July 11th to July 18th

Biological Functions I Could Do Without:

Eating - I believe I have already covered this.

Urinating - Another interruption in my day I could do without.

Defecating - Especially unpleasant when things go wrong.  Never do I feel so biological.

Sleeping - 8 to 10 hours of my already too-short life stolen everyday.  If my dreams were all about beautiful women and super-human powers, I wouldn't complain, but they usually don't make sense.   Something about a monkey.  And my homework.  I dunno.

Sweating - The body's ineffective way of trying to cool off.  I appreciate the help, but covering me in sticky, smelly fluid is assistance I can do without.  I'd rather have a heat stroke.  I'll wake up when it's cooler.  It's best not to remember sweat glands are part of the excretory system.

Aging - Now that I'm grown up, I'd like to stop.  Why can't I eat whatever I want anymore?  Is that a wrinkle?  Is my hair getting thinner?  Why do cuts take ages to heal?  What the hell are those youngsters talking about?  In my day...

Dying - I haven't experienced this one yet, but I'm sure it will be my least favorite.
