I am an unmanned vehicle.
I thought for sure I'd be dead by 30. I was wrong, but that was largely just a lack of preparation on my part. For 40, I will be ready.
Or... something like that.
I wouldn't say that I was unprepared, so much as it's a lot more difficult to do in a pseudo-sly way. I would've expected that much abuse would've done it by now, but apparently I'm not trying hard enough.
But, as they say, if at first you don't succumb...

But I'm not so worried about the temporary state of my mind; the notion that this is all played out, and that I've had enough, has been pretty consistent over the past years, so I remain comfortable that preparing is the correct thing to do.
Additionally, I do find that with regard to abuse, the Nietschian axiom holds true; the more damage you do, the more damage you can do.
When the time comes though, whoever and whatever; if I'm about, I'll be sure to buy a drink in your honor and throw it at the wall of a bar so the glass shatters and streaks down the wall.
It's only fitting.
