Living till 100

I think I have a pretty unique concept when it comes to getting older.
I've kept wanting to grow up; I guess I've just always loved to learn.

My grandfather raised me to be confident and happy.
My mother taught me how to be patient and kind (though she probably won't agree with the patience bit) and my grandma taught me so many things about cooking and remedy that I will cherish forever.

We are who we've become because of these people and their lessons.

First I wanted to be a dancer. Then a martial artist. Then an artist, working in clothing design and customization. After this I thought about what I really enjoy doing; reading, writing, talking, among other things. I love story-telling and creating things for people to relate to and learn from. Current events, news and information are things I've been passionate about and I continue to expand these views. And so I took Broadcasting.

Now if I could choose an occupation it would be: Professional Learner.

Living in our society we are faced with a plethora of information in the form of articles, blogs, reviews, notifications and video. And because of the worldwide information directory known as, Google - we can receive answers instantly. We place orders that will come right to our door. We reconnect with people we knew in junior high school. We enroll in courses and educate ourselves on numerous topics. We live with all of these things in our purse or back pocket today.

I wish I could live to be 100.
I doubt I'll make it to that age with all the hormones they inject into our produce.
People used to live for hundreds of years; remember Moses? Me neither, but I know he got real old.
Wouldn't it be amazing to live that long? Most people I ask say, no.

Excuse Me?
How could you not want to live that long?

Give me one good reason - other than if you were unable to perform daily functions like going to the washroom and brushing your teeth, etc. why you would prefer not to live 100 years.
