June 3 2026 Too Lazy
I've noticed as I get older that even the smallest things seem to require more of an effort. Did you ever wonder why your metabolism drops off the older you get? I've thought that it doesn't take as much nutrition to keep the body functioning, so as in the olden days when people didn't have pensions or rely on savings or government programs in their old age they had to work less in order to acquire enough food to survive. Plus extended families were the norm and it was expected that the children and the parents and the grandparents would all provide support for each other and this is still the case in many countries and cultures. In America we abandoned the idea of caring for our own and have relied on the government to provide food, shelter, and care for those who are elderly. Covid really showed the dangers of trusting in a heartless system. Didn't they snuff out more than a few elders using Covid as a cover for their murderous actions? I had lots of ideas what I planned on doing once I retired. I'm glad I didn't wait until I was retired to do some traveling. For the longer I've been retired the less I want to do. I'm like the guy in Office Space who said when asked what he would do if he didn't have to work: "nothing."
I believe I've reached that point in my life. I've been everywhere I want or need to go, I've done all I could do when I had the money and time and now I'm content to sit down, relax, and watch as the world slowly implodes. I mean as one man I can't honestly change the world. What I can hope to do by writing and expressing my views is maybe help one person or maybe a couple people. But change the world? Even Trump can't do that. Nothing is as much fun as it used to be. People used to be nice. Traveling was fun. Even flying was enjoyable and they fed you real food. Everything's just gotten worse over time. Traveling is a joke. Everything is getting to be more expensive. I've done my part in serving the consumer economy for long enough. I just want a good meal once in a while and to be left alone. The one good thing I can say about the modern world is that the internet has given me the freedom to express my opinions openly without having to stand up on a soapbox and yell into a megaphone. And when there's not a good game on, I can always play some video game. I used to think about getting a dog when I retired because I always had a dog as a kid and loved having a dog. But now, it would just be more work and it costs too much to feed and take care of a dog. I still want the freedom to leave the house for a week and not have to worry about an animal, if I do want to go somewhere. I guess Peter is my spirit guide to retirement. Even putting a worm on a hook seems like work to me now. I used to love to go fishing. Loved it. Now I'd rather buy frozen fishsticks at Walmart and put their mediocre tartar sauce on it and call it a day. Then I can sit down and relax some more. Besides isn't the ozone layer so depleted that the sun is dangerous now? Aren't chemtrails just poisoning the air? Why even leave the house? But in spite of it all I do love the outdoors. I wonder how much longer we'll be able to enjoy just taking a walk? That's why I say come quickly Lord Jesus and take me away. This country isn't the country I was programmed to believe it was and nothing like what I experienced growing up. I'm living on a different planet and it's getting hard to breath. I'm a pilgrim and a stranger passing through to a better world. If they think they're doing me a disservice by wanting to kill off all the useless eaters, think again. I'll have the last laugh. Because Jesus said, "Be of good cheer. I have overcome the world." I'll die with a smile on my face.
