WHAT YOU TALKIN' BOUT WILLIS?

As your Captain, it's my responsibility to keep up and report out any and all things that will benefit my fellow man. Well as aI sift through my monthly collection of men's things, I often run into some things that I must share.

Here is a quote from Bruce Willis in March's Isssue of Men's Journal. It's insightful, inspirational and thoughtful, all at the same time. I wouldn't be your Captain if I didn't pass it on. Click the picure of Bruce, to go to the Men's Journal website, and click HERE to go to the online version of the article. I'm not sure if it's legal to post a portion without their permission but I ask for forgiveness as I have a duty to my readers.

Here is Bruce's last two responses from the full article that can be found HERE.

(P.S. I have provided 3 Four Links to the article source in the posting!)

How should a man’s mortality figure in to his everyday
life?
There is nothing to say about our own mortality except that you can
hurry it along a little bit. You have that option. You can drink every day of
your life. And take drugs every day of your life. I’d rather smell somebody else
smoking weed on the street than smoke weed myself anymore. Whenever I’m in the
company of someone who used to do this drug that makes you run off to the
bathroom to do it, I’m reminded of how often I get up to pee now. And I go, “Oh,
my God, I wonder if somebody thinks I’m doing blow in there.” Until you have
kids, you are not aware of your own mortality. They are little living calendars,
and you know that while time is passing for them, it’s passing for you. I wonder
whether science or medicine can get us to 100 in this lifetime. Because if I can
feel good at 100 as I feel now and still run, still work out, still eat, drink,
fuck — all the things that I am still capable of doing really well and enjoying
— then all bets are off. So just wash your hands three or four times a day, and
cough into the crook of your elbow instead of into your hands. Extending that
life span has to start somewhere. Also, I will do everything in my power to not
go under the knife. That way lies the acceleration of your death.

How does a man remind himself to live in the moment?

I’m glad we’re talkin’ about this. Embrace your death. Make friends with it. Know it’s out there. Tickle it under the chin, and just know that it’s coming. And not in a bad or morbid way — or an “Oh, God, I’m going to die someday” way — but use it as motivation. Use it as an impetus to get everything you want to do in this lifetime done before you die. I was raised in a generation that was saving money for a rainy day: “Don’t do anything too rash while you’re young; save it all for when you’re older.” Well, I think it’s rainin’ right now. I think live it up.

Now those are words to live by!

This is your Captain speaking. (Take Our Ball Back -
