I think I'll lay down for a bit and not put caffeine in my body.
Just woke up from my second nap today!
**** trying to call me in on my days off. I don't work when I'm not scheduled.
There's a lot of that going around.

I didn't, but then when I think about it, for some time in my youth, I never thought much about the future, only about what I was doing right then and there......the furthest I got in my thoughts in the future was what I was going to do on Friday night
Speaking about the past.... nostalgia time for some - smoking, bringing goodies to class, running wild and so forth. Here's 2
2. "I'm 83, and schools are so different nowadays. Before, we could go in and out of school, as could our parents. We could share food and bring whatever with us. My friends and I could go off anywhere, and as long as we were back in time for class, no one really gave a hoot. Now, my seven-year-old granddaughter can't even bring homemade cupcakes to share with her friends in class, and my teenage grandson has to go through a security checkpoint. I tried telling him what it was like back in our day, and it's sad he didn't believe me."
21.Lastly: "We would always play outside, even if it was dark. We had no worries playing late outside. Our doors were never locked or closed at night, and we'd play hopscotch, marbles, and jacks. When we were thirsty, we'd drink water from the garden hose, and it'd be the best-tasting water ever — especially on a hot summer day. My grandmother had a little mom-and-pop market. I would always walk from my grandma's house to this market to buy my favorite bubblegum grape-flavored and an ice cream bullet. I think I paid 50 cents for both at the time. Those were the days!"

Older Adults Share The Unique Experiences From The Past That Have Ceased To Exist Over Time
"I even remember the old cigarette vending machines that were at bus stops and stuff. We were told smoking was bad for us, but literally anyone, at any age, could get cigarettes."

I would strongly recommend trying to help him in self employment over either of those.

At 21 I had crap "friends" so nothing special happened (not even a trip to the bar) (one good friend, but she's a couple years younger than me).

Other than being a preacher I didn't really expect anything. I'm still trying to figure out what I really want to do with the rest of my life.
I know personally that can go on for decades.
The most strong and stable interest Ares has shown in any career/life path is he wants to be a landlord.
I plan on surviving until that isn't possible anymore, and then I won't.
When I was in my early 20s, I had the feeling that I would get into the education industry and become a professor, but I was reluctant to do so because of the financial cost to obtain a degree. Later, while I was an adherent of the Christian tradition, I wanted to get into theology school, but I needed a bachelor’s degree first. So, I researched universities and found a great one that offers many online learning programs.
As I worked on my bachelor’s degree, I was expecting to be in theology school soon somewhere in either Iowa or Pennsylvania in order to obtain a Master of Divinity. After an online interview, I was turned down and felt insulted because of what some of the interviewers told me. Soon, I realized that I was aiming for an MDiv degree for the wrong reason: to remain committed to the religion.
After graduating with a BA with high honors, I became a substitute teacher with a nearby public school district. As I worked on a program to help me become a public school teacher, I looked into teaching abroad in Asia. Soon, I was hired by an academy in Korea and was on a plane.
At this time, I am in my third year of teaching in Korea. The education industry will very likely be my industry until retirement. (For all I know though, I might be the owner of a cleaning/tailoring store in Oregon in 20 years.) Throughout my 20s, I did not exactly expect this kind of life. Before I was 22, I had absolutely no desire to be any type of educator. Schools were institutions that I did not want to walk into again.
You are an optimist...

Yeah... I probably won't make it that long.
