At least let me get a cool tech deck skatepark or something? Arthritis or dying? Seems unfair.

Some people die at 20 and limp until 80

You never really get old. Your youth lives on in the memories of those you knew when you were young, like that guy I went to uni with who had two reefers for breakfast. Luke? Liam? It's not important. He's dead now.
