Next Life

[pope1982]

Next Life, by Woody Allen


In my next life I want to live my life backwards. You start out dead and
get that out of the way. Then you wake up in an old people's home
feeling better every day. You get kicked out for being too healthy, go
collect your pension, and then when you start work, you get a gold watch
and a party on your first day. You work for 40 years until you're young
enough to enjoy your retirement. You party, drink alcohol, and are
generally promiscuous, then you are ready for high school. You then go
to primary school, you become a kid, you play. You have no
responsibilities, you become a baby until you are born. And then you
spend your last 9 months floating in luxurious spa like conditions with
central heating and room service on tap, larger quarters every day and
then Voila! You finish off as an orgasm! I rest my case

That is classic! Where did you find that Pope? I used to love Woody Allen until he married his stepdaughter. My favorite movie of all time is Annie Hall. I used to go see it when I was depressed. It was one of those movies that played here and there for a good 2 years in NYC.

A quote that I love from Annie Hall -
"It was great seeing Annie again and I realized what a terrific person she was and how much fun it was just knowing her and I thought of that old joke, you know, the, this, this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, 'Doc, uh, my brother's crazy, he thinks he's a chicken,' and uh, the doctor says, 'well why don't you turn him in?' And the guy says, 'I would, but I need the eggs.' Well, I guess that's pretty much now how I feel about relationships. You know, they're totally irrational and crazy and absurd and, but uh, I guess we keep going through it...because...most of us need the eggs."

[Dobie]

I've read that once before - I think it's a very interesting point of view.
