hahahah id almost like to think that 1/2 of my life is gone...
I dont really wanna be old and bedridden. WHere is the fun in that? I dont even wanna be old and not bedridden... Iv seen how people treat old people. They treat them as a bother, they feel they are a waste and they only chill with them because they feel they are doing some chairty that will help them out in the afterlife. I dont really feel like putting my friends and family through all of that. And i mean, what do the old people you know do? I know one who has lost her eye sight and spends her days frustrated because she cant do the things she used to or the things she loves (like driving, She used to be an ambulance driver for the canadian millitary on the frontlines in WWII - she has always had a sports car) It kills her to be dependent on others. I know another old person who sits in her backyard and watches birds all day long. Im sure these people have great stories to tell and things to say, but they never seem to be able to say them. They are always wrapped up in some memory of themselves in the past.
My mom works at a nursing home, and the storys she tells me when she gets home from work every day are enough to turn anyone off of old age. Sure you can say "take care of yourself and that wont happen to you" but things like alzhimers and parkensons strike without warning and there is shit all you can do about them except be tourtured by them till the day you die.
I figure ill go out by skiing a cliff iv skied many times before, only the last time something unexpected will happen.
Like a virgin on promnight!
