hi everyone, i wanted to write a piece about how im scared of dying.im 29 now and im 30 soon ,and im starting to realize we are not immortal.remember when you were a kid and everything was grown up and you had nothing to worry about?death seemed a long way off?you get to your teens and you still dont care, you start smoking and drinking.living like there is no tomorrow.early twenties much of the same , a blatant disreguard for any sane sort of living.now what do i do? im 30 soon, my hair is getting thinner , my stomach getting fatter and now  i gotta watch what i eat , drink and i have had to give up one of my greatest pleasures ,smoking.i really am starting to get scared ,its really bothered me for about two years now.i dont want to put too much of a downer on things, thanks for listening.i would like to finish with a piece of writing  by the band Pink Floyd,this means so much to me and always will.Time

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day

You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.

Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town

Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.

You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.

And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.

No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking

Racing around to come up behind you again.

The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,

Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.

Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines

Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way

The time is gone, the song is over,

Thought I'd something more to say.

"And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I

don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?

There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime."

My idea on death: Don't worry about something you can't do anything about, just live as good as you can while here. I believe most religions (except Buddhism ;-) are full of lies to control people, so don't worry about all the threats that they put forth about what might happen after you die. They only do it to intimidate their followers and to threaten others to join their cult. If you want to feel better, try learning meditation. It is a very old practice and the reason it is still here is because it works.

<<you start smoking and drinking.living like there is no tomorrow.>>

Hey, kid, I am now 63 and I still live that way! Chill!

quoting Pink Floyd ....exellent!

Age is just a number

Life is what u make of it.

Im 38 and having more fun now than i did in my 20's and early 30's.

Difference now i know what i want to do and how to go about it.

Never looked back since joining bridge club and subscribing to caravan monthly

Don't worry 'bout nothin' . . . live each day to its fullest . . .

I'm 55 . . had 2 heart attacts, open heart surgery(double bypass) . . sugar diabetes . . .

Nothing has slowed me down yet. . . you're as young(or old) as you feel. .

We cannot control death . . . it will come to us all . . . sooner or later . . .

So enjoy, my friend . . .
