stolid

When I'm 40 and a week short of my mid-life crises (where I buy a new sports car that my daughter eventually will drive, and my wife can't manage losing those pesky 10lbs for the office holiday party), I will remain stolid in my manner. Because, now, when I am able to make choices about the future I will not worry about my 40-year-old state of mind and the boredom I've succumbed to willingly. Instead I will choose the future that is gilded with 401Ks and fun, enjoyable vacation windows.

That is how we've been groomed. So we give up our innocent creativity.
