by Joe B. A birthday’s coming up, mine. Don’t want to celebrate it with calories, fat, icing, and ice cream or any sort of food except home cooked in one of two cities away from San Francisco. Thought of mortality arriving and contingencies if not avoiding the inevitable being prepared to both let go and embrace Mr./Ms. Grim Reaper and the most high while hedging applied science will help in my return. I’ll just be in bed with someone most of the night and some the next and maybe a few days after that. I’ll be on the cusp of 50 feeling great doing my utmost to keep it that way. My plan, go into a gym use it to workout whatever frustrations, problems, errors making the body a fortress of solid lean muscle and nerves. Other friends have gone through horrific scenes and survival meant temporary loss of dignity because survival’s what most important at the moment not dignity in death. Thinking back a few years I sardonically laugh at my pointless half hearing gripes, blaming others for inner turmoil created within my psyche. I’ve jokingly say I only want three things in life. Not much only three things in life. Immortality for me has to be first because with this I’ll have no time for learning the science and technologies to achieve the rest. I must write a list of goals achieved and yet to be accomplished. Nearly dying of double pneumonia twice a few years ago made a coward out of me, this was before being mugged by two guys after that I seemed to slowly regain my regular self though it took time I believe that’s why my room became such a mess; there are still unresolved issues. There are times where fear of rain, cold, or misty fog the kind that seeps into your bones kept me in my apartment for weeks at a time. I knew I was really ok when I actively sought one of guys who mugged me and when I saw him I went up to him, looked into his eyes, "What Are You Looking At?" Then I left slowly keeping my eyes on him until I’m at my apartment. "I want to kill him with a palm to bridge of his nose which would send bits of bone and cartilage into his brain instantly but it came to me, he wasn’t worth killing, going to jail for. $60 dollars was stolen from me by the two thieves but the money was quickly spent they stole from someone on General Assistance not from a Nob Hill, limo riding owner of a trendy restaurant, dance club/bar so they’d have to do again and sooner or later they’d rob the wrong person and get knifed or shot for their attempts. I have to prepare for travel abroad and don’t know how long gone I’ll be but it could be a few years before returning between 2010 or ’11. Some people have done this at younger ages and its second nature when they travel to older folks like myself it is a big deal, being older only makes it more poignant than younger people because of relatively less time we older folks supposedly have. I’ve thought of lots of place America to visit especially where you college, university females would be when half soused and in aggressive amorous mood. Then I thought "nah, I really want to go overseas to learn all kinds or things without distractions America would have. I’d like to return from my extended travel if not a different person but slightly better than I left and be more of an adventurer. [Wait, isn’t using cryonics trying to trick or beat death the ultimate risk taking adventure second to doing it while one is still alive? To all those lovely women 45 or some young as 24 thank you. You’ve made e-dating less of a problem and one more option. I hope to meet a few of you before taking that long trip abroad – I might meet some of you on my journeys. You have my web site if not it’ll be shown at the end of the column. Bye…. 1448 Pine Street #205 San Francisco, CA 94103 For Joe only my snail mail: Email: |
