nice one monster

in the months just before i 'was' 27, i just lost a stepson and a wife, i've already lost all financial assests and property (except clothes) when earlier i failed making a startup and just finished getting out of debt at 25, i had no college or professional degree, i had a two year hole in my resume as a stay at home dad, i was giving private lessons in english to scrap some money (with only 4 students for now) and trying to get articles published, i was sending resume's everywhere & applying for a gun license to be a security guard in case i don't find anything better, i was back at my mother's house, using my sister's computer while she's at boarding school, which isn't really powerful enough to run my hobby (gaming)... i had short hair for the first time since the army, starting to get to lazy too pull the gray hairs out, and was generally depressed to the point where getting up to shave and shower seemed like a massive achievement.

there will probably be no PhDs when i am actually 27, but getting back on my feet with a job and an apt, my own computer and mobile, maybe even some furniture, not to mention the abscure possibility of getting paid on the side for something i actually enjoy (writing) and being able to afford getting out and buying a rebound-oppertunity who i will probably only find attractive by virtue of not having the personality traits i hated in my xwife... i mean some nice interesting woman a drink or two...

those would be decent 'achievements' for when i am 27 from where i am standing right now.
