Well, it is that time of year again for me to ponder my age again... on the 11th this month I'll be turning 35, which means I have to start rounding up to being closer to 40 then to 30... Oh, I felt like making jokes about midlife crisis and stuff but then I noticed that I made exactly the same jokes last year. Whoops. I guess I'm getting forgetful in my old age :-P

Any big updates during the last year? Hm... Still the same job, still no wife or kids and stuff, still the same car, still the same flat,... (There's definitely more LEGO in it, though πŸ˜‰) My dad's sick but so far it's going okay and I'm not the kind of person to let that pull me down.

Oh, just thought of something random to share now that I wrote the a list containing "same job" and "no kids"... I like kids and kids like me and I work in IT which is nice but not very sociable... So I thought I'd look into doing some volunteer work... Not quite unsurprisingly walking into the place that manages volunteers around here as a single 34 year old male with no official qualifications in the childcare sector raises a few eyebrows... And I ended up with nice recommendations of places that needed someone to build their homepages and stuff πŸ™„ I guess I'll stick to playing with/babysitting the kids of my friends and family 😝

On to what you are probably here for, some GAs... Again, nothing fancy cause I'm lazy and cheap, but there should be some technically unbundled stuff in there... The rules are taken from my last few posts...


Just to clarify 'cause multiple people seem to have misunderstood/over-interpreted: The stuff about no family and my job not being social was not meant so say that I'm really looking for a family and blame my job or anything... I like my solitary lifestyle :) It was more related to the stereotypical stuff about getting older means thinking about stuff like that.

And while I it's nice that people praise me for being willing to volunteer, I must confess that I ended up doing nothing cause everything they actually offered felt like actual work and not the playful fun I was hoping for :-P


New update: I broke my laptop screen. Looks like I did something to crack it while it was in the bag. I don't really use it much and it is already quite a few years old but still it sucks. I mainly use it when I spent some time with my parents, that's also why I did not hang around that much this weekend. Everything else still works so I guess I'll just leave it at my parents full time, I pretty much use it only at my old desk there anyway, guess it'll just turn into a mediocre desktop pc :P

I failed to pass, but have a pre-birthday bump.
I'll be turning 35 in a few months and I still have all my childhood Legos. Haven't played with them for a long time, but I'm actually playing my first Lego series video game (first Lego Batman).
Fun fact: I also have a Deponia Steam profile background, Deponia FTW!

Happy early birthday! :D Man, that is an impressive collection of legos. Makes me miss putting those sets together.
I still believe that kids are one of those things where they're a lot of fun to play with for a while, but I definitely would not want one full-time. Especially now that my niece is in her teenage years. I love her to pieces, but my god she is like a bundle of crazy right now. I think I've made her upset more in the last couple months than I have in the entire rest of her life before that, lol. ^^;
Anyway, I hope your dad feels better, and I hope you have a lovely birthday! :)

Yeah, the putting together is the best part, that's what I enjoy most... As you can see most of them are at random places or on cheap plastic shelf meant for basements cause I never got into either playing with them or properly exhibiting them.

And also yeah, I don't know how much fun they would be full time... A lot of things that annoy people about kids I can deal with no problem, but thinking about how my nephews will be when they reach puberty? They are only, like, 6 & 8 and already they occasionally annoy me with their "I'm so cool" attitude :-P I'd take crying babies or needy kids any time of the day ;)

Stupid prejudices, children, esp. boys, need male role models just as well.

I think it's more about "old single dude want contact with kids", not gender ;P

They would surely accept male age 20 without problems.

There is bit of age difference between kids (so like 10 y/o ?) and someone at age of 35 :D

Probably true that 20 would be preferred... but i think it's not so much that the difference between a 35 yo and the kids is so much more then for a 20 year old, just that 20 sounds more like a good place to pick a direction for your life to go and that in turn sounds like a better motivation...

But then again, I have quite a few friends who became teachers and stuff, and when I hear how many rules they (esp the male ones) are given on what not to do and how not to act "just to be safe" maybe it's good that I did not get any official job like that...
