Man, I love Percocet and Vicodin too! Now what? Am I gonna use self-hypnosis for pain? Because of their effects on the liver? Do I really need a liver? Don't I have two of those?

My friend, Jessica says, "Dr. Oz says you can grow a new liver in 8 weeks, so what's the big deal?"

We really are close to that "Vanilla Sky" world where we can live forever and look like Tom Cruise!

I could stand a lil' Cruise DNA in my system, I've seen myself up close in a mirror, but I was referring to the mangled Tom from "Vanilla Sky."

We all are probably not the Billionaires we would have to be to afford what will be needed to live forever as in the article, but maybe when Obama get the Health Care situation settled...

My Elementary School Friend Lyn Sadler asked me, "Have you ever seen any interviews with Ray Kurzweil? The topic is extreme longevity. He is the cutting edge between sci-fi and a new reality. His book, "The Singularity is Near," is a hard read. He's a trip, a real "Vanilla Sky" kind of guy."

Oh yeah, two of his books are 12 feet away from me now. I dig him. I have to admit I started skimming on Singularity toward the end not because it was complex, but more because of the structure of the writing. I was reading it when my dad died.

This is a good series of videos if you haven't seen it.
