Default Life cycle of a Photographer

I think the life cycle is all backwards.

You should start out dead; just get it right out of the way.

You wake up in a senior care facility and start feeling better
every day.

You get kicked out of there for being too healthy, go collect
your pension, then, when you start work, you get a gold watch on your
first day.

You work 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your
retirement.

You drink alcohol, you party, you're "generally" promiscuous and
you get ready for High School.

After High School, you go to primary school, you become a kid,
you play or nap all day, you have no responsibilities.

You become a baby with no cares whatsoever.

Then, you spend your last 9 months floating peacefully with
luxuries like central heating, spa treatments, room service on tap,
larger living quarters everyday...and then...

you finish off as an orgasm!

It would have to be better that way ...

because getting old .. just plain sucks.

And just precipitated this commentary?
I'm not sure either way is preferrable.
Either way you end up not existing...

Uh, just one question though: If you go
in reverse and collect your pension first,
why on earth would you then keep your job
and go to work?

You can start this trend by becoming an astro-photographer.
Astronomer's lives are backwards on a daily basis.
You wake up near sunset, have dinner, go to work,
have lunch (midnight), then have breakfast near sunrise,
and go to bed.

time )

That actually sounds fun considering the cool things you hopefully find,
see and take images of.

I've always loved this one which was written by Larry David for a Seinfeld
episode - originally George's wish for the way life should be.

Thanks for adding the attribute, where I originally
saw it there was none.

And perhaps cribbed for that from F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story, THE
CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON:
