Life Is A Terminal Disease
I don’t read labels. I eat whatever I want. I smoke to much and I drink. I don’t exercise.
I’ve worked at some job or other since I was about 8 years old. Paper routes, shoveling snow, mowing lawns. Us kids did those kind of jobs when I was young.
I was a dope taking hippie and radical in the late 1960s.
I will be 61 years old next week and I am not on any medication. The only serious medical condition I have ever had was appendicitis when I was about 35 years old.
Everything we eat has been determined to be hazardous to our health by some study. Many of the products we use has also been found hazardous.
Life, itself, appears to be a terminal disease and no one survives.
I’m with ya on this one….
I love my beer, smoke to much and no meds for me….except Tylenol or Motrin…:)
I don’t go to the doctor, doctors will find shit wrong with ya and put you on meds….I would just rather not know anything….I eat the way I want and live the way I want….and I feel just fine…
You’re a man who knows what he likes and enjoys his life. It doesn’t sound like you’re doing major harm to others, knowingly or unknowlingly, so do as thou whilst!
I didn’t expect to live long, and lived like it. 🙂
My mom told me to enjoy myself when I was young. Don’t wait till retirement. Do it now.
Anyway I Outlived Elvis. 🙂
Yep, ain’t none of us getting out of this alive. I’ll take a cold one if you have it.
I don’t go to the doctor either and I eat what I like which are natural and healthy foods because they taste better to me. I also feel better when I eat them.
Have you ever had a concussion?
Prescription drugs kill a lot of people so if you can stay off those you are doing well – watch that smoking though lol 😆
You just have a good constitution, John. I envy you your good genes! Enjoy life to the fullest!
My family has always died young and we like it like that. Pass the cheesecake.
They say stress will kill you. I think avoiding worry about every little thing you put in your body is probably one reason why you’re so healthy. Here’s to many more healthy years for you, John!
Good blog, John. Termnal indeed. If staying on the ride starts to piss me off more than the fun of riding, I’ll jump off. It’s good to have met you.

I’m 57 and healthy. I also avoid doctors and drugs. Everyone I know is hopelessly addicted to prescription drugs and remain in a perpetual state of ailments and pills. It seems doctors like to keep people on “maintenance” medications instead of curing people. I guess medical practitioners get nice kickbacks from the drug manufacturers or something.
And Now We have this:
YUMMY! 😉
“Food with a Bite” lol
What I want to know is where does the Time go….
He’s come to take his children home….
Thumbs up 🙂 And the cliched fact is,no matter how healthily one lives their life,accidents happen. Trucks,electricity,fire,acts of nature,high drops…. 😀
What one chooses to absorb into their own body is doing no harm to anybody else,and I find it one of the most insidious forms of control when others elect themselves to decide what we can and cannot do to our OWN bodies,or negatively judge others for what they are doing to their own body. It is nobody elses business. Full stop.
We live for LIFE,not having a “good” death 😀
I must admit… at first I was a little bit disappointed, sir. I had come here expecting to see an entry with plenty of new age guru health tips, and plenty of advice on what I should do in order to live to a hundred years old in a state of eliquilibrium with the realm of my cosmic existence… Or perhaps a monologue on what a horrible person I am for eating meat, and how dreadfully unhealthy it is for me to boot… At the minimum a surgeon general warning about the dangers of smoking. I thought to myself, “where’s the well meant advice to promote my spiritual and physical and emotional health?! Doesn’t this man care at all about the well being of his fellow human beings?!!”
Then I realized that the message of this entry is about a thousand times more benevolent and easier on the eyes, spirit, and brain than what I had come here expecting to see. Guess I’ve just become so conditioned at being told what to do, by folks that neither know me, nor would give a rat’s ass if they did. Thank you for not doing that.
You have thus all ready done some good for somebody, somewhere.
I’m 67 (and three quarters) Was on no medication until a month ago when my doctor suggested that I try a low dose of thyroid meds in the hopes of maybe losing some of the weight that I’ve gained since I quit smoking.
Most of the time my doctor tells me that I’d be just fine if the medical profession would just leave me alone.
Even when I was smoking three packs a day, he’d tell me, “I shouldn’t say this, but your lungs sound great.”
