Jane Fonda aside, aging sucks. Yeah, I know, I should consider the alternative. Well that's one major reason it sucks: there's no good alternative. It's all pretty bad no matter how you look at it:
1. Your face wrinkles and you look nothing like your original self.
2. Your body parts start to fail and so you never feel truly great.
3. Foods you once enjoyed now make you sick.
4. Sex is old hat, especially if you started doing it early.
5. Young people rule the world and they are usually dummies, or at least you see them as such.
6. New music is awful, but listening to "oldies" makes you cry.
7. You can't even smoke anymore!
8. Many of your favorite people are dead, and the rest soon will be.
Harsh, but true. So kick up your heels today if you are still young enough to do it!
I've been feeling down about how aweful I look and feel and everything else that goes with it and now I get to see your funny yet depressing spin on it. Thanks.
