Not in any type of advanced Stephen Hawkins way, no I am humble enough to know I am nowhere, no check that, anywhere near or ever close to being that intelligent. No, I was thinking about how I feel I am on a revolving hamster wheel of time. Days keep repeating, I feel like at times that weeks just slip by. Bam. It's Monday. Get up at 4:40am, get ready, drive to train, sit on train, walk to work, work, walk to train, take train home, drive home, eat dinner, wash dished, watch tv, do some stuff on sdf, sleep, repeat. It starts to become crushing whenever I think that while yes I have already worked 27 years since college that I still have another 15-17 years until I can realistically retire. Can I go another 15? I make decent money, but this wheel of time is crushing me. Does anyone else feel this way? It leads me to start daydreaming about living in a cabin in the woods with no electricity or electronics. I feel a longing for it. Why? I don't know if I'll ever know the answer. -Snowcrash ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
