I happened to see that an old friend from school and the nuclear plant days was in a store yesterday. Seen him quite a bit around here and in Västerås where he works. I never talk to him and his brother but I do talk to their dad at times and even bumped into their dad on a Finland cruise in 2012 cause their parents have a summer house near the russian border where they spend the entire summer.
Anyway, my old friend has really aged and really looks like the complete computer nerd he is. He has done well for himself and owns a computer company that will help Amazon launch their server terminals in Sweden so I expect that his company will be bought by some other company in future which is quite common here once you've managed to get a wide group of clients.
But the guy has never had a woman and is 51 like me. Buys dinner for one whereas his brother has kids with several women working as a teacher at grad school.
It saddens me to see people from the past and how they have aged. I bet they feel the same about me though I haven't changed anywhere near as much as that guy.
Owns his home but no one to share it with. I used to be ok being single but nowadays and at this age it is just tragic. He even travels abroad alone posting pictures that are not exactly professional where you can see right up his Miss Piggy nose to the extent you can see a thought trapped in his brain.
