depends on your health now. Remember the higher you go, the less oxygen and the thinner the air, so if you're a smoker or your lungs are not that clever anymore, you may struggle to breathe until you be come aclimatised.

 

I have a mountain? lol

 

Are you single? You divorced or never married?

 

mountains make the world more interesting then if there weren't any. they give rivers some place to flow from.
i grew up in densely forested mountains and always considered that the natural state of the planet.
of course you couldn't see horizons from there either, so it didn't occur to me that they didn't just go on for ever,
until i read about it in books and then saw pictures of the planet from space.

(widowed btw, though what that would have to do with where you lived, if you had a partner who shared your perspective)

Why are you using a childish avatar?

 

My screen name means barefoot forever since I like to go barefoot. Young Tarzan there is barefoot so I thought it was a good fit.
