Actually, I wish I had studied more. Probably could have been a neurologist or something....

When I was 14, my late brother was 17. He had a beater of a car and it needed a battery. So he asked me if I would accompany him on a shopping trip for a replacement.

So we went a few blocks from our house, walking along a poorly lit stretch of 165th Ave, near E. 14th street. Suddenly, my brother saw a car he liked and stopped. He quickly opened the hood and started to remove the battery. Just then, a cop car pulled up, and the young cop walked over to us asking what we were doing. My brother quickly said, 'hey officer, glad you're here. My battery's dead and we're having a hard time seeing what we're doing. Could you please shine your flashlight over here so we can remove it?' The cop dutifully helped us boost the guy's battery. We thanked him, and he drove off as we all smiled and waved at each other.

I've told this story a thousand times.

Both older brothers are dead. Feel like crying as I type... there goes... one shot at age 33, and the one I'm referring to died of cancer at age 48.

If I make it to age 73 I'll be the oldest male in our entire recorded family history.

While talking about ugly/fat chicks, a friend of mine goes "It all pink on the inside" and then proceeds to take 2 fingers and put them in a V against his mouth and stick his tongue in and out.

Eastbay I figure I'm on borrowed time if I make it past 60.

In fact once past 50 it may be iffy, not because I feel my health is bad, it seems to be quite good. But, based on social class, the lower you are on the class ladder, the shorter your life. Which certain rich fucktards on here never get tired of rubbing in.

Sad about your brothers. Try to live long and make the rich man live short!

Rich guys are the same as poor guys, they just have more money and are selfish.

Plants ... I feel like I'm on borrowed time every day. I used to be totally freaked out about mortality but no more.

About 3 years back I decided to maintain that perspective all the time in order to hopefully help improve my karma.

[PenultimateManStanding]

I hope you guys aren't talking about me. Yes, I grew up in rich circumstances. But I've already explained how that turned out. I currently make less than half the California income. So any prick who accuses me of being a richie rich is gonna get my ire.

I was talkin bout me. If you are rich, you still have a little time to redeam yourself. Give it to those who need it and can use it, no one will be rich pretty soon. I had millions but not no more, and I own nothing now but still a lot of leftover junk/electronic stuff that could be sold if I wanted to waste my time, just give it to goodweill.
Bible says: Sell all that you have and give to the poor, almost done with that. Most people don't believe it, But it is the only way to put money in a bank where thieves wont steal and where moths wont corrupt.
. well, still have one trailer worth 4000 bucks thinking I need it for something, just another lie, thanks for reminding me. Gotta get it on craigs list, thanks.
In 2 years the money I would have had or the gold I could have bought will be worthless. Then you won't be able to do it, and you will definitely be robbed. Better to be without anything and have full protection... It is really strange on some days to not have enough money to do what you want, it feels kind of exhilirating. Like living in danger, but it always works out. Very interesting.

The more you were given, the more responsible you were to use it for good. When the fan starts banging and the poo starts flying, you are going to feel so good not having to worry about all that junk/babysitting and protecting and cleaning. What a relief. Thank God. There is more chance for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter heaven. Great saying, totally true. Anyone selfish enough to be rich would not be a team player.
