    Overgeneralization. But it just seems to me that most people are down to just:

    -go to work most waking hours and do some mundane sht for a multinational corp
    -work out a little
    -watch their tv/netflix and talk about this AMAZING NEW SEASON OF _____
    -consume most mass media (wow this new song from Ariana ft. Jay Z is so incredible!)
    -have a few drinks and talk about sports (wow this guy scored a touchdown! yeah but did you hear that this team won?!)
    -go on a dumb vacation twice a year where they learn little about themselves or the world (me and michelle went to this beach and laid on it and drank appletinis! and the one day i got too drunk lol teehee!)

    They repeat this for 8-10 years and then find some other normie to mate with and have a few kids. Then those "kid rearing" years after I can't blame them as much, because that's not all that bad.

    They never took a risk to just see what's on the other side of life.

    I know this is really negative but it just seems so lame. I don't want to associate with these types of peeps. I can't hold a conversation with them anymore. I don't want to wear another guy's name on my back and go to a bar and pay $8 for 16oz of fermented bread.

    I wouldnt think that ANYONE 25 miles into a marathon would be particularly energetic or exciting (barring elites in occasional intense races)

    Too true. Maybe I’m afraid that deep down I’m one of them too.

    Lol never took a chance. Have you ever talked to one of these pathetic folks?

    Give you an example:

    I work with a guy that seems pretty mellow and just a hamster on the wheel. Few folks know that he was a navy seal for a few years after a significant and brutal loss in his life and then later was a body guard for the president. He's done all sorts of crazy stuff. Was really on the wild side for a long time. Now he has a kid that runs in hs and I see him at many of the meets. He carries his camera and takes pics. He's pretty fat. He's always smiling though. Most think he's just the typical corporate miserable person that stays home and surfs the web or watches TV. Are they right? Nope, there is much more to it than that. He learned what was important and to him it's family and helping other people. He makes people laugh at work and he's the guy that helps everyone out when it's needed.

    I'm lucky. I know the guy since he grew up in my town. I know some of what he went through and some of what happened although some may just be rumors. You never know, you just never know.

    People don't start being boring a few years after college. A lot of people do this in college, if you replace class for MNC and study abroad for dumb vacation.

    People are lame because social media is everywhere. You can get recorded or your picture uploaded. I was browsing my email and there was this "reputation service" that checks everything about you and gives you your reputation score. It's like reputation and our "brand" is everything since all of our info is on social media. You even need a FB for LinkedIn.

    Don't worry about the lame people. Worry about people like me.

    I haven't given an update on my FB for 2+ years and my profile picture is years old. What am I up to? What am I doing? No one cares since I'm an ugly boi.

    But if I was handsome? People be wonderin'...

    Anyways, social media ain't the life for me.

    I would way rather hang out with them than hang out with you.

    You think other people are boring, oh wow doesn’t that make you so exciting and cool!

    If you actually were exciting and cool you would be doing exciting and cool things, not making bullshit woe-is-me, people-suck posts on an online forum

    Maybe you should become a rock star. You're not too old and you don't need any talent.

    You sound like someone who is single and can't find a date. Expecting people to constantly live like they are in college is unrealistic when people have real responsibilities to procreate and nurture the next generation. Trying to have fun and then maybe pop out a kid when you are 40 carries great risks and is not in synch with your evolution (we evolved to have kids much younger). If you plan on staying single and want some excitement in your life, go join the coast guard or peace corps. It's not very difficult to take care of one person. The reality of why people get lame after college is they are getting ready for the stage in their life where they will no longer just be responsible for themselves.

    Most young people are lame too. Just because you get wasted and are naive/cocky doesn't make you interesting. I find creative artistic and musically talented people interesting.

    People get stuck in ruts and lose their zest for life. Can happen at any age and often begins in middle/high school when the whole peer pressure thing starts. The most interesting adults tend to be the ones who bucked the norms and did their own thing irrespective of what the trends were in the day. And drugs turn you into a zombie at an early age. No thinking there. Just dissociation.
