67 with only culture in the bank

4/7/57 birth brings me to this day

As a newly single man after 26 years of togetherness with the woman I loved who was medically murdered and whose family I detested for insisting upon it and finding it good, the life of one no longer 40 and broke but late 60’s and broke (eg no money to go to Europe, Hawaii, Vegas wherever) is greatly entertaining. I am contacted rather frequently on LinkedIn as a Crypto prospect. After the first two contacts I amused myself with the next 4 I simply told the women (amusing no men, quite amusing really since I always tell the Crypto gals outright how astonished I am that no Gay men want to help me get rich, introduce themselves by praising my LinkedIn profile) that not only was I not qualified to invest, but only 15 years ago was I qualified to invest. The crypto contacts are stunned. In the first place I am older. All older men of culture in San Francisco must be able to conjure 50K. Especially living on Nob Hill. No house, no condo, but truly once upon a time an “A” paper neighborhood. Now a B+. If only I had income I gladly would get out of the most depressing urban grid I think. Sick of my apartment, my neighbors, my neighborhood and even my San Francisco after the Pandemic I dream of Encinitas. Even Santa Barbara. And yes, straight no chaser I tell them this as well. I am bored. This entertains me. Insofar as I can tell the oldest Crypto contact contacting me was 40. The youngest about 32. A comic act. The crypto gals work hard for their money. Two are bankers. Two own businesses and the others exist in crypto trades. It does remind me of earlier gold rushes. Only one crypto investor who owns a failing wine business in NYC reasons that Crypto will crash, but, as long as the sun shines on it, she’s gonna get what’s hers.

But soft my readers as I also think on mass death. I am perplexed becauseI have read women are postponing marriage for career, many are also uninterested in Romance. Cue Madonna and being a material girl. But eligible affluent men give say a max of ten years also seem to be missing from the fishery.

Who dies from vaccine obedience and who said FU. I have no concern in regards to obedience. My closest friends save for maybe two conformed. Now they reap the harvest of being intellectually acute in making money but rather stupid in certain other respects outside of making money. I chose a different path to freedom. Intellectually acute in many other respects but quite dull in making money because my head and heart are not very Bourgeois. I reasoned that buying stuff to compensate for toil was stupid. Better to toil as little as possible and be free. So it goes. Unvaccinated I chirp about vaccine and mass death because well why not, I don’t give a damn, we are in the online cafe where everything is abstract and I entertain myself with truth. So far all crypto contacts are vaccinated and have zero belief in harm. And yet they are sick easily and make no connection at all. OR have close friends whose parents otherwise healthy get quite sick, but no, no it cannot be the vaccination. Of course my oldest friend who was a non-profit attorney argues against the vaccine inducing sickness and death (ignoring excess deaths) says it could be from many other pollutants but not the vaccine, so again I shrug. I am not in the business of conversion. I like people. I have no need to argue.
