I was having this discussion the other day about my 3 month old nephew....what kind of world will he grow up in? What kind of country will this be in 40 years, how about the environment? How does one remain optimistic with a newborn baby in the year 2005?
He'll be tottally liberated... He'll Understand the world around him much better then you could. Racism will be almost dead in most places by the time he's in high school. He'll be able to install you're new 70'' High Definition tv with sorround sound for you. The enviorment will be exactly the same. He'll run up huge bills buying crap off the internet 2.0. He'll end up married to the Nepalese girl who they outsourced his paper route to. Traffic will still suck. He'll vote Republican after the Democratic party is changed to terrorist party in 2007. He'll get disillusioned and drive his folkswagon around the country listening to phish... getting 70 miles a gallon. He'll invent some kind of bullshit x-ray sheild around computer monitors... the scam will eventually fail, but he'll make it out with millions. He'll have gone to high school with the first guy to land on Mars... damn he drank a lot back then. He's a lucky kid monster.
damn, now I see that I was born way too son......althohgh I still have time to steal his bullshit x-ray sheild because the little guy can't even read (and believe me I make fun of him for it) If he listens to phish he won't be inheriting any money (or debt) from me.
It's hard to, all one can do is do their best at raising the child and make sure he's turns out to be educated, well cultured and well mannered and not some dumb ass, cheeky couch potato like so many of todays youth.
I'm going to make the little fucker play outside too, once he is a bit older...he will eat dirt, ride bikes, and play kick the can or ELSE!
I take it your not planning on having kids yourself then? I wouldn't mind one or two eventually, but there's plenty of time for that lark. I still have a few years of partying left in me yet.
I actually don't want kids at this point, i don't think. when I was 21 I had a daughter with my girlfirend and we put her up for open adoption. I see her from time to time and that may be good enough for me at this point. I may change my mind later, but right now I've still got a few years of partying left in me
