A few weeks ago, we had to lay 3 people off due to budget cuts. Can you imagine being middle-aged, thinking everything is just fine and then being laid off? These people have mortgages, car payments, kids, bills..that has to suck sooo bad.
And then just last week, someone came in to change his medical benefits. He was getting divorced after 20 some odd years of marriage. I just broke up with a girl after 5 years of dating and I think it’s bad, think about that guy! 55 and single? I mean they spend half their lives learning about each other. Talk about a bad investment.
And lastly, on the news a few nights ago was a local couple who were killed on their motorcycle.. (Probably by some old palm beach lady who couldn’t see over the hood of her Cadillac.)
All 3 stories have been occupying my thoughts the last few days.
In general, life can flip you over and ass fuck you outta no where. You have to be prepared and be able to roll with it. If you lose your job, you should have a few months saved up to get you by. I don’t really know how I feel about the second story quite yet. I think it might go something like- don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Everyone gets divorced these days and stats show you will too. And as far as dying on a motorcycle..well if that happened to me, I just hope that I had an awesome life. I would be pissed if I spent 20 years in school just to die.
Time is the most important thing we have. You think the divorced guy or the motorcycle people give a fuck about money? (I mean the couple is dead but ya know). Money in the bank, fancy clothes in the closet, prada bags, rolexs and Jags don’t mean shit. All the dead people have is the time they had on the earth. Hopefully they enjoyed it.
Although I’m upset that things didn’t work out with my ex, I do see some positives. For one, it could have been 20 years instead of 5 and secondly, it gives me the absolute freedom to go out and do whatever the fuck I want.
As my friend mike reminded me, I’ve had two girlfriends since I was 10. Since noticing my penis, I’ve literally never been single. So now, I can actually see what its like.
