I Just Can't Believe How Old They Are

[Ar-Pharazon]

As for Jefferson etc., I always thought it was pretty funny that after the group had evolved into Starship - at which point I believe there were no original members left - the original band reunited!

They were still relatively young in 1989 (late 40's, maybe 50). Grace was with Starship for 2 albums before she left to do the Airplane reunion, and it was a pretty good record.

Is the remake still in development hell?

Haven't heard anything about a SOYLENT GREEN remake in a while.

It's not the growing older part that bothers me as much, it's the "everything ending" part that concerns me the most.

I'm the opposite, I'm fine with dying. It happens to everyone, it's inevitable. Honestly I find it quite comforting, I don't really want to go on forever if this is all there is.

But growing old, becoming a burden, outliving my usefulness. That scares the hell out of me.

I have mixed feelings about dying. I'm 48 years old, and have spent my life in a failing body battling cerebral palsy, chronic headaches, chronic fatigue (which admittedly might be a symptom of the CP), and IBS. After almost half a century of all that, death is beginning to sound like a sweet release.

On the other had, I'm nowhere near ready to check out yet. Too many things to see. Too much stuff to do. Too many people to annoy.

RandyS you're annoying me. (I like people to feel useful.)

I've had a lot of death this month. (And that's just people I know.) I know it's like franks and beans, death and taxes, politics and corruption. But I'm tired of it.

Good. I feel useful now.
I don't blame you for being tired of death. When it's you, that's one thing, but when it's somebody you love (or just care about) it's always hard. My last one was my mom in 2003 and I still have not gotten over it to the point that her birthday has become my least favorite day of the year. Thankfully I've learned to ignore Mother's Day.

When my mother passes, I will sing songs in her honor on her birthday and Mother's Day. But that's me.

I just need to learn how to play guitar.
