I caught a cold the other day from not wearing a jacket outside. How old am I? I used to be able to wet myself down, build a snowman, have a pitcher of ice water and all that would do nothing more to my body than cause me to sweat. Now I have the immune system of a drunken, 2 year-old-HIV-patient without a spleen. I get sick just listening to a conversation about colds.
What Is Old?
Old has nothing to do with age. Instead, Old is the condition of rejecting new ideas, longing for the past, scorning the future, and refusing to update one's view of the world.
Mission Statement
This blog’s mission is to accurately chronicle the descent of a once happy, well-adjusted adult as he tumbles helplessly into the abyss of bitterness, hatred and callousness. To fulfill this mission, no words are barred, no tradition is held sacred and no insult is deemed insensitive. As technology marches forward, man’s aging process is constantly being accelerated by social, economic and artistic changes. Medicine is prolonging life and slowing down the aging process, but society keeps inappropriately coveting youth by continually redefining what is considered young. How can a man cope in a world where his body stays younger longer but his culture says he’s older sooner? This blog will attempt to answer those questions. And if space allows we will also have pictures of cute cats!
