by Joe B. What would happen to anyone with a few centuries under their belt? How would any of us learn, grow, change given these extra years? Yeah, I’ve been pondering if I myself had those excess decades or an century or two. First given the extra time would have a calming influence. I's start something mundane like saving money for a special trip to Nevada to pay lots of money. The soul purpose: being taught how to really please 'n' pleasure girl friends or a future wife in oral sex. To learn the best way both lesbians and straight women have it done, what they really, really, really want (shades of Spice Girls) on the subject. Since they are the true foremost experts on such an intimate subject. The ultimate test of graduation would be a pleasing a lesbian, bisexual, and straight women to the point of them tearing, sobbing, blitzed out in joy. After wiping their eyes I’d thank them and leave with this hard won, difficult but ultimately pleasurable lesson. I seems stuff like that gets stuck in my head somewhere in the back of my mind and is released when needed. (This is why I have a 3rd. party reading my column for approval oh, well.) Time to savor life, learn, love, have friends, cultivate hobbies, be at peace work out emotional, physical traumas. Really get into Yoga, Tai Chi, The Karma Sutra, Tantra, Sex, all those mental constructs for two or three decades. Relationships would not be fraught with is it me, is it her problems. Take up dance, languages, travel, being more culturally aware. Collecting music books, Erotica not pornography. To open all those doors of perception in my mind, to change my physical appearance and perception of self over time. This is the first fifty years in a two hundred year journey. Would I be the same after the next fifty years? I’d have full range of my emotional states. Instead of wondering why my tear ducts still work when hearing new, old songs or movies that touch me emotionally. As for sexual orientation I’ll probably stuck in my hardwired heterosexual mode but still able to nurture children which curiously I’ve found I have the capacity and patience for. Now that’s odd and scary, knowing I could be a better nurturing mother than women who are more equipped to give birth but then be raised by a strong black woman and other female relatives it seeped into me. May be it helps explain why certain songs and movies make my eyes brim over. After the first century I may have married or gotten divorced. I don’t think my body and mind will be quite the same because of genetic manipulation of my bone structure, my small hands are stronger but less delicate looking and I might become a Masseur and learn to be a Chef and finally facing my math phobia. The next century would be full of concerts, travel, love, adventure, astronaut training, writing, and lots of funerals of family, friends, and famous folks I never met. To be at home where ever I am and use to technology or able to leave it living a balanced life. As for younger and older women knowing when and when not to bring baggage (experience) to the relationship and letting go of son’s and daughters lives though watching over them as a parents do. If 250 year pass and I’ve regained some youth and perspective I would be able to be student, instructor, wondering philosopher. As Ms. Margaret Chow’s show "I’m the one I want" I’d finally be the man I was suppose to be and though it takes a century or more it would be worth the wait to work out all my problems. To live alone or with another soul without the worry of being alone or loneliness being the dread that it is to many folks women do it and thrive men are learning too. I guess what I’m saying is while we live whatever time is left we must be good to ourselves first before having others in our lives. An as for the oral sex instruction in Nevada fantasy this is doable; all I have to do is save money for the trip and really be healthy and ready to learn all I can and graduate with crying colors. It may not change my romantic plight (I still have to relearn how to dance.) But I’ll have hidden confidence in my new found abilities. I might pick up other pointers beside the main lesson which is like extra credit. This is the only time I’ll go for extra credit because the benefits out way the lessons learned. Its your turns girls and boys what kind of person would you be in 250 years or more – I know, its hypothetical (humor me) what type(s) of person would you be?
