\"vitruvian\"<\/span><\/a>Only one more MD appointment and then I\u2019m hopefully done for the year. <\/span><\/p>\n

Dealing with the medical stuff as we get older is a royal pain in the ass. I\u2019m not in poor health, but even now I find myself longing for the days when I needed Zero help from any physician.<\/span><\/p>\n

My eyes aren\u2019t what they once were. My sinuses are a mess, and the doctors are always hounding me about my diet, exercise and a litany of other age related concerns.<\/span><\/p>\n

None of the things the Docs are mentioning are \u201cIn the RED<\/strong><\/span>\u201d they\u2019re just little things that seem to happen as we age. Of course the medical profession says \u201cwe have a medication for that\u201d. I\u2019ll be far more impressed when the medical profession says we can fix that problem for another 30 years! <\/span><\/p>\n

Yeah, give me a drug or procedure that reverses the issue for 20 or 30 years and I\u2019ll submit to it. I\u2019m not one of those people that is going to willingly take a fist full of drugs 3 times a day. Besides the expense, the side effects are usually murder.<\/span><\/p>\n

I can tell you this… I eat meat! I\u2019m not going to stop eating meat and if that means that I don\u2019t live quite as long so be it.<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s the point of living a long life if it\u2019s a life devoid of the little pleasures? I\u2019d much rather be happy than ancient and sad.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like most men, my preferred death would be to pass on during the most mind blowing orgasm of my life. I\u2019d like to arrive at the gates of heaven roaring in pleasure,\u00a0 semi hard, and dripping. <\/span><\/p>\n

I like that image for no other reason than it would be fun freak out all the pious religious people who missed out on so much because they lived in terror of an afterlife of punishment.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got this twisted view that God shakes his finger at you for not<\/span> enjoying the gift of life and the joys our bodies were built to have. What a waste if you didn\u2019t enjoy everything the world had to offer.<\/span><\/p>\n

I know that\u2019s not the mainstream view but then again\u2026 I\u2019m not and never have been mainstream.<\/span><\/p>\n

I hope everyone has a great Fathers Day. Now go find some time to do what made you Fathers in the first place.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
