It won’t be long now till my thirties are in my rear view mirror, well if I had one – June 2019 to be precise. I remember when I was younger it was inconceivable for me to reach such an age but I guess I better start getting used to the idea now!
It is a strange experience though. For most people they slow down as they age and are no longer able to do things they used to. But the technology I rely on is constantly improving. For instance, the wheelchair I have now is able to go at least twice as far as the one I had ten years ago. I no longer have to constantly check my power gauge to see if I’m going to run out of power.
It’s also faster so I have to wait for people rather than the other way round. In may ways life has never been so good and may get better still. Imagine how far I’ll be able to go in my eighties. Maybe walking is an evolutionary dead end!
Of course there are some drawbacks – my thinning hair and my touch of grey facial hair. But maybe that will just help me get promoted. After all life has always been good for bald, old white guys.
But this approaching birthday does remind me of my mortality or at least, the need to download my consciousness onto the web for quasi everlasting life lol
At least with each passing year I learn new things, like just today I learned that I could add new pages to my blog, rather than having just one extemely long page. I’m so intelligent. Not sure if it’s of much use though.
So what are my plans for the rest of my life, your probably not wondering but I’ll tell you anyway. It’s quite simple – I’m going to take over the world…
(Don’t forget my books are for sale on Amazon)
