Why is it that all of a sudden everybody you know starts wanting to get married and

have babies? Is it just some kinda instinct, or is it maybe this sudden awareness that
kicks in that you’re not getting any younger, and someday you’re maybe gonna get
sick and old and then maybe you’re gonna die- well not maybe-you are, I mean you
are gonna die, we’re all gonna die, that’s the deal- but whatever, maybe you’re
having trouble with that concept, or maybe you just don’t want to be doing all of that
stuff alone.

I think you can think of this in the terms of musical chairs. So there you are, having
spent most of your twenties playing this game of musical chairs, and suddenly
somebody turns the music off. It gets really quiet in the room, and you look around,
and the thing is, right, there’s not enough chairs to go around, somebody’s gonna be
left chair-less, somebody’s gonna get screwed, and before you know it, everybody’s
scrambling around, looking for a place to park their ass, and people are getting
knocked to the ground, and there’s shoving happening, and it’s ugly, ok, its really
ugly, but you’re right there, you’re right in the fray, and so finally you get yourself a
chair, and you’re happy because you’re seated, but then before too long, you know,
you turn to look at the people sitting next to you, and its like, who are you again?
