What I want to be when I grow up
Was Woody Allen right in wishing to start life in an old age home, then
commence work with a gold watch and finish it when he's young enough to enjoy
his retirement which involves becoming a kid, playing a lot and eventually
ending life with an orgasm?
Maybe all those years spent as a kid thinking about what I would be when I
grew up was the wrong time of my life to be asking those question.
Perhaps it makes more sense to ask as an adult, what did I do as a child that
really excited me? Ignited my passion. Floated my boat.
As I kid I was dreaming about a future I knew nothing about.
As an adult, I can dream of actual days that I have lived as a child.
Days when I knew I was in the zone, doing what I loved, making a difference
and loving life. Time passed effortlessly, I was both focused and felt free,
my energy soared
Maybe answers to the future lie in the past.
As Woody Allen said, it would be more fun to live life backwards.
That full Woody Allen quote about living his life backwards is:
"In my next life I want to live my life backwards. You start out dead and get
that out of the way. Then you wake up in an old people's home feeling better
every day. You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension,
and then when you start work, you get a gold watch and a party on your first
day. You work for 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement.
You party, drink alcohol, and are generally promiscuous, then you are ready
for high school. You then go to primary school, you become a kid, you play.
You have no responsibilities, you become a baby until you are born. And then
you spend your last 9 months floating in luxurious spa-like conditions with
central heating and room service on tap, larger quarters every day and then
Voila! You finish off as an orgasm!"
