To Whom It May Concern

Immortality?

I was thinking a little bit last night about what it might be like to live forever. I also wondered what point in my life I would pick, as in, what age I would want to be. I decided a person should pick when they were in the best physical shape of their life, for me that would be when I was 24 years old.

Right now I'm sitting right about 200 lbs, I am in relatively good shape, I could toss on running shoes and go run 5 miles if I had to, and I could do 50 pushups and 50 situps if need be. But when I was 24, I was 180 lbs of lean mean fitness machine. I was working that summer in a factory making the wooden pieces for postal carts *one of the worst jobs I ever had, yes, I have had a lot of bad jobs haha* I was cutting 2' X 3' plywood sections out of 8' X 4' plywood sheets, doing about 500 of them a day.

Now, right now my upper body is probably just as good as it was then, but back then when I would get home at night, I would do about 200 pushups and 200 situps and also run about 3 miles, every single day. Nowadays I really don't have the time to do that, although I would like to. Also, I don't know if it's getting older or having the extra 20 lbs on me, but I can't run nearly as fast as I did back then, I get winded so much easier. I will try to get myself into a lot better shape this summer.

I guess the dilemma is this: does a person pick the time in their life when they were in the best shape, or the time that they were happiest? I say the best shape, because happiness is not primary in this situation, meaning, you have all the time in the world to find happiness, you are immortal. But you have only one period in your life to pick for being immortal. Did that make sense? I hope so.

Bah, who would want to be immortal anyway, buy the time I'd reach about age 250 I would probably want to be dead anyway Haag, as much as I dislike change.
