Kirk's Story
An update of life at 52;
I am still married to Candy and we still live west of Wyoming on the same farm in the same old house. The only thing that continues to grow is the grass and the size of my waistline, and we all know what shrinks as the stomach gets larger. My son is 21 and continues to learn speeding will get you a ticket and a ticket will increase you insurance.
I used to watch the news, but I've found out lately that things aren't that bad if no one tells you they are. Gas prices are up but sneaker prices are staying the same. The price of a gallon of water is far more expensive than a gallon of gas and water is free. The surgeon general is right about cigarette smoking, but I still smoke because they say I shouldn't. Instead of partying untill 5 in the morning, I'm getting up at that time. Instaed of buying an inground pool I got a huge rubber tire, attached a rubber bottom to it and filled it with water. For air conditioning I rub Vicks on my chest and ask Candy to blow on it for me and instead of a washer sitting in the yard I have an old big screen television.
My hair is turning gray but I still have hair. I am noticing some age spots creeping through on my skin and every now and then see veins on my legs that I've never noticed before. I use Prilosec on a regular basis and keep Alka Seltzer on hand just in case. The reality of being on an Olympic team has by far passed unless I try out for the Senior Olympics and then I can get my food at half price.
Yes, life has been grand. the years continue to pass, I hope they let me keep my license after I turn 70, I hope they get rid of that Lysol smell in the old folks home before it's my turn, I hope they invent a smaller cannister of oxygen to carry around when it's my turn, I hope they increase the horse power of those little scooters at Walmart when it's my turn, I hope I get any color but silver when I get my walker, I hope they still don't call adult diapers adult diapers and I hope they find a different attire to wear in the hospital other than the open back look when it's my turn.
Since I have so many characters left, let me do a little life update. I opened a used car dealership in Easton and now have our home on the hook at the grand age of 52. Life has settled down so much I'm working on joining a motorcycle club and hangin with the bros. Instead of blood in, blood out, its more like blood in and ...Expand for more
aged out. I've takin my life on a spiritual journey through uses of positive energy, learning about chakras and burning essence oils. I'm wondering what it will be like to use the other 95% of my brain. Even 5% more would be new. As Axle Rose would ask, "where do we go from here?" It's in one of their songs, guess the band and win a prize, but you'll have to write to know what you won. Hey, by the way, why don't more of you put pictures on your profile. As you can see, I haven't taken my bod to new highs, so join in the fun unless you haven't learned how to upload, then get with it.
Until next time, I still have close to 17,000 characters left. It's next time, April 2009. I'm not joining a motorcycle club, found out it's more fun being a solo and no protocol I have to follow, come and go as I please. The economy has hit rock bottom so there's no where but up they say. I hope so, I'm too old for stress. Stopped burning the oils, but I'm still searching for my inner soul. I hope that it's not too late to find it, the journey has been so much fun so far. I ordered 1500 tobacco seeds so I can plant my own cigarettes and avoid the taxes they just slammed smokers like me with. Hey, you all watch, pretty soon pizza and burgers will begin to get taxed because they are bad for you. Would someone please tell me what the meaning of "life liberty and the pursuit of happiness," means.
By George, it's May 2009 and 16187 characters left. My tobacco seeds are growing so well I'm thinking of adding some pot plants for strictly midicimal purposes, to take the pain out of realizing 35 years have past since my last day of high school. I'm really not sure what I want to be when I grow up but by the time I figure it out life will decide it for me. I started this event board to see about throwing a party and calling it a reunion. The best thing about this party is that all of our kids should be able to take care of themselves giving us time to enjoy life without playing the part of a responsible parent. Since I don't have any friends, maybe having this party and calling it a reunion will inspire me to seek out friendships. Or maybe not. If some people show up my wife will think I was well liked in high school and begin believing everything I told her to get her to marry me. It's 1:56am and I can't remember why I woke up in the first place, oh yeah, I remember, gotta go. Will update you all later.
