It’s funny last week I had some alone time away from everyone as I spent the day just kicking back doing my thing I decided to go out and get a bite to eat.

I arrived at Boulder station a Local casino east of Vegas I thought to myself I am going to eat at the Counter as its much quicker didn’t have to wait in that 20 minute line to be seated and I wouldn’t have to worry about sitting next to a family of 10 with 5 crying kids.

AS I sat at the counter, just looking around I noticed quite a bit.

Most folks over the age of 65 always eat lots of soft foods Example salads and soups with bread I guess as one gets older your digestive tract can’t break down the harder foods as easy anymore.

Another thing I noticed many were just sitting there is a trance like look, almost like life has just ran by them and there is no turning back a comfortable numbness of profoundness kind of like seeking answers and or almost waiting for that day.

However what I really noticed was how so many folks were ALONE!!!

Its funny how we get older in life and less and less people are now surrounding us for the final leg and or journey we take upon ourselves. As I looked around I couldn’t help but ponder how many sitting around this counter about 30 in all were all thinking the same thing.

{WOW Life sure did fly by and know it s all downhill from here with no friends and little family left. **

Why is it as we get older we become ALONE, why do we have limited friends, why do we have limited patience, why do we prefer to be left alone, And why o why do WE all eat soft foods ?

I am coming up on 44 this June and I look around and see all me my friends with their families and wives and kids I wonder to myself will I be that Old guy sitting at the counter 25 years from now wondering what the hell happened to me.

When we are children we have so many friends and nothing bothers us at all. WE overcome everything and forgive all. As we get older we become jaded to the point of No return.

To be Loved, Feared or Hated, Which one are You ?

Or will I finally accept the fact that even thu my life has had its share of up’s, down’s and all arounds.

I won’t Die Alone at the Counter.

sounds depressing

Interesting to read... Not many people are observers, mostly everyone is just enjoying or despising the ride, but never take the time to appreciate the rest that goes on around till it's too late...

If you were sitting at the counter by yourself, you would have been fine. It was all those depressed fuks around you that caused this. Fuk them. Their lives are worthless. We hate them.

Buy a little counter and install it in your own home. From now on, sit at the counter and eat in peace and you will be happy. Eat only crunchy things - macadamia nuts and raw carrots and rock fukkin candy - crunch as loud as you want. Break your fukkin teeth on moth balls if you want and then grin at a mirror. Let those other depressed fuks munch on their soft oatmeal and cheese curds and eggs in their own quiet personal hell at that diner counter.

You'll be happy in your isolationism while they sit there sucking on oatmeal, longing to blow their brains out.

screw diners start eating at bars or strip clubs and cheer up.

Nice post paw. Sad but true. We all get so busy trying to get ahead, be successful and when we finally do, all the good years of life have passed by. That's why it's so important to live in the moment, cherish family and good friends and never lose touch.
