On Being Old
It must be cool to be old. You go places and people look at you and think, “Wow that guy is old. Maybe I should go up to him and ask him if it gets any easier as you get older. Like, maybe at his age you don’t care as much, or you don’t have so many things to worry about. That is, unless you invested all your retirement money in dotcoms a few years ago, or your 401k bottomed out, or someone scammed you for all of your savings. If any of those things happened, then I’m sure you’d probably be so depressed you’d just want to kill yourself since you’re so old you don’t have time to save up more money for retirement. Man, that would suck. I bet being old sucks big time. I don’t ever wanna be old. Maybe I’ll just kill myself when I turn forty or something. Or, I’ll wait till my youngest child turns twenty-one and then off myself. That sounds like a plan. Man, old people rule.” That would be cool. Being old makes young people sad.
