It’s not my fault!

Two days ago our young friends (68-78 years old) asked me how I feel after 80. I answered that 80 is just four times 20 and that physical age does not matter. Then I remembered this post and decided to reblog it.

PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS

I did not plan to publish anything until 9.00 a.m. ET 10/07/2014.

However, I received an email from my friend in Hollywood (Fl) with the following profound statements (no idea if they are his own):

1. Death is the number 1 killer in the world.

2. Life is sexually transmitted.

3. Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

4. Men have two emotions: hungry and horny, and they can’t tell them apart. If you see a gleam in his eyes, make him a sandwich.

5. Give a person a fish and you feed him a day. Teach a person to use the Internet and he won’t bother you for weeks, months, maybe years.

6. Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in the hospital, dying of nothing.

7. All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

Dangerous paintings (part 2)

In the post DANGEROUS PAINTINGS (PART 1) I told you about an article by Pauline Larina.

She wrote in the article that American artist XYZ (I chose these letters instead of his real name because there are artists with the same name) blackmailed rich people by threats to write their portraits. People were afraid of him because many of his customers died after he made their portraits.

Pauline also mentioned ILYA REPIN, the famous Russian artist of the 19th century.

Soon after he finished portraits of composer Mussorgsky, surgeon Pirogov, politician Stolypin all of them died.

Writer Vsevolod Garshin jumped into the stairwell after Repin wrote a sketch of him for his famous painting “Ivan the Terrible kills his son”.

Repin asked many friends to pose in his another famous painting “Cossacks writing a letter to the Turkish Sultan”. Soon after the first exhibition of the painting  many of them died.

But it is not everything in the article. Larina mentions some other facts (if they are really facts) and tells how people tried to explain them. I’ll tell you about it in the “Dangerous paintings (part 3)”.

9. Life is like a jar of jalapeno peppers. What you do today might burn your ass tomorrow.

The email finished with the following words:

…and as someone
recently said to me:

“Don’t worry about old age; it doesn’t last that long”.

I found all statements very interesting and decided to share them with you.

Then I am going to sleep on them and see what I will think of them in the morning.

Please let me know if you disagree with any of the statements above.
