What will you be like when you're old?

I sort of have a fear of getting old. I can hardly imagine myself as an old person. I like to imagine I'll be fucking cool though. Hip, witty, and still have a zest for life. Though I don't want to be a bitter old person, I still want to be witty and sarcastic.

I just made a flyer for my mom advertising being a senior care helper and I wanted to add clip art of some old folks. The first image that popped into my head was of the old woman from the 'I've fallen and I can't get up' commercial. I know! I'm a sick person. And I wouldn't ever actually post that on the flyer, that's just how my mind works for my own amusement.

So then I remembered the comic 'Maxine' of a very sarcastic old woman and I used some images from that comic on the flyer. I imagine I'll have Maxine's sarcasm when I'm older. I've always looked a lot younger and I think I still will as I age. My bet is I'll be dating guys half my age. lmao. I don't think I'd do the standard old woman short hair cut. I always cut my hair really short now so I think when I'm old I'd finally let it flow, flow, flow...

I can also see myself becoming like Maude from Harold & Maude..

What do you think you'll be like when you're older?

maxine comics:


me in the future?
this woman showed up on my tumblr page the other day, I guess she posed for american apparel recently

 

will you still see me will you still need me when im 64?

 

well. I wanted to die 27... but If I make it to old age I'm probably gonna be one of those ppl who needs to be taken care of. I'm gonna have to wear diapers.. and the only thing Ill say will be : Nurse, Nurse..Where are my pills?!?
I don't wanna die healthy. I wanna get used up. and die messed up.

 

I'm still going to be wild and crazy. I already don't act 35. Why would I, all of a sudden, start acting my age? I'll probably be something like this....

 

Well, it doesn't hurt too bad. I'm still a smart-ass and some even say I'm fun. Someone had a saying in here somewhere--"It's mandatory to get old but not to act old." Or something like that. If you want to stay young of mind--just look around at the ridiculousness of life and laugh it off!!

No kidding Skip. Why it was just 1980 a couple 'a weeks ago, seems like. The one thing I realize, is how much time I wasted.

 

Hopefully alive, now that I've quit smoking. I'm amazed at how I've been losing my reckless edge as I've grown older. I don't even feel like going to bars anymore. I'm not even 30. I feel like an old man already. I guess I'll probably be calm, if anything. Hopefully relaxed.

 

I'll probably be the old guy who thinks he knows everything better (at least better than all the youngsters) My hair will be on the bottom of my head instead of on top but it will still be really long

 

What do you call Old? I might already be there.

 

I'll probably end up like Ann "The Demon of Derby" Calvello, who played roller derby until she was 71. The original villainous roller queen. <3

 

I'll be dead before I get old. This world will have killed me by then.

 

Hopefully just as random, spastic and retarded as I am now.
I haven't much plans to get real and grow mature.
I know my ears are gonna be fucked up real bad from tinnitus.
My eyesight will probably dwindle and I'll need more surgery.
I dunno though. I'll be alright.

 

and I think I'll still be driving my vw beetle, singing along to this song
eh, or might start taking the bus again

No one wants to confront the idea of their own death, its one of the basic flaws of mankind.

 

I will get by, I will survive.

I'm going to be the same cool motherfucker that I am right now, only with more gray hair....that part is already happening.


On a similar topic....at least I already know exactly what I will look like. I look nearly identical to my dad. When I was 16 or so, I saw a picture of my dad at the same age and wondered for a second when someone could have taken a black and white picture of me. All of his brothers look like him too.

 

I will still be chasing girls who are too young for me and way out of my league,whilst living in a Buddhist monastery and smoking crack on payday.
