The older they are, the longer they have lived

I am back. Things are in motion around here so I did not get a chance to post yesterday. I barely have a chance to do so today. That is why this one may be a little lame. I have been glancing at headlines again. I see where Nicole Richie was arrested for a DUI. The things that stupid, little rich girls do. She could not have used the limo with ex-pal Paris Hilton and Britney Spears and her naked beaver. I am serious, apparently she has a rare, hairless beaver as a pet, or is that a hairless muskrat, I am not sure, but I did "read" it somewhere, even if it were my own imagination.

I was reading that the world's oldest woman died recently and the oldest man (116) died as well. Is there some sort of conspiracy? Is Sylar getting to them to reap the benefits of really old age? These people have lived long lives which is cool. It all goes to show you, you get what you get. It is a reminder that we are all dealt our genetic cards and have to make the most of them, in whatever way we see fit. Tomorrow may never come for some, and for others, there are plenty of tomorrows. Then, after all those tomorrows, there is somebody cleaning up their adult diapers. It is that full cycle that is kind of funny. You start in diapers and end up there, with somebody else having to clean up your shit. Go figure.

All your childhood, you are basically taught that to be an adult is to realize that you have to clean up your own shit (literally and figuratively). Then you hit that "tipping point" well into adulthood (for most) and somebody else is cleaning up your shit. Why not skip the middle man? I propose that we ALL revert to adult diapers and have somebody else clean up our shit? I should ask the wife is she loves me enough to do that for me? Any guesses as to that answer?

I am telling you it is a weird world up in my head. But think about it, how much time in life do we "waste" by chewing? Give me food the consistency of oatmeal, and we can save time. Just swallow your gruel and off you go. It does become a problem if you have some sort of spastic symptoms and send the gruel on to your body or across the room, but somebody else will be cleaning it, so.....

Those are the happy thoughts that I would leave you with on this day. Though, living a long and healthy life are pretty happy thoughts. Ciao!
