According to the latest statistics I have 31.6 years left. Having lived 46 years it is sobering to think that I am on the down hill side of the journey. I really have a fever though to make a difference now some how. Strange, when I was 18 I swore I didn't want to live past 45. I thought that was ancient.
Ones perspective has a way of shifting as the eternal dirt nap starts to come into view!!!

The eternal dirt nap! Ha! what a good way to describe death, or, I'm just popping over the hill for an earth sandwich.

I know frankin, at the age of 20 you think no-one could possibley really want to live past 40, bloody ancient!

i started this art thing late in life, I was at college with 20year olds, kids my sons age, they were great on the whole, but one boy would repeatedly point out I was as old as his mum! great!

When I was 20, I wanted to live to be 200. While I was married, in my 30's, 100 was plenty. Now I'm in my late forties, and although I'm in no rush for the big sleep, I don't want to prolong the show any more than I have to. Those aches and pains catch up to you, FAST!

Haha too true. I was diagnosed with diabetes this year as well! When they stat taking the fun stuff away from you, it makes you less than optimistic about kicking around forever.

When I was married to my ex I took a lot of chances. The relationship made me feel hopeless. Glad that shite is over.

Wow! I didn't mean to come across so pessimistic in the last post. I am quite amazingly happy these days. I have the perfect mate in my life, I am doing art that I like doing, and we are fairly comfortable as far as the crappy economy goes!

Two things you will enjoy as you get older, tho, are the sudden outcroppings of hair, where no hair existed before. And no need for a full nights sleep(probably due to all the time you wasted in your youth, that you are trying to make up for).

Yup, sleepless, and hairy........in Seattle.

guess I'm reading this at the right / wrong time of night...I'm in danger of going all existential and contemplating the meaning of life, the chances of continuing existence after the big event, and whether I will EVER be comfortable with random hair-growth :-)

Oh, it's great. I sit and contemplate the direction I'm taking a new piece in, while wistfully braiding my ear tufts with my fingers. Think of it as zit popping for old people. lol

I know... I have acquired a bold spot that is expanding. It is like the rings of a tree I figure when it expands outwards s that I have no hair, it's time for funeral arrangements.

Although I guess you could argue that the hair is simply migrating downwards as gravity has it's inevitable way with it. I end up with it in my ears and n my back. I guess gravity never stops tugging at us until we are nestled snuggly in mother earths bosom.

As crazy as this is going to sound, I've never met a bald headed man till I moved to Florida. I can't even recall seeing one in person. Louisiana boys usually have a full head of hair till they die. And, of course, everybody from Florida comes from somewhere else. Usually Yankees. Must be stress.
