I kind of don&#8217;t like next in this world. One famous and probably most loved question is: &#8220;What&#8217;s next?&#8221; I mean, that question covers all gamuts does it not? It is the premier question of all history! What the hell is next? Next in line. For what is a person next in line for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is even a word that uses all but the &#8220;T&#8221; in next. Nexus. Think of the implication of nexus. If this happens this will happen and what if one doesn&#8217;t happen or, worse, one does happen? I spent three minutes thinking about nexus and found my self breaking out in a cold sweat. Don&#8217;t you hate that? It&#8217;s almost like a beer hangover. You sweat out all the suds you consumed the day before and not only was yesterday a &#8220;stupid&#8221; day drinking too much but the following day was the nexus of drinking too much the day before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know a bit about drinking too much. Damn near killed me in 2013. My nexus was with death. But, I persevered and here I am writing what seems to some like a nonsensical old fart complaining yet complain I do not. I just calls &#8217;em as I sees &#8217;em. That is the joy of being old. No, wait, there isn&#8217;t all that much joy in being old unless you make old joyful. I certainly can&#8217;t fight it nor would I as nobody knows what tomorrow will bring except a poorly thought out nexus.
