My Body Might Be Dying.... Slowly
Friends and Enemies Alike,
Darker Blue spent some time on his computer today when a sudden thought hit him in his dumb head. Darker Blue is dying. We are all dying
Everyday is one day closer to death.
That is why we must all come together
Right now
Over me.
Please forward all questions to your local politicians.

I'm depressed now
August 21st, 2023 at 1:26 PM ^
I'm gonna take cuts here, don't tell Sheldon Cooper, come together over you....Beatles or Aerosmith version?
August 21st, 2023 at 1:42 PM ^
I am HUGE Aerosmith fan but you have to go Beatles.
August 21st, 2023 at 2:28 PM ^
Also a subtle Pink Floyd reference: "One day closer to death."
August 21st, 2023 at 2:26 PM ^
Gary Clark Jr's version is better than both of those.
August 21st, 2023 at 5:44 PM ^
Brothers Johnson version is pretty solid too
August 21st, 2023 at 2:02 PM ^
Hang in there. Don't think of it as so many balsamics, so little time.
August 21st, 2023 at 2:51 PM ^
This will exacerbate your existential angst....Enjoy
“Time is relentless, marching forever onward, stripping away everything in its path, with
one exception: me. The people I care for die. The places I call home crumble. The passage of time demonstrates in horrifying detail the follies of immortality…it’s a personal hell from which there is no escape"

Can I have your points?
August 21st, 2023 at 1:08 PM ^
Sombitch beat me to it.
August 21st, 2023 at 1:20 PM ^
Why? What's the point? You can't take 'em with you!
August 21st, 2023 at 12:58 PM ^
I am going to upload my conscience to the collective. I will live forever.
August 21st, 2023 at 6:19 PM ^
I have very little conscience. I could upload my indifference, but I doubt anyone would care.
August 21st, 2023 at 12:59 PM ^
Fuck off. And good riddance to OT season. We should end OT season after the first day of fall camp.
August 21st, 2023 at 1:37 PM ^
I'm sorry that happened to you and I offer up many thoughts and prayers
August 21st, 2023 at 2:20 PM ^
the universe is expanding so ... what's the point?
August 21st, 2023 at 3:37 PM ^
Have you tried dots home style baked cheese curls? Those things will change your life
August 21st, 2023 at 1:02 PM ^
Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays
August 21st, 2023 at 1:35 PM ^
Be careful saying that. You don't want to get your ass kicked.
August 21st, 2023 at 2:21 PM ^
or how you print. even printers aren't safe.

Things I have heard the last 30-40 years
"The NBA is dying"
"California is dying" - We just had a hurricane and earthquake yesterday so stay tuned
"CFB is dying"
Ill need to start investing in these dying things when I hear that word.
August 21st, 2023 at 1:04 PM ^
Geez, the last thing I need on a Monday in August is existential angst.
August 21st, 2023 at 1:08 PM ^
Time
Pink Floyd
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today
And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun
And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun
But it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way
But you're older
Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter
Never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught
Or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation
Is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over
Thought I'd something more to say
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away, across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells
August 21st, 2023 at 1:37 PM ^
There's music for that.
August 21st, 2023 at 2:33 PM ^
My sophomore year, a guy in our fraternity played that record ALL the time at maximum volume. It's amazing someone didn't call the Ann Arbor police to complain.
August 21st, 2023 at 1:57 PM ^
You're going to the Great Gig in the Sky
August 21st, 2023 at 2:05 PM ^
This performance is great but still pales in comparison to the Clare Torry album version
August 21st, 2023 at 3:17 PM ^
You're right, but I went with the live performance for a better visual. Here you go:
August 21st, 2023 at 3:59 PM ^
I enjoyed both of those versions but also was a big fan of Lucius' performance during Roger Waters' show
August 21st, 2023 at 1:59 PM ^
They Might Be Giants
You're older than you've ever been
And now you're even older
And now you're even older
And now you're even older
You're older than you've ever been
And now you're even older
And now you're older still
Time is marching on
And time is still marching on
This day will soon be at an end
And now it's even sooner
And now it's even sooner
And now it's even sooner
This day will soon be at an event
And now it's even sooner
And now it's sooner still
You're older than you've ever been
And now you're even older
And now you're even older
And now you're even older
You're older than you've ever been
And now you're even older
And now you're older still

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night
August 21st, 2023 at 1:58 PM ^
rage, rage against uh the machine
August 21st, 2023 at 1:29 PM ^
Well, your attendance has been declining for some time.

The better Come Together, for what it’s worth.

You really went out of your way to be a dick. Often that causes people to look like one?
August 21st, 2023 at 1:39 PM ^
Live laugh Limp Bizkit my good fellow

It's obnoxious when people simply write their thoughts about UM football here, and others jump on the thread with moaning about how trite or repetitive or depleted or stupid a topic is. But it's moving into clear dick-dom to start your own parallel thread just to taunt a fellow-poster.
August 21st, 2023 at 1:42 PM ^
Thoughts and prayers

If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
Then MGoBlog will follow you into the dark

Death cab for you cutie 🥰

I'm so far down the path to death that I qualified for Medicare this year. I think that might be a mile post along the road.
August 21st, 2023 at 2:26 PM ^
Make it now friend. Now is the time to share all your hopes, dreams, feelings, thoughts, prayers, and perversions to the MGoBlog message board.
I believe in you and together we can make the world a better place

No one here gets out alive.
But you are just one day closer to your next adventure.
I mean you could come back as a Koala.
August 21st, 2023 at 2:53 PM ^
I'm inclined to believe you. Word on the street is that nobody gets out alive.

I went to the planetarium at the Franklin Institute in Philly with my kids. They talked about how Mercury (Venus?) had no magnetic fields so the solar winds ravaged the planet and nothing can really live their. Earth has magnetic fields that protect us from the solar winds and so life flourishes. Mars used to have magnetic fields, and there may have been life, or at least water there, but the lava core cooled and the magetic fields went away and the planet is now desolate. I don't think we have to worry about the earth's core cooling in the foreseeable future, but it is a poignant reminder of the ephemeral nature of life. We'll have life on our planet for billions of years, but in the span of forever it isn't eally that long.
It is a miracle that we exist at all. Every minute is a miracle.

With each passing day
your balls get closer
to teabagging the toilet water below them
and some are already there.
