JOHNNY'S GONNA DIE

Here are some interesting facts from actuarial tables prepared by the life insurance industry to predict mortality rates:

• Overweight people have a markedly lower suicide rate while underweight people generally lead longer lives.
• Being in a stable relationship is healthier than living alone.
• The wealthy live longer.
• Nearsighted people are unusually prone to anxiety.
• Severe drunkeness once a month doubles the risk of mortality.
• Those involved in kinky sex are more likely to die violently or to commit suicide.
• Fearful people are more likely to have blood-clotting problems.
• As for insurability, farmers, college professors and Anglican ministers are extremely good risks.

Just thought I'd share because I found these facts a bit weird, imagining that our health and life insurance premiums are based on shit like this... I've personally never been questioned when purchasing a policy if I am near-sighted, fearful, in a stable relationship OR a practitioner of any kind of sex, kinky or otherwise. Go figure.

I guess it's pretty obvious if you're still reading that I don't have a certain topic in mind today. Might be the beginning of a phase... I always worried this would happen, but never right after a short hiatus. If anything, I should be brimming with ideas to write aboot. The Dreaded Writer's Block! Dah- dah- dah Dum! Oh wait, you have to be an actual writer to suffer from a writer's scourge. Phew! That was a close one.

You know what I'm going to blame it on? The Moon and it's tidal influences on my body. For the past three nights, the Moon has been huge and following me around. There can't be a full moon three nights in a row, can there? Sure looked like it.

So anyway, leave me a note and tell me what might be interesting. No Way am I going to ask you to ask me questions. Only two people last time wanted to know anything aboot me at all and that was humiliating. And tell me the music you're listening to lately. I'm going to do a music post but my music tends toward the un-mainstream and I don't want to bore y'all.

I'm outta here. Have a good day :-)
