Old People

They talk about God a lot. I mean a lot.

Which is a good thing I guess.

They make noises when they have to make large movements like sitting or standing. Usually its a groan accompanied by the snapping of their joints. Sometimes they mention God (again) when they make this noise.

When they congretate, old men seem to have all the world's social, political and economic problems solved by the end of the night.

Old women talk about cooking. Or their kids.

I was at a wake for my mom's friend's mom tonight. Was it wrong that I was bored out of my mind?

I'm pretty sure it was. I didn't act bored. I just played on my phone for most of the time. I didn't really know anyone there and I don't think wakes are suppoosed to be socializing things right?

There were lots of old people there.

I hope that I get to be old one day - that I get to live that long. It must be neat... living a long life, having kids and a wife and all these stories to pass on.

But I know I'd want to be a healthy old person. I don't want to not take care of myself now and then become a burden on my kids.

I should sleep.
