Waikiki Update - 2

The decision to move to the “old folks home” in Waikiki has now been conclusively established as a major failure. Waikiki has degenerated into an even more horrid form of grotesquerie than it was several years ago. Of course, there is no place on the entire island that has actually improved.

Mausoleum

The “old folks home” in Waikiki is ... well, an “old folks home.” It is a mausoleum containing people who are barely alive. The rented unit in the new tower is, as expected, new. The entire unit is fairly pristine but severely underutilized by the current tenant. None of the appliances are being used. The closet and cabinets are empty. All of the tenant’s belongings are on the floor next to the only closet. The air bed and dilapidated sheets are the same ones inherited from the Sand Island homeless shelter. The entire unit is kept meticulously clean.

There will be no attempt to add any “creature comforts” to the spartan mausoleum. Why bother? There really is no need to make the mausoleum more habitable. During the era of wage slavery and a brief indoctrination into the “ownership society,” an attempt was made to create a domicile, a self-contained mausoleum. In retrospect, the creation was, in effect, a prison cell. There is no reason to “stay at home.” Laying around, watching the tube, eating junk food, and consuming cheap booze is utter foolishness.

There was an attempt to placate the “soul,” as it were, utilizing the iPhone XR. A streaming music account was created and several music channels were added. Very boring. Mummified! The free streaming flicks site on the Net was sampled. Flicks were ancient. Very mundane. Mummified! So, RT News is now the sole source of streaming content. Sheesh!

Typical Waikiki Hotties

Of course, Waikiki is a place for young and affluent. Lots of young hotties are running amuck. An old codger with an atrophying Vienna Sausage has no interest in babes, young or old, and vice versa. Yet, the “old folks home” is a somewhat premature step in the current timeline toward death. Overpriced rental units are for the younger crowd. An old codger just needs a homeless motorhome, a cargo van camper conversion. Nothing more, nothing less.

Addendum: There has been no attempt at an evening excursion to Waikiki Beach. The weather and ambient temperature have not been agreeable as of late. No doubt, though, the beach has most likely degenerated into another horrid form of grotesquerie.

Update: Divestiture of useless junk continues unabated. The “stuff” pictured at the beginning of this Note will be minimized in anticipation of motorhomelessness.
