I lead a very orderly life.
NOTE: Do not confuse “orderly” with “regimented.”
I get up when I want. Note here that I make appointments no earlier than eleven AM. And even that forces me to set my alarm clock. Curses.
I eat when I want.
I eat what I want. This includes salt, butter, and eggs fried in bacon grease.
I smoke a cigarette when I want. On this one, I want a lot.
I have a drink of hooch when I want.
Sometimes I kid myself into thinking I’m a writer. When I do, I do it when I want.
I go to bed when I want.
What’s the downside?
I’m an old man.
Even if I wanted a job, nobody would hire me.
Women aren’t standing in line to go out with me.
Nobody listens to me.
So, what am I telling you? I’m telling you not to wish your life away. I say that because, when you finally get what you want, you may be too old to really enjoy
