    Shit is interesting right now. We’re at (or approaching) the climax of western society. I wanna see how the story resolves.

    “I meant,” said Ipslore bitterly, “what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?”

    Death thought about it.

    Food, empathetic people, smiles, cute animals, those little glimpses through the fog, or if all else fails, spite.

      Yes. I’ve put up with too much crap not to get to become a cranky old person ranting unintelligible bullshit, someday.

      I plan for it to be relatively pleasant unintelligible bullshit. But unintelligible bullshit it will still be.

    Wanting to live long enough to see the obituaries of those who are making the world a terrible place. (NB: Not specifically wishing anyone dead, only pointing out that time catches up with everyone, and many of the people I’m referring to are quite old.)

    I had other points but they’re reasons not to stop living as opposed to being reasons to live. One of those being morbid curiosity. And let’s face it, the one I started out with is pretty borderline.

    Sunrises. Mountains. Marmots. Fresh pow.

    Sunsets. Beaches. Tropical drinks.

    Just a walk around the block. That cute dog.

      Yeah dogs. I don’t have my own, but even every street dog I come across makes my life at least borderline bearable.

    I had some really good chicken curry today. (Temporarily off the vegetarian diet for complicated reasons, but it was good. Preferable to be alive when something like that comes along.)

    Possibilities. So no I don’t have anything in particular but im not ready to leave yet and if I do I hope it has some meaning. There are certainly things left to enjoy. Im big on simple things. Walks and nature.

    So damned much, there’s so much to see and do!

    I will die before I’ve read half the books on my list, scritched even a fraction of the goodest dogs who need scritches and eaten at each of my city’s amazing lil restaurants.
