I'm thinkin' steady state aging If its steadied,then reversed by 1-2
where one actively retards or stops their
aging then tries reversing it.
then an even decade think of how long one
can year-rollback they lives?

by Joe B. Pre 5–0 And Counting Ok,maybe calling readers chicken went a bit far but what do you expect from a columnist after near non stop writing for six years? As for on liner’s guessing who I am,seeing my photo if included it as part of my profile; well you know what my problems was bad image,mouth slightly covered with gapped teeth. Its been rocky a PM mainly because I’ve a lousy office manager with bad manners toward PC’s, phones,combo copy/fax machines,and CD players. It seems the mostly female interns see through my rough exterior black- gray sparse middle of my bald spot head psychically know they are not objects for ogling because when they or anyone be they young or mature boys,men or girls,young women or mature ones they are serious about being here and always had my deep respect for going Poor Magazine’s rigorous programs. Most of the boys and young men for some reason drifted away whether it was family,personal,jobs or finding a new job maybe some other crisis suddenly arose guys seemed to leave quicker than women. Women on the other hand (I hate to say it guys) were more determined to get through the programs, study,sacrifice,and drink in all the knowledge that equal Co creators of POOR Magazine Inc. has to impart. After a few months being surrounded by more estrogen than testosterone it became natural to listen a little more than be my regular problem solving,solution orientated self. Women confide,ask questions,not really wanting answers but exploring options and somewhere in their way answers are found. One such woman said "Joseph has a big ass." I didn’t know my real was so obvious however looking back in past photo’s I see my wide can I guess those are genes from my mother’s side now I’m wondering how many women saw my backside and like wide distribution of my fleshy ass? Being to lazy as a youngster to get into drugs,drinking,pills, glue, rock concerts or even sex until my late teens I missed the sped up aging process many of my contemporaries now show signs of. Did go relearn dance, go to dance club/bars and begin drinking because one of the busy interns loved to dance but didn’t want to be alone doing it so she drags me along its almost as if she corrupted me when I began to drink beer so as to fit in it’s a two glass or bottle limit so I’m a light social drinker. I’ve always been disconnected with the in group from way back in grade school on through high school and some Jr. College. Now that I am entering decade 5 more and more I must follow my own path which includes life extension,cryonics,and eventual immortality. Death is a given but a longer fuller life that’s what I want experience and I’ve always felt live as open ended though certain rules must be followed as in make few enemies,keep learning,if love and marriage is not in my near future then live a long, slow,intelligent, sensuous,soulful life as long as one possibly can. Feeling,acting younger than middle ages of the past is a difficult thing because it use to be those few freaks whom aging somehow slowed now there are others older, healthier,adults,a few of them act their age,stay home,take their medicines, slowly vegetate into death,others like myself cannot keep still,take classes,are bio-logically young yet chronologically doesn’t follow a straight line to the grave guess I’ll re read those Age Wave Books over again. Between Korea’s embryo cloning,life extended knowledge exploding all the old then death as normal rules do you think I feeling younger than I’m suppose to will just let nature and time have their way? They’ve already had their way chronologically it just biologically I’m better off. If one can be chronologically 70 yet look and feel biologically 45 or 30 guess what? Chronological time is wiped out,it’s biological that’s important. If we can delay,slow, retard,stop,or reverse biological time itself then no matter what anyone’s chronological clock say is moot. A hypothetical example: A woman,man,girl,or boy has genes,blood, chemistry,that slows their aging so that each decade they only age four months it means it takes 30 years for this individual to age one whole year. Its not immortality only an extended life span. That’s hypothetical now but we’re learning enough to begin influencing gene expression to turn on and off may be inserting or replacing good genes for bad or even having longer lasting artificial genes. Does this mean people born with artificially created genes are still human? Lots of questions like the above will be asked and not all of them or their answers will come from youthful college, university,or undergraduate students but many youthful minded elders and though traditionally youth does replace age we’re entering a twilight area where youth and age converge, and being elderly isn’t automatically mean old and slow and youth isn’t automatically quick and nimble. Politics will be shaken up by age quakes as age and youth blend who knows instead of dance clubs separated by age they might combine creating the ultimate breakdown of youthful aged,with first youth where many May December might not end as is usually thought as elders out think,out live, out love,showing outsized capacities that experience and time can only know.
