take a pill

so yesterday again i forgot my lunch again and rather than eating most things in the close area around me...which aren't healthy at all (yup i'm trying this health thing...we'll see how long it lasts), i jumped in my car and drove to what i thought was the nearest grocery store.. Extra Foods! i enter the parking lots and truly people....even though there is a right side and left side on the little streets...there's one lane. that's it. driving in the middle. and then when you try to turn and the on coming traffic is in the middle barly able to see over the steering wheel but still landing to you send you a nice glare....that's a good time. so i go in. its been awhile since i've been in this mall but you know what... i need a salad..anyways.

i get in the mall and no word of a lie it's a sea of almost dead people...just walking around like zombies. it's kinda like a two step shuffle and then freeze for a bit. so after dodging a few slower moving people than i've ever met before i make it to the check out. the lady in front of me has one of those voices...you know what i'm talking about...old lady screatching trembing voice...so she's going on complaing about how much pain she's in. "when i get home dear i'm gonna take a pill" i'm nosey so i look down at what she's buying....maybe 3 trays of cookies, bottles of pepsie, cheezies, pepperoni sticks, tang, ice cream....basically pure shit! and this lady wonders why she has pains. good lord.

then i think for a moment. how will i be when i'm older? did this woman diet all her life and now she's living it up while she can? all i know is that i really don't have any more sympathy for old people. if anything i'm more terrified than i ever was. my advice to the elderly....stay off the road...yes that means your gigantic cars, scooters, walkers...anything, take some vitamins, stay hydrated and maybe order meals on wheels. if i get old like this take me out the wilderness and leave me there

Wow it must be bad if you're asking to be left in the wilderness! The funny this is that I basically ranted the same thing to Eric the other day...ha ha...
