Admissions Day … another no-holiday holiday in Hawai’i … marks the acceptance of the islands into empire many, many moons ago. The entire sordid history, including the overthrow of the indigenous kingdom, was discussed in the old “blog,” so there’s no need to go on.
The routine remains the same, the primary focus of which is the daily workout at the gym. There’s just no telling when the “good years” are going to come to a close, but that time has got to be nearing. Everyone, acquaintance or otherwise, in this age group looks worn out, fatigued, overweight, and flabby with assorted skeletal deformations and asymmetric posture. Only one individual has refrained from letting himself go.
Nevertheless, the time is going to come when all efforts fail. The body will begin breaking down rapidly. From all indications, that point of no return will be circa 70 years of age, less than two years from now. Currently, the physique is nearly exactly the same as it was over 20 years ago. All that can be done for now is to “soldier on.”
Dysthymia, of course, is the real opposing force. The “existential vacuum” encompassing the senior citizen life-style causes complete demoralization. Senior citizens are simply waiting to die. And, so many of them are in such bad shape that their wait isn’t going to be too long.
On a side note, the iPhone 14 Pro is being released from sequestration. All of the intentionally disabled features (e.g., location services) are being restored. No one is tracking the foolish old codger owner. No one knows who he is, and no one cares. No one even knows the old fool’s phone number or e-mail address. Sheesh!
Then, there was the long diatribe about the pathetic iPhone 14 Pro battery health over the last two Notes posts. Who cares? The ridiculous part is that the iPhone 14 Pro is going to be replaced within three months anyway. What a maroon!
What should really be a priority is defeating the miserly ways. Most of the life savings needs to be spent within the next five years. Only a token amount of money must continue to be saved. The latter will be “stolen” by the healthcare industry anyway when geriatric health issues pop up. As stated many moons ago in the old “blog,” the goal is be flat broke when physical decrepitude is prominent, and subsequently become a ward of the state. Baha! Ha! Ha! Haaa!
Of course, senior citizens have nothing to spend money on … well, aside from lots of cheap booze. Many senior citizens love to go on those ridiculous luxury cruises. What a waste! Aside from the latter and former, there’s nothing else. Old codgers don’t need to spend money on accoutrements in a vain attempt to “hook up” with young hotties. Well, suggestions are always welcome.
