The End

[Liquid Blue]

I wonder what it feels like to be old? Not really in the sense of a weak body and talking alot of pills, moreso in the sense of your faimly and friends. Like, what would it feel like to have a good portion of the people you grew up with, be dead? How would it feel to know that only a handful of the people you grew up around with, or even went to school with, are still alive? Everything you're experiencing these days, your closest friends...just think about it if you were the only one left with the memories? Think about 3 or 4 of your closest friends, and some fun times you've had together. Wouldn't it be odd to be the only one left, the only one alive to remember back to those times? I know it's an obvious negative outlook, but it seems depressing.


Alot of old people that I've talked to don't seem to worried about dying, or make jokes about how they won't be here in 2,5 years. I just wonder if they want to die by then, if some would just want to re-live their youth and not ever go through old age.

Do you think you'll live to be old? I don't mean 55 either, I mean like 72 or older. How would you feel about what I was talking abou above, how do you think you would act if you were old?

I think that with time, your going to accept the inevatibility of death, especially seen as were surrounded by it. Our grand parents, and even parents grew up in a somewhat harsher environment to us, little sugar coating and such..

Grow old gracefully and die happily, cant ask for much more then that.

My grannie is 89
Her parents are dead
all here aunties and uncles are dead
Her husband is dead
out of her 8 siblings only her younger brother is alive (i think)
Her neighbours all died and new folk moved in (she lives in the country, not many neihbours and they live in a close community)
All her old friends are dead

she rang me up the other day and asked how i was
I replied "Fine, hows bout yourself"

"ahh i wouldn't win a race"
is how she responded.

i laughed

true (if boring) story

[eehh]

so the moral of this story is: die first!

just beause 100% of all people get it, doesnt mean you cant consider aging a disease in which a cure should be sought.

This woman is super-awesome. That isn't sarcasm. Anyone who can be 89 and still be sarcastic like that is great in my book.

I wont get pass the 29 so my life expectancy is 8 years

[Pearl Jam]

i just can't wait to tell my grandchildren how back in my day "de la soul was mad dope, ya fellin' me?"

[Superted]

The thought of aging depresses me intensly, I guess it's mostly being weak and dependent on others that I don't like. That and the constant passing of time, the moment has gone etc etc etc, how depressing

[Mobey]

When i get to age of 60, i'll retire.
When i get to the age of 67, i'll go senile and boring.
When i get to the age of 70, if i'm not dead, i'll spend the rest of my money on a whore with 1 last fuck n suck, and then i'll eat every tablet in an industrial tub size of viagra.

7 out of 10 people will say that they'll off themselves rather than grow old

.3 out of 10 people will actually do that once they're old

toughen up and accept the fact that everyone gets old. it's just a stage of your life that happens to be the last. it doesn't have to be miserable just like no other stage of your life has to be miserable if you don't want it to be.

in summation, shut up

[Pandagirl!]

I made myself promise that I'm going to be a fun old person, not one of those stingy ones that's all uptight about everything.
