settle down?
I saw a headline on MSN telling women how to find out if "he is ready to settle down." Settle down? What and have a job, kids, mortgages and responsibilities? Be tied to people and debt and never able to just leave it all and go wherever? Fuck that. I already know and I'm sure most of you realize that I won't settle down. Ever. No buying a house for me. No property or fancy new cars. I hate debt. I hate strings and I especially despise the idea of knowing that what I am doing now is what I will be doing forever. That this is it, I'm done. To hell with that. We live to 80,90. Why settle down and grow old at 20 or 30? You go from being a child and living with your parents right into starting your own colony of progeny? No way. Live a little. Be free, move, go places. Too many people I know are stuck in jobs with bills and homes and other things locking them in place. They can't afford to up and leave and jet to India or even leave their city of a new one. They have no real freedom. And they may like it this way, but deep down we all want to be able to whatever we want. Maybe that's why I don't even pay my own rent or have anything major in my name. All I own is portable. All my links tenuous at best. I can move at a moments notice and all I need is my Internet connection to get me through the day.
