Time: the Ravager

It's often said, "With time comes wisdom," however with that wisdom also comes other less positive things such as winkles, weight gain, white hair, and random aches and pains in your back.


We nerds are not immune to the ravages of time. We may often look younger than we are b/c we avoid sunlight and the resulting skin damage, we make up for that in lack of physical exercise. What's the point of all this? The point is, don't date or try to date someone b/c they're the hottest thing ever. Looks will fade, and even with plastic surgery, they won't look right, so find someone with substance, like intelligence and personality b/c that lasts much longer. If you're looking for a long term relationship, remember what they look like at 20 or 30 or even 40 is not going to be what they look like at 50 and up. Make sure their personality is a worthwhile one.

So unless you're some crazy rich software executive who's going to trade in his trophy wife for a new model periodically (which does qualify you as a douche), find a wife worth sticking with and that you'll want to grow old with.

Thank you Adam Sandler

I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
All I wanna do is grow old with you.
I'll get your medicine when your tummy aches.
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks
Oh it could be so nice, growin old with you.
I'll miss you, kiss you, give you my coat when you are cold.
Need you, feed you, and even let you hold the remote control.
So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink
Put you to bed when you've had too much to drink.
Oh I could be the man who grows old with you.

I'll miss you, kiss you, take your shoes off and rub your feet.
Need you, feed you, and when we play checkers i'll let you cheat.
So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink
Put you to bed when you've had too much to drink.
Oh I could be the one who grows old with you.
I wanna grow old with you.
