The cloud or frozen head? I need to think about this.

[Raynine]

I am getting old, and my expiration date is close enough now, so I am thinking about choices.

I can’t decide if I want to download myself into the cloud or have my head cut off and frozen like Ted Williams, the famous baseball player. I know I want to achieve some sort of immortality. All my thoughts and dreams need to be preserved for posterity. Why? Fucked if I know. But if the technology is there and I hit the lottery, cryopreservation may be a chance for me to be revived in the misty future. Imagine, I could wake up in the year 3,000 with my head on a wheeled platform being displayed to the world as a famous artifact of biological time travel!

Old Ted’s body was frozen as well so they may be able to reassemble the parts down the road. I hope they keep good records because they could end up putting Ted’s head on the wrong body of some other rich individual. Just think, Ted’s first words could be, “You fuckin morons!” You stuck my head on George Soros’s body! “This twerp couldn’t hit a beachball with a telephone pole!” “I want my money back!”

I think I may scrap the idea of cryogenics in favor of the cloud. I can’t shake the vision of some young technicians in a few hundred years opening the frozen vaults and playing soccer with the frosty heads. My skull could end up scoring goals in a laboratory net! I think the cloud is a better option.

Of course, I ‘ll have to win the lottery first.

Don't kid yourself. You can go out kicking and screaming or go out with some grace.

Have you considered stand-up comedy?

I prefer to just be done. Most all of the really good stuff in life happens when you are young anyway. I am now at the age I bore even myself.

If you have been sincerely kind and done no concious harm then you have learned from your mistakes. If you would walk in the same footsteps if given the opportunity, then that is a problem.

I never liked Roy Clark because he was ego-centric. Jimmy Dean fired him for that. But that song was his magnum opus. Oddly, it had no flahsy guitar tricks in it.

I am perfectly content to the reach the point where my brainstorms are, at best, light drizzle.
