Looking Young Sucks

 What's the use of looking young when you feel like shit all the time? Wouldn't it be better to have the whole package instead of a half-ass representation of who you really are?

We all know that feeling great comes with a huge cost - some of which is time spent taking care of yourself through diet and exercise. And who wants to do that?

Yes, we avoid the good things for us like the plague and gravitate to bad stuff like flies to shit. I feel this all the time and when I eat junk, I feel like junk.

The only way for me to break the cycle is to hunker down and do what's right. And when I eat better, I begin to feel better. And when I exercise, I feel younger to finally match the way I look.

I'm no spring chicken and there are other people my age who look a hell of a lot younger than me. But I do get surprised from time to time when people tell me that I don't look my age. And I admit it feels good, especially when I'm not doing what I'm supposed to do and feel like total shit.

But matching my look sucks, I'm not going to lie. I love sweets and mixing up my carbs and proteins too. Oh sure it's awesome going down - but the lethargy and lack of motivation only makes it worse, as the weight scale numbers begin to rise.

Another thing that's crazy is that because I look younger than I am, people think that I should be free from the aches and pains of getting older. And I get it all the time from people who are actually my age, they say stuff like: "when I was your age..." or "when you get to be my age..." And when we both realize that we're both the same age, the conversation shifts to something far different than where we first started.

But as my mom continues to say.. "getting old sucks" And I totally agree, sometimes when I'm really feeling like crap, my mind will verse out shit like "take me know, I'm ready.."

So I don't know how long I'm supposed to last on this planet. But I really love it when I can enjoy the time that I have left. And if I gotta hunker down to feel better and match the way I look, than so be it. Either way - it still sucks..

Gimme My Money

 Working at a Casino tells me a lot about us humans and how we fall short on holding down tempers when cold hard cash is on the line - especially when you add age, alcohol and other drugs in the mix. "Can you fix this machine to win?" is always the same question I get from everyone. I like to fuck with them and tell em' YES! Then I do a little genie lamp rub on the side of the machine and say voila! She's ready for your money now.. They look at me like - who's this asshole? And we all laugh.. until they start putting their money in and get serious with their luck. Most of the time the machines just break down in the middle of a hand or bonus and all they want is to get their money out and go somewhere else. Impatient as they may be, they'll still have to wait for the machine to run its course and kick out a voucher. Give me my money kinda sounds to me like I'm the gatekeeper that trapped their cash inside the machine. But in reality I'm NOT the one who...
