So I've been pretty busy lately but I'll save you the long and boring details. So today I was at a coffee place waiting to meet someone for an interview. I couldn't help but over hear some people talking and this one girl said, "i'd like to be retired by the time i'm 27." I thought wow that is a difficult goal. Most people these days figure that they are just gonna work 'til death. Well, that is what I think.

Anyway, this got me thinking. What kind of job does one have to have in order to retire at 27? I looked over at here. I'm thinking she is probably already somewhere around 25. She didn't look like she was much of a professional. I'm baffled. What makes her think that this goal is even obtainable? I guess I can't stay it isn't a good goal, but why 27. Why not thirty? Actually, what the hell are you gonna do if you don't work? Are you gonna travel or go back to school for something else? What?

While this has been bugging me, so has something else. As I sat waiting at the coffee place, I saw a newspaper. I think it was the Arizona Republic. As I was looking through it, I came across the obituary pages. Now for some reason, I've always be drawn to Obits. I'm not sure what it is, but I like to read about these people I don't know. I like to see why they died. I think this is sick of me. Anyway, I usually check out the ages of the people and look to see what the cause of death was. I found it odd that the younger people deaths never stated a cause.

I can't image why you would leave out the cause of death unless the family is assamed of how this particular family member died. So first thing I think is suicide. Or maybe drugs. Or car accident, but car accident is just that accidental. I don't know. But it was also strange because, they would say. This day this person was called home by god or something similar. Anyway, this is kind of a morbid topic and I should probably get ready for bed soon. Laters.
