Age is in your Face

Matt Maeda

Being sick has played a toll on your aging, but when you look at yourself with an extra wonder of how long youll be around you notice you are aging at a fast rate. Looking back at pictures from 2003 shows just how quickly. A picture of a young and slender person to someone who has gained some pounds and a look of slight aging of the skin could probably pass as an older sibling.

As I talk to people around me it seems I am the only one around my age or younger who are starting to realize or have realized this terrible but all too apparent news of life goes by fast. The other day I had talked to a few chick friends of mine who were talking about everyday drama, but as they continue to talk about their problems I wonder if the idea of solving it ever came to mind. I say this, and they tell me they just want someone to listen, which is another way of saying im emotional and I have no regards for other peoples time. I get ever so bored and end the conversation after three hours in, since it is starting to gape 2 hours more then I ever wanted to in a situation which was never ment to be fixed in the first place.

I go and look at a picture of my favorite video game hero Mega Man a great hero of justice and good. He never looked a day older... it made me wonder what would happen if they had aged him even slightly throughout the series on how much different his look might have been. No, he looks the same as he was when he was made. I like the blue bomber and he is a hero to me, but damn I wish I aged like he did.

The main thing to know is that life is coming up fast no matter what age you are. It is important to know this by at least 18, but if you can realize it at even 12 I say you will pave roads! lots of roads! cause theres no better motivation then some person of Death saying your ass is gonna die and no one will care unless you do shit with your life! hell its like knowing your life was meaningless until you got anything even started, because even people who tried and failed are remembered. Evil people are remembered for sabotage! but people who just sit around were never remembered, and those who accomplished the impossible were forever rememebered among the people.
