The next 2 decades
1 --- 2025 -- beginning in late March, the beginning of the learning initiative, with a relentless vigor and zeal, Philosophy in Ancient Greece being the prime focus or the main coarse, but with everything else within the ancient times and geographical place.
2 --- 2026 -- for each new year I must be re-reading a dozen or so from previous year(s).
3 --- 2027 -- living alone from here on (just a guess) slightly less learning time so I do what needs to be done, groceries and house maintenance etc. Cleaning up ongoing.
4 --- 2028 -- SW is bought by a group of Monks, everyone has to be obedient, and never type all in caps.
5 --- 2029 -- 1st person here gets a copy of The Iliad through my rambling posts that have gone on for close to 5 years at this point.
6 --- 2030 -- the whole world becomes one country and the new ruler wears an olive leaf in his hair, no one says anything, because the Monks hold the real power.
7 --- 2031 -- a sudden tidal wave of new complete editions of all the literature of the ancient world, including that which was said to be lost, it turns out to have been in a hotel in a suburban neighborhood near a Wendy's, I therefore keep going broke buying them.
8 --- 2032 -- Utopia established, I get refunds for all I bought last year and get the rest of the amazing publications right away, which are stored in small crystal tablet type things which never need to be charged and thrive only on the heartbeat of it's owner.
9 --- 2033 -- The Criterion Collection tries to tempt me to give up my studies by releasing all the lost silent films that were ever made, I fly into a rage and write a scathing diatribe against the company on SW which wins me instant fame, turning millions of cinephiles into classicists.
10 --- 2034 -- My fan breaks, and the stores are all out, the mice grow bigger, and their eyes are red glowing coals in the dark, but I laugh at them, empowered by knowing Ancient Greek and Roman history and customs like only 8,000 others in the Western hemisphere.
11 --- 2035 --- I take a year off from the studies and read 12 long running manga series, I weep when it's over, but glad deep down to read Plato for the 80th time.
12 --- 2034 -- I start seeing visions, those crystal tablet things caused it, my eyes, my eyes!! I chuck them, and dust off my old kindle, it's almost good enough.
13 --- 2035 -- a new model comes out which has a medical certificate, I get it, and breathe a sigh of relief that I can keep reading all of the once lost stuff.
14 --- 2036 -- I get a pet monkey who gets me my drinks and microwave meals, we get along smashingly.
15 --- 2037 -- My brother convinces me to live in a home, where I can get along better without needing to go out for stuff, these are the best years now, for I can read more.
16 --- 2038 -- The home decides that it is their policy to not have pets, so Hector has to go, I grow livid, and gather a resistance group with 30 like-minded senior citizens, we take over the home and place our own flag on the roof.
17 --- 2039 -- Barbara Walter's granddaughter makes a documentary of our home and has a segment on my Ancient Greco-Roman interests. Business people come over and tell me to write a book, I refuse, and they get all snarky and then I lunge at them and we hold them captive, the government surrounds the home with tanks, it's like Waco. But we win, because the World Antiquity Appreciation Society army, which has been silently growing in size and strength from 1954 comes to the rescue.
18 --- 2040 -- I get a toothache, and remember I need to get some dental work done, but ugh to spend any time not reading hurts way more than the dental surgery!!
19 --- 2041 -- Hector dies, we have a month long mourning ceremony, which is also a celebration, with authentic Hellenistic music band.
20 --- 2042 -- on one stormy night, after wrapping up a delightful comparative study of Heidegger's Presocratic lecture notes, I catch a chill, and fall upon the thickly carpeted floor, I breathe out the phrase, ahhh that was fun.
