It’s freaky being old – part2
When you finally face up to the fact that you are on the way out, there are a few tips that might help you:
- Mirrors are no longer your friend. They are brutal instruments of reality, probably designed by young people to remind us of the truth.
- Shutup, nobody wants to know what it was like in the olden days. Unless of course your grandchildren are at university studying mythology of something like that.
- Things were not better way back then, they were different, that’s all! You’ve already forgotten the difficult bits.
- Buy paper cups and plates. There is no way that you will outlive crockery.
- Don’t buy anything with a lifetime guarantee, you just won’t get the value out of it.
- Don’t promise to haunt your relatives. My mother told me she’d haunt me. I waited for years but she never turned up. Disappointing really!
There’s got to be some good news. And there is!
For the rest of your life, your mistakes won’t have time to catch up to you.
For men, you can be cranky, it is expected of you.
For women, you can safely ignore him, chances are, he’s wrong again.
There probably is no meaning to life so you can stop thinking about it. Anyway, you’ll find out shortly.
So you see, it’s not all hardship and sadness when you get old. For one thing you’ve got death to look forward to and it could be really good! Can’t wait to find out. FKQ7Y2MBMRQY
It’s freaky being old – part1
You are old when you have more time behind you, than in front of you.
- Foolishly, you tell young people that the only good music was the stuff you listened to as a youth.
- You start saying things like: ‘You are only as old as you feel’. That’s stupid, what makes you think that a person your age feels any differently than you do?
- Every time you see a young mother, you say: ‘She looks too young to have a baby’. And the women say: ‘You’re too old to be looking at young mothers!’
- You think you look young for your age but your friends look their age.
- Your children have reached middle age and you still call them kids!
- People in power are younger than your children.
- You just don’t get it. Nothing makes sense to you: computer games, ipods, loud music, crazy hair styles. Your world has turned into a foreign land and you can’t speak the local language.

Underground Delights – my new creepy blog
I have to tell you about my new blog – Underground Delights. It came about because I love stretching my mind to entertain new concepts about life. I don’t like the conventional and safe philosophies that are the safe refuge for most of society. Fleeting abstractions
Transforming Creativity
I love the things in life that are mysterious, abstract, not quite understandable. (Sounds like my wife’s description of me!)
I love the sea because it is always changing, it’s beauty is transforming before you.
Imagine years ago when it could not be photographed. It’s ever changing surface could only be represented by an artist, at best.
What about the perfect moments that you have had with your partner somewhere, maybe on a holiday or at a cafe… they can’t be captured or even properly recalled.
When I was a portrait artist I loved to capture that look on the face at that exact moment. It would not be back.
If you are parent you have experienced many beautiful times when your child said something so cute you could have melted or they looked so gorgeous, you had to pick them up. These times are fleeting.
What am I getting to? I have a new website where I am asking viewers to contribute an abstract moment, a fleeting strange interpretation of life. In 200 words or less I want a new way of seeing life!
Have a look undergrounddelights.com.
