Shit. How many billion people are there in the world?

 

You can focus on the negative and depress yourself - you are a climber, you own a rope, go hang yourself!

 

Or do something else.

 

You weenies that just turned 30 - What wimps! You're kids! I'm a generation older than you, and I'll bet I'm in better shape than you! (And I have a big penis.) I celebrated my 40th birthday by going paragliding. That was a few years ago. Look at Stimsom Bullitt and Fred Beckey - those guys are in their 80s and still climbing. 30 years old, and you're whining! Put a gun in your mouth! Please!

You know, faggot, you're right. What am I doing in cafe feeling-sorry-for-yourself when I feel so good. I should find something to whine about. I mean, when I first heard about Dr. Denton's suicide, while I didn't understand it, I remember thinking first thing when I heard about her 43-story jump - "Awesome!" That must have been amazing. THEN I went on to think other things about it, and then I just forgot about it. Until cafe group-hugz-from-lifes-victims reminded me of it again, that is.

 

I guess I do have some things to be sad about - do you know just how hard it is to climb in jackboots? The good thing about them is (are?) you don't need gaiters, though. -OOPS! Shame on me! Looking at the positive side again! I'm sorry. I'll go now.
