They had this sign in Baltimore years back... well, it was a mural that plastered on a 10+ story building actually. Anyhow.. it was about what's certain in life. I think I'll forever remember that sign. I really wish in hindsight that digital cameras were cheaper back then... I need to get one. My phone just isn't cutting it. It takes great pictures, but I don't have the software/cable to get it off the phone here. Of course I'm still lacking a computer.... but anyhow. I will rectify that situation soon enough.
So... What is this all about anyhow? I don't know why.. but I guess a couple of conversations I had today reminded me about death and taxes... and I suppose Cal Ripken, Jr too by default.
Death. How old is old enough.. where it's ok to let go? I can't imagine living to 100... I mean living years past your prime... all your friends and family.. gone. I don't think I would want to live to be that old. Of course, if the love of my life was with me.. of course I would hang on for as long as I could. But that comes to the second thing.. what if you were chronically ill? If you were on a respirator/life support and the only reason you were alive was because of an IV drip permanently plugged into your vein. Would you want to 'live'? If it was my choice, no. That's not worth it. Agonizing bed sores, unable to communicate... trapped in a shell of a human body. Screw that.
On a brighter note. Tax season is upon us soon. Even though it's only January, I'm excited. I always do my taxes as soon as I get my W-2, just because then it's out of the way and ZOOM. Refund city. I love my tax bracket :D
Anyhow. Those were my two thoughts for today.
It's friday. time to get my drink on.
WOOT!
