A New Me?

Apparently, all the cells in our body are replaced every seven years which means we are completely new people then we were seven years ago which made me wonder if i have changed since 2019 and i had a look through my blog posts from that year to see what i was banging on about back then and if I felt any differently now .
In 2019 we had plenty of posts about climate change but I have been on about that for decades so no surprise there as well as the awfulness of Capitalism and the even more awfulness of the diabolical actions from nation of Israel so they would always be getting a mention so no surprises there either.
Very much a 2019 thing was Boris Johnson who took it from both barrels all the way through the year as did Prince Andrew and Donald Trump who was just known as a moronic sex pest back then and not a probable pedophile also.  
Raging against War's and Inequality as well as Religion, America's gun laws after yet another mass shooting, the Royals and Brexit all got a mention as did Greta Thunberg who is thankfully still around so pretty much all the same things i go on about now so no real change from the 2019 version to today's so maybe if we go back 14 years, and two previous me's, we may find something.
Very much a 2012 thing mentioned a lot was the US Election and President Obama and the arrival of China's Xi Jinping, the death of Whitney Houston, David Cameron and his Government got a regular kicking as did Piers Morgan but running through 2012 were posts raging against Climate Change, American gun laws, Starbuck's tax avoidance, floods, the awfulness of Israel, Capitalism and the Afghan war so pretty much the names may have changed but what vexes me in 2026 was vexing me back then also.
So in conclusion, my body may have 30 to 37 trillion new cells since 2019 but each one picked up from the ones they replaced so nope, no changes to me but unfortunately, not many changes for the better in our World either, its just as bad and run by just as awful people as it was back then.

hmmmm.

in the past 50 years i:
> went from working for minimum wage as a roofer, to the strategist for a fortune 100 company.
> earned 4 college degrees, professional certifications from UT Austin, Stanford, Harvard, MIT, and Emory.
> credited as inventor on 112 patents (another is in the works) in the uspto.
> married to same smart, lovely woman for 40 years.
> did my part as father to raise 2 smart, independent your women.
> organized and operated 25 mission trips to re-roof and re-floor at least 200 homes for the needy.
> retired as a multi-millionaire.

i'd be embarrassed to say i still thought like that 17 year old roofer.

but i can see that you do still think like a 17 year old :-)

57 - 14 isn’t 17. Want to try the maths again?
