Does everybody think THEY'LL never get old? Your grandparents and |
|
parents did, but it'll never happen to you?
I know I didn't think I ever would. Retiring at 65? I didn't think I'd ever BE 65.
Well, I'm not exactly old now, but I'm not far away.

1. I thought I would never make it past 21 and here I am more than twice that |
|
how did that happen? where did the years go? And what happened to that angry young angst filled youth I once was?
Now, new floor molding in my house gets me jazzed.
Sigh.

2. Yeah, now a decade goes by and it seems like 2 years went by. |
|
where did the years go?
Let me know if you figure that one out.

3. When I start getting old I'm just going to start doing really dangerous things. |
|
Maybe I'll go down to Colombia and write a bunch of bad things about the government.
I have no interest in getting to the point where I can no longer walk, talk, or recognise my family members. Everyone's got to die some time, but I want to at least die when I'm still me, not a bedridden shadow of my former self with dementia. Some people die with their boots on. I want to die with my full self on.
