well, looking for musicians, but it will come together soon.

www.myspace.com/deadbyforty to get the picture.

Good luck with your new project. I'm glad to see that you didn't call it quits !

I'm too old and still alive!

I would have been dead 12 years ago.

How old are YOU, Sean? I'd hate to put a moniker like that on myself, seeing as I would have died less than a month ago.

Too bad you're not closer to me, Sean, sounds like a great project! Checked out the link and its all stuff I like!! Good luck with it!

I'm 35. This is going to sound very morbid, but ever since I was a little kid, I've always had the vision/dreams/etc that I'd never make it to 40. Hard to explain.

Sean, I have a brother in law who used to feel the exact same way, dead by 40. He is almost 60 years old now.

Sometimes when we're young, we think that 40 is a LONG way away...when you get closer to it, you realize there is a lot more of the way to go.

well, not that i have a deathwish for myself or anything, but i've lived a pretty full life already. if i went by 40, it wouldn't be so bad.

I like that band name, Sean. I would go check you guys out. Best of luck, and keep us posted.

I'm 16... I've got a long way to go.

As a bit of an aside - it's always a difficult thing deciding on a band name. Any good stories for how you came up with yours? I'm presently in two bands and with my latest, we had a terrible time coming up with a name. We eventually decided to each choose one word (there are 3 of us), fuse them together and then we collectively decided on the order.

I too like that name. Dead by Forty is catchy, especially for a 16 year old-you've got 24 years of fun to go!

And then you're dead.
