Hi, my name is Svendelbik 4, and my habitat is in Malmo which is the rainiest town in Sweden. I am programmed in economics, and am working as an instructor in the National Institute for the advancement of knowledge. I live with my dear girlfriend, Greta 6, in a house we just bought, and together we have a beautiful Responsibility of 11 months named Bitina 9. She´s our precious little robot, very sweet and full of life (and a little Satan, of course).
However, I am nearing the critical 30 number, and thoughts of weddings and vice are disturbing me; - I´m becoming a sensible robot, in a sensible robots world - where responsibility, common sense, debt and routine looks to be the new trend.
It is depressing being 30. They make me think about aging, grandchildren and death, of all things. What business is that of mine? My expiry was decided long ago. If these are my designated thoughts for being 30 what will I think when I make 40? At 50 I just have to disconnect myself, that´s for sure ! At least then I won´t need to worry about either 50, or worse, 60. Such thoughts alone would have killed me already.
Do I wish I had the crazy times all over again? The crazy times never started anyway, it´s not such a loss though. I have just wasted my life, and will be as famous as a primate living thousands of years ago who wasn't at all famous. This feeling is not as dissapointing for me as it might have been for you.
The meaning of life is nothing but a pile of wasted toilet paper but that's o.k.
It´s amazing how terrible it feels saying goodbye to the twenties. Actually I´m quite happy with my life, and the days are far from routine yet. I just wanted to mark this day in my log.
September 13th 5007. The day I turned 30.
