birth of an orgasm

"The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A death. What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, and you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating... you finish off as an orgasm."
--George Carlin

this totally makes sense. i remember somebody telling me that the order of our life is irritatingly fucked up. when you're in your youth, you have the energy, you have the time but you don't have the money. you step into adulthood and you start to have all the money, you still have the energy but you don't have the time. you go into old age and you have all the time, all the money, but you don't have the energy to enjoy both. so just a thought. wouldn't it be cool to live life the other way around?
