It has been a while
Here we are with another year winding down. I think I am in the depths of adulthood now, what with treating my high blood pressure, spending most of my time working and commuting, and trying to "get ahead" as I support my family. Ten years ago I was full of youth and lust for the world, wanting to make a big splash and looking to the future.
I do not look to the future much anymore because I dread the time of my body breaking down and all the struggles that will bring. At this stage in my life I seek out all that comforts me: spending time with my wife and children, enjoying the things that taste good, listening to good music, watching beautiful images, and staying warm when it is cold and cool when it is hot. Those are my chief concerns now. I have little interest in changing the world or getting involved in other people's affairs or trying to make it in some sense. I enjoy the company of friends and good people, but want to avoid the bulk of humanity for the most part. I am afraid of the stupid things of which humanity is capable. I like to keep things as simple as possible.
