Now that we have both aged ourselves Welcome to The Philosophy Forum!
You are not by chance a blogger from Australia are you?

Nay Sir,
I'm too lazy and disorganised to be a 'blogger'. I'll confess to having never ever read a blog! I do live in Australia and I am a 51 year old that has made a career out of avoiding ever having a career! I have certainly served my penance in countless gulags being exploited in many different ways, and it grieveth my weary soul that I am expected to 'work' *sobs*.....I drive a taxi for a job. A despised occupation that enables me to dangle precariously near the bottom of the economic food chain.
Whilst ensconced in the confessional I'll get a few more dirty secrets off my chest...
*whispers warily* I have never been ambitious. I'd suggest that heretics from the Middle Ages would have endured less hostility than your correspondent on occasions when I've been unable to resist the temptation to infuriate a stentorian mob!
I have never comprehended rapacious materialism. I chose to reject all of that pointless striving and status seeking bullshit decades ago. Anything more than enough is too much, no?
I don't take anything too seriously, especially myself.
For a little while I studied ancient greek philosophy. I got bored. I went on a blitzkrieg through the nightclubs for a few years as I embraced hedonism and nihilism. That too became boring.
I ended up marrying an 'exotic dancer'. After 21 tumultuous years and 4 children we are still tenuously married.
I studied Religion and Philosophy for a couple of semesters before the boredom derailed me again....
I am a restless and mischievous child trapped in the expanding body of a 51 year old fool.
The more knowledge that i acquire the more i realise how little I know....
I hope that i haven't bored anybody into a coma....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
