life, or something like it

i was talking to someone the other day and they had an interesting idea. i will expand upon it and add details, but the basic idea is not mine. i think maybe it was dominique or laura. or maybe it was someone else. that's not the point. the point is the idea. the idea is cool.

the idea: the life cycle should go in the opposite direction.

think about it. you're "born" old, decrepit, a terrible driver, and mostly useless unless someone asks how many miles you walked barefoot thru the snow to get to school/work/location in question. you sit around the house, freak young people out with your old person smell, and collect social security. slowly, you get younger.

the meat of your life is still spent in the workforce. i dont remember if the idea holder had the job going backwards too (i.e. starting at your highest salary/position and working your way down). imagine the possibilities of both ways. it might be nice to keep the structure as it is, as some good times are in your future. however, you'll be more irresponsible and naive then. or is that real life? i'm confused.

as you prepare for "retirement" you are getting younger and younger. you are more able to travel, drink, walk, run, have sex, and do any other activity that involves something physical or sharp thinking. you're generally more mobile than a senior citizen and can therefore engage in any activity you want with greater ease. yet you have fewer cares because your working life is behind you.

you slowly become totally dependent on others (what a mirror to senior citizens), and live a life based on a desire for pleasure and an aversion to pain. all you have to do is cry and someone will put a boob in your mouth. finally, as a grand finale, someone shoves you into a vagina the size of your head.

now that's living.
