Does this song define you as a person?

Hmmm, Elvis really had a great singing voice, didn’t he?

Well, @BoBo1946, isn’t our own way the only way that we can do things? I know it is for me.

for sure @marinelife ! It has gotten me in trouble, but it is what it is…

Yes @BoBo1946 You know me well enough to know that I prefer to do it all my way ;)

yep Cruse, got you my friend.

Gosh, @BoBo1946 , not so keen on ”...the end is near…” part, but considering I’m a middle-aged woman with 3 tattoos and an out-of-wedlock child, I guess you could say it applies to me!!!! much to my mother’s dismay…

loll.. just love the song!

Elvis did do it his way. drugs to make him sleep, drugs to wake him up. the human body cannot tolerate this mixture of drugs. it upsets ones biological clock. It was a terrible waste of a very talented person…..Elvis. one of his background singers(The Jordanaires), was one of my rock and roll bands booking agent for a long while(Huge Jarrett). neither of us could believe the tragic ending to such a great talent that was loved throughout the world.

BoBo, good question. john

Indeed. I like to live life my way :-)

Yes John… a huge waste! It just couldn’t handle of the fame.

Nah, too cliched for my taste. Some of these kinda hit the spot though…...if he can get started that is!

Have I lived life “My Way.” No, not at all, unfortunately :-( I seem to have lived my life trying to please everybody else, it seems like. It was my upbringing I suppose, everything was right or wrong, no middle ground, no grey areas. If you didn’t want to share your toys, you didn’t deserve them (a good lesson I’ve always thought since I can’t deal with selfish people at the best of times) in essence I was taught to always put others before yourself. Always. Then I went out into the real world where there are people who have no qualms about using this against you. People who will con, cheat and steal from you in a heartbeat. In short I really did think the world was made of candy and sugar lumps till I met a few (but only a few) rotten apples. Thats what growing up is all about I suppose. Don’t get me wrong, I had a wonderful childhood, in that I was loved, protected, but I was kinda wrapped in cotton wool, you know? sometimes I wish I hadn’t been quite so protected from the world, and had been allowed to learn a little street smarts instead, it would have saved me a hellish amount of pain and upset later. Maybe in my next life I won’t be so much of a “mug.” On a related note, my Uncle can belt out that song in the pub at a karaoke machine like you wouldn’t believe, of course he won’t do it normally (too shy) but if plyed with just enough Budweisser, he can be talked into it, and he is beyond brilliant.

No; it defines me as an antelope.
jk
Not at all is my answer. “face the final curtain” “the end is near” Gosh, no. But..did I do it my way?
That what you mean? Well, I guess you can’t do it anyone else’s way but your own, right? But if that means you lived it exactly the way you really wanted to? No to that one also. LOL I wouldn’t mind going back and “fine tuning” it some . Or, a lot.

@Aster well said! OMG there are so many things I so wish I could go back and change, some of them I would gladly give up whatever time I have left for, and I do mean that.
hugs xx
