I just turned 28 too, and fuck you for being all cheery about it! Birthdays are dismal shit. Your life expectancy is about 80 and you're already more than a third through. Mines only 70-something and it's probably lower what with all the pot and no excersize. I might be halfway done already. Plus the end years are just being all senile and doped up from the hundred prescriptions that let you get that old in the first place. There's a good chance of getting some degenerative disease and suffering really badly for that last stretch. And what do we do now? We work our asses off for a comfortable retirement, so we can pay for all of those meds and bingo sessions and adjustable beds while we wait to die!
so happy fucking birthday!
You know, you remind me of this friend of mine that went on and on the other day about how angry he was with the government and how big brother was watching, the dollar is going to be replaced with the Amero because of something that got signed in 2005, if he gets a new passport he is going to press it to break the microchip inside and soon enough we're all going to be barcoded. I told him I really don't care about politics and he went on and on about how it's because of people like me that just roll over that all this horrible stuff is going to happen. I simply pointed out to him that instead of being angry now for all the freedoms I'm not going to have in the future, I'm the one not being angry and enjoying my freedoms now.
I think the same kind of concept applies with birthdays. Yeah, getting old sucks, but why be angry about it NOW? Make the most of every moment. Be all
Dead Poet Society and Carpe Diem!
And if you're going to smoke pot and not exercise, just go "fuck yeah that's right and I fucking
ENJOYED IT" and know it was worth those couple of years you won't have later. Better than worrying about it and losing another few cause you're all angry and stressed out.
