my sitcom will be based in a nursing home
a nursing home with old hippies in it
who are growing pot in one of the rooms
thats the extent of my witing these days
one or two sentences
one idea
i guess the words miss the booze
43 years old yesterday
a new frontier
a new year to waste
more precious time to waste
yeah the gift of life
i should be working
doing something
instead of collecting unemployment
as if working is not a bigger waste of your life
i breathe the sweet air of freedom
for two more months
before i have to sell out my soul to the man again
for filthy filthy lucre
cleanig my ass and armpits for a pittance
maybe even tieing on a tie
oh the wonders ill see in the working world
i think thats a line from a doctor seuss book
maybe the title
"the things you'll see"
i need to rewrite it and make it about work
and modern times
a book about work for kids
to really scare them
give them a preview of their life
with modern nutrition and medicines combining to keep people alive longer
the retirement age will be 90 soon
25 years in the workforce made sense when everyone had heart attacks at 60 and died
now we survive them
so you better line up that walmart job pappy
better find something you dont mind doing for fifty more years
