Getting Old Sucks!
I received an email that I though was funny (thanks Angela, sorry Andrew you were actually too late). I thought it’d be fun to post since my birthday is coming up this saturday.
I think the life cycle is all backwards.
You should start out dead; just get it right out of the way.
You wake up in a senior care facility and start feeling better every day.
You get kicked out of there for being too healthy, go collect your pension, then, when you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day.
You work 40 years until you’re young enough to enjoy your retirement.
You drink alcohol, you party, you’re “generally” promiscuous and you get ready for High School.
After High School, you go to primary school, you become a kid, you play or nap all day, you have no responsibilities.
You become a baby with no cares whatsoever.
Then, you spend your last 9 months floating peacefully with luxuries Like central heating, spa treatments, room service on tap, larger living quarters everyday…and then…
you finish off as an orgasm!
It would have to be better that way … because this getting old …
just sucks!

[...] My buddy Edwin posted a very amusing email that he received about the life cycle. This email makes a good point, why can’t life be all backwards so that we may retire and enjoy it. Sure, some people actually enjoy their retirement; however, let’s look at the real picture here. Few people even make it to retirement, even fewer actually have enough money left over to even do something with their retirement. Even fewer are actually ABLE to enjoy their retirement AND money they saved up for it. So that leaves what? Maybe a fraction of the percentage of retirees actually enjoy it? Wow, this really ended up as a depressing blog post. Time to cheer up by reading that email: Edwin Soto’s Blog. Posted by oscarcantu Filed in Rants, Observations, Life, Perplexing [...]
