that's cute

i cannot wait to get old and retire (though, i feel that the former already holds true). this will probably happen at the expense of young-me having lived a life of destitution and boredom, but let's be honest - what millenial won't?

in any case, it should be extremely satisfying to have retired at, say 55, and sit upon the amassed finances of my current self, perhaps not amounting to enough to buy a mansion or a single flying fsck to give at that point, but hopefully enough to fly around the world and visit all the sights, cultures, people, historic places, artsy-fartsy stuff that i want before settling down to retire in a peaceful, out-of-the-way apartment and live away my life playing video games and reading novels. i believe that at the point i will have spent most of my finances and will have to resort to the local library, or if i have purchased a kindle by then, maybe buy digital books en masse, which i assume might be cheap?

and, of course, the thing i will look forward to most is when everything that i am criticised of at this moment magically becomes endearing in my old age. misanthropy? aww, that cute old man who keeps to himself down the street. he's probably just lonely, poor thing. frugality? that man is so wise to live a moderate life at his age. reticence? again, wild old guy who probably has the experience of ages (ha! you wish). being a creep and boob-touching flirting with girls 40 years younger? old guy who's just being friendly and probably misses his dead wife (1. i definitely won't be married 2. schit, this only works if you're good looking. ok, maybe it won't all be cute or even acceptable).

and not having to work... man, i cannot believe how naive i was to have finished my studies and hoped to get into the work-force to change the world. change. the. world. holy crap, how was i ever that gullible. mate, you just want to have a job so you can put food on the table, then go home and pay your internet bills. seriously, your working weekends or after hours isn't going to change jack. maybe consider getting a hobby or masturbating less.

anyway, old age, come for me soon. your humble servant awaits!
