You know recently I read an article about the elderly and by elderly I mean individual's over 55 years of age, those that were coming close to retirement years and claming they should "get angry"...and force change towards the elderly and acceptance of them in community, and event's and I gather basic civil living. It was a cry for acceptance by youth for the elderly. I found it very ironic and rather naive as well as offensive and I'll tell you why. All through life, youth are constantly demanding on the older generation for some form of acceptance and understanding, and most often on "deaf ears". When you begin to look at the age of some of these people, well then "deaf ears" seems appropriate. Of course I completely understand the desire for still wanting to be a part of society, but I feel the elderly should understand that with age comes a change in ability and it should also include responsibility. The fact is responsibility should be handed down as appropriate. Yes you have worked all your lives, something you've made as very aware of as you've held a position of power over us, be it as a manager, as a mother, as a father...as a member of parliament or what ever level you hold power over someone. However while that power may have enriched you, while keeping others economically poor, as age comes power diminishes and we see a balance of power come into play as new services now see a handing over of monies to new services, which I will point out, in most cases are for not only your benefit but also for others.
For example, and I am going to quote some figures on this, because I still feel this is an important issue, the recent work till over 65 is starving other community members of position and resources for growth while increasing the danger to other members in the community. Recently I found a table on death's by car accidents per age group..
it reads something like this
Deaths by Motor Vehicle Accidents
From 1-4 the death rate per 100,000 people is 38.3
From 5- 14 the death rate per 100,000 people is 22
From 15- 24 the death rate per 100,000 people is 90.3
From 25- 44 the death rate per 100,000 people is 177.8
From 45- 64 the death rate per 100,000 people is 708
For people over 65 the death rate per 100,000 people is 5,071.40
So basically by trying to pursue the life that you had in your younger years, you are not only endangering your own life, you are a hazard to those around you as your age increases. And I would say that this type of scale applies to numerous functions in daily life as one ages. Which is why as one age's they should accept other responsibilities. Not because they are less valued but because it makes economic along with health sense.
"Getting Angry" about your age and position in community is neither a wise or sensible thing to do, and again, seem's to show a diminished mental capacity rather than accomplished. However a youth that does not respect the accomplishments of the elderly is neither a positive position to assume. Basically there needs to be a duel respect no matter what end of the age spectrum. And that's all I'm saying on the matter.

Oh yeah....and I really wish those people that go on about the fact that I cross dress would mind their own business, fact is, I'm 175 cm, well at least last time I checked, and unless I buy something that ends up being too small for my size, men's fashion is the best fit for my height...and these day's I have to be more practical....you know something that I can wear on a daily basis, instead of just once to a party... ....but on the odd occasion that I find something in woman's that I like I buy it. ....which reminds me I'm probably going on a diet...the other thing....because at the moment I spend most of my time stuck behind a computer...I wear gear that's comfortable for sitting ..there's nothing about being gay to it....it's just what I like wearing....of course hopefully when summer comes there will be some nice...wear to town fashion...but that's about it....and maybe if I can in between everything else....one day I might try finding some on stage clothes.....for a Lipcrack performance....but most likely it will be jean's, a t-shirt and sneakers...
I'm afraid...I'm not the little dolly that you can dress up in mini's....and hope sex sell's...I am trying for something a bit better than that.

So....finished setting up the scene....did actual get a render done....but it jumped....so it's going to have to be done again...which is a bit of a pain....but not so bad considering the time that goes into figuring out exactly what you're going to do....I mean that probably accounts for about 40% of the production time....just figuring out...how to make an animation work with in the scene. ....anything after that is pretty much like those stacks of house cards....one wrong move...and you have to start all over again...blah...blah...
My gum's are still playing up...I though a dose of Vitamin C might help....I don't get enough Vitamin C ...but thankfully only a couple of day's away from progressing on that...I hope they get rid of it all...whatever it is....because it's totally pissing me off....you know...nothing else wrong with the body....of course you never know like anyone...there could be some mutating cell in one of my organ's...but the fact is....it feel's like....what I can't see won't hurt me....fact is...I can see this shitty gum shit....and it's making my brain stress out...actually ....you know if I had to do a terror screen in a movie...I would just recall how I'm feeling now....you know....picture myself in one of those huge dental chairs.....arm's flying everywhere....doctors in their lab coats standing round...."cut it out .."...."cut it out ... "....before I flip out...guess that should go in the Oral Hygiene song....lol...cut it out...cut it out...before I flip it out...
but you know if that picture is right...well it's just a bit of plaque below the gum line....but still it's stressing me...
So I am stressing a bit....mind you of course....I guess if someone had a look at it....they'd say whatever it is....it's not so bad....but I am pretty particular about my health....so like I said....it's pissing me off....and the fact that I can actually feel the noring away....you know like little fucking worms... it's a total mental turn off.
Anyway that's news....I'm going to bed.....there is another 10 new cell renders....which have been going pretty well lately...bye for now.
