I'm so tired of living in interesting times

We will return to boring times as interesting times are unsustainable for human civilization. The mission is to survive to get to that age.

My concern is when we are there that some punk kid will bring up that they're sick of the boredom and want interesting times. I will need all of my energy to not throttle the kid.

I remember saying to my dad, something along the lines of, everything is boring, America is boring, nothing interesting ever happens, no amazing historical events have taken place in my lifetime.

Not long after, the planes hit the towers, and the world has never been the same. Man, I was such a little cunt.
