I miss being younger. I like thinking/feeling like a kid sometimes, letting the world open up in front of me and walking confidently into it. But the world has been shrinking ever since I passed the quarter-century marker on my mortal coil. In the high-school, work and dorm years I felt like I could fuck around because I was surrounded by people who were likewise naive and immature and comfortable with life (just not their place in it). But now we all feel self-imposed pressure to force serious and we can't even hide our apathy anymore. And we're always apathetic. Everyone is growing up or moving on or whatever but everyone seems to be getting more wound up and worn down as well. It's like we're marginalizing life in order to live. How the fuck can we be so miserable when we're so surrounded by wealth and good fortune?
That reminds me, I have a great business idea, a revolution in businessing: Life As A Service. Picture a service that bullshits on Facebook for you, lols on Twitter, answers your e-mails and connects by wifi to a module in your brain that can automatically detect when you give a fuck in the process of determining whether to inform you that a text message from that person you really wish the service hadn't given your digits to has been received. People will pledge loyalty to this marvelous new paradigm, and we'll break new ground and earn more money and fulfill all our ambitions and try our hardest to completely and utterly bury the kids we used to be until something in our collective minds fucking snaps and we revert to drooling, dawdling infants in a spectacle of cosmic karma; the price to pay for all our self-justified decadence.
