Are you 27 now?

Are you as uncertain about the existence of Casper the Friendly Ghost?

If the means were available where you could feasibly have a lifespan of a few centuries, why wouldn't you take it? You'd get to see spaceships and all that Golden Age sci-fi **** and get an opportunity to explore the universe.

I only bring this up because within the next ten years you are going to see procedures and products on the market that have some kind of legitimate effect on lifespan. Especially in regards to some the advances being made with CRISPR and over the counter stuff that will eradicate your 'senescent' (AKA zombie) cells, among other things.

Was gonna post about Human+. If I can get the chance to live forever without aging into a crippled wallet then I'll shank any of you for it. But if I can't then I'm not going to make myself miserable clinging to life as long as I can. I'm smoking and drinking myself into an early grave cause that's the way I want to live my life, at least for the moment. If that takes ten or twenty years off of my life that I wouldn't have wanted anyway then **** it. At least I'll have been as drunk as I possibly could be in the meantime.

Besides, I enjoy being The Batlord in an odd way as I find the inside of my head to be a colorful and fun place much of the time, but I'm not gonna front like life probably isn't going to suck the joy right out of me sooner or later considering how I go about living and interacting with the rest of the world. I'm just not compatible with society I suppose, and it wears on a nigga.

And **** having kids. They're great for some people I guess, but I absolutely should not have children and I don't want them to an even greater degree.

For the record, I’m only speaking for myself. And I have to say I don’t hear many people who actually know me say I should’ve been a father. I definitely wouldn’t want to be my son.

Nice to admit that your life as a parent has been a complete waste. I'm proud of you.
