A compendium (one stop) Lounge o.p. to save time from uselessness

OP #1: I just discovered it is RUDE to use the Override function on jukeboxes. I mean, I've been there 2 hrs and suddenly some Johnny-come-latelies arrive and take over the jukebox and use their Override to override my queue of songs?!1 It's RUDE!1

OP #2: I'm old, hate being old. 65 didn't bother me. 66 neither. But 67 sounds really YUCKY. And I'm not talking about physical impairments, am talking about how it sounds. Like, if I'm ever going to write that book it better happen soon. Or, it don't really matter, now does it. But it took this long to figure out it don't matter?!1

O.K., to get to the real message of OP #2: The inexorable laws of nature. My theory of the Inexorable Laws of Nature is that the animal species (us) always found those Inexorable Laws of Nature to be annoying/inflexible - things like gravity and static electricity. That's why the Earliest Species (and all animal kingdom types) found that Altering the mind was necessary: Think how birds get drunk on nectar.

I'm learning that Old Age means that the Inexorable Laws of Nature are WORKING AGAINST me. I reach for a spoon out of the utensil thing and my grasp brings the spoon PLUS some other random utensil with it. I reach for something and I knock it down. I toss something into the recycling and something ELSE sticks to it.

I have to WATCH everything I do, every action.

Well, old age means to me that these Inexorable Laws of Nature are (ON EDIT: Wow, I even forgot to finish the post)

DOUBLE EDIT: I think what I mean is, I don't like this shit.

(Continuing: ) I tell peeps I "hate" you young people because you'll be here happy when I'm DEAD. Haha. Oh, also took a pic of myself when I was YOUNG and actually GOOD LOOKING and withOUT a PREGNANT BELLY to show to these YOUNGER peeps and they were, like, what happened to you?!1 I hate them.
