Old Age

Discussion in 'Random Thoughts' started by neonspectraltoast, Sep 2, 2019.

  1. I'll just be collecting social security and living in some assisted living quarters. I won't have any friends or loved ones, and I won't be able to drive. I'll just sit in my room and poop my pants and leave cranky comments online.

    I'm pretty sure there are people in their 20's and 30's that are doing this right now...

    I don't mind aging and have at this point not been that afraid of being old but yes, I like most older people, experience time is going by faster. Also not in a problematic way though. But that feeling/perception that like a 6 week summer holiday really seemed endless when you were a kid or in your teens, that's pure bliss. Maybe that's why i smoke weed so regularly :p I always lose track of time and afternoons seem endless :)

    Anything that inhibits oxygenation of the blood; cigarettes or heavy weed use probably does lead to early onset dementia

    I think if I live my life lonely (btw: there's an important difference between being alone and being lonely) in some kind of retirement home pooping my pants on a daily basis I'd probably get my ticket for the death adventure. Fuck sitting in such a situation for maybe decades! :eek:
    See ya in the next world!

    A proper case of dementia may be just what i need in order to live with crapping myself daily :p

  9. This was weird, though, because I seriously was in another thread when I posted the pictures, and then after they posted I was here. It's not dementia, it really happened? You believe me, don't you Johnny. Oh, Johnny, I always liked the way you part your hair down the middle.

    money isn't that much of a magic wand if you lack imagination and a willingness to exercise logic.
    you can have a tun of crap without either, but actually enjoying any of it is entirely a seperate question.

    also, last i heard, women can still expect to live longer.

    I don't really know your situation NST, but you paint a pretty grim picture of your life there. I hope it will not turn out as badly for you as you predict.

    Will probably be doing the same crazy shit I'm doing now 20 years from now. Don't see myself changing. If anything I've become more productive, more focused, and hopeful the older I've gotten

  17. Well I don't have any family and haven't had a girlfriend in a decade. I can barely control my bowels now as it is. And I have schizophrenia.

    As I get old, my mind will become even slower and duller. Possibly suffer some kind of injury. Eventually they'll just have to throw me in a home, probably not a great one, where I'll vomit up grilled cheese milkshakes.

    But yeah, maybe I'm wrong.

    That's harsh for you. I have schizo-affective disorder and haven't had a partner in eleven years. But I do have family.
     
  19. I have two sisters, but they could really care less about me.

    I'd just bet you fart freely without concern about the next door people hearing you?
