Life-style changes are no longer a consideration given the precarious state-of-affairs. Indeed, upgrading personal life-style at such an advanced age is ludicrous. The last of the “good years” reinforces that argument. Thus, the mendicant monk life-style will continue indefinitely.
As previously established in Notes, the need to save money is foolish. However, at this point in time, the sole purpose of frugality is to marginally increase personal assets in preparation for the possible purchase of a cargo van (read: homeless motorhome), that is, if residency options are forcibly narrowed down to the latter. Frankly, with the cost of shabby rental housing being exorbitant, there will be no other choice.
Residing in Waikiki in the “old folks home” mausoleum has become untenable. In addition, Waikiki, the sickening haven of gaudy trash, has become intolerable at best. No surprise, eh? The surrogate “living room” at the International Marketplace is now totally rote. There’s only limited pleasure that can derived from sitting and utilizing the free wireless hotspot with the iPhone XR every evening.
Commuting to and from Waikiki on the bus is also a nightmare. So much time is wasted on the commutes that life seems to be passing by too quickly. Not to mention the troglodytes who comprise the ridership. And, Ala Moana Center is also rapidly losing its favor, whatever was left. Well, that’s what happens when the whole island is converted into one big shopping mall.
The Net has already been determined to be laborious. Currently, any expendable on-line accounts are being closed or mummified. The list of acceptable Web sites has been whittled down to nearly nothing. All “propaganda bullhorns” of empire have also been blacklisted. And, what about the change to a frugal wireless plan? Still “up in the air.”
There is a renewed desire to seek seclusion, a state of being that was highlighted in the legacy journal. The decadence of a collapsing society amidst the failed “civilization” paradigm has spawned the urge to flee to isolated obscurity. When the “shit hits the fan,” as it definitely will, no one would want to be in the center of the ensuing chaos.
Addendum: The $30 per month T-Mobile® prepaid wireless plan (100 talk minutes, unlimited text messages, unlimited data with 5GBytes 4G LTE) apparently has both Binge On® and Music Freedom® features (unlimited SD video and music streaming using certain “apps” or Web sites) which actually makes it a good deal.
Update: The recertification for the “old folks home” in Waikiki has commenced. There are three months allotted for submission of the required personal financial documentation. There are no plans to participate in the process. The lease expiry, though, has been confirmed to be October 31st.
