As I gaze into my future, I'm afraid it might look too similar to my present.
As of now, I work full days. I get to my desk at around 8:30 am and stay there to about 6:15 pm. Work is often interesting, annoying, challenging and tiring. After making/ordering and eating dinner, then walking the dog, I often log back in to work for a quick 30 minutes of home-work. And there goes my weekdays.
I suppose this could continue for 30 more years or so, and then I could retire.
While I'm grateful to have a good paying job that I enjoy for the most part, it would be lazy of me to just accept that state. And it is that lazy desire in me, that searches for the answer to this question, "What should I do now so that I can be truly lazy in the future?" Can I somehow do 20 years of work, that will amount to 30 years of pay?

This is a microblogging tool. People post messages that are no longer than 140 characters long and subscribe to others messages. People often use an abbreviated type of language in order to post messages quickly and succinctly. Twitter messages, tweets, are ill-formed, grammatically incoherent, and shallow.

30.5
I have just passed my half-birthdate, which makes me 30.5 years old. For the sake of posterity, I'll list some status updates.
My body can handle about 1 basketball game per week (in my 20s I remember playing at least once every other day or more). My hair is beginning to thin. I am not sure if this is merely psychological. After I saw my older brother's hair begin to recede, I often look at my own with an impending doom.
At work, I am getting an upgrade from junior to senior developer. I am working full days, and about 2-3 days per week I log in from home to work more. I still have the feeling that I have to prove myself as a productive worker, and I'm driven by fear somewhat to not be exposed as a hack.
I walk my dog about 4 out of 5 days per weekday.
I haven't been to church in about 4 years.
I am learning on ruby on rails. I want to eventually build a long-lasting site that will chronicle my life better.
My wife is beautiful. She pushes me to travel, which I oppose. She's brought me to Korea, Puerto Rico, Munich, Salzburg, Vienna, Prague, Seattle, Vancouver, San Francisco, and Mexico. I think she has plans for Paris and Barcelona. Since I'm a home-body, this makes me tired, but I'm very thankful for her dragging me along.
