OP, I think your opening line sums up everything.

Nobody even owns a radio anymore, its from another century (literally). Surprised you don't call it the wireless.

Have you heard of podcasts, YouTube, Spotify, literally a whole world of media, information, entertainment at your fingertips. You get to choose what you listen to.

One of my fears , as I grow older, is becoming that old guy at the pub moaning about "back in my day".

Thanks for the timely reminder not to be that guy.

Every time I turn on the radio I hear some Thai guy wailing about being sorry....."Siaaaaaa Jaiiiiiiii"....

The commercialisation of Christmas is hardly new is it?

I mean what were those three wise men thinking of - gold, frankincense, and myrrh?

20 Baht Gold, a Thai translation of Mary Shelly's Frankenstein, and some Farang Real Esate Guy in Phuket named Murray....a truly Thai Christmas.

Sounds like the OP may be in U.S. California.

If not, he is sure describing what it is.

In NZ. I gather California is pretty much the same.

 

I just heard a kitchen ware store urging happy consumers to hurry up and buy their Christmas gifts! Oh, the joy of unwrapping a colander on Christmas day.

Is it the world around you or your attititude toward it .

 

In some cases we say " take off the rose colored glasses" when people see only positive, in your case I think, "get off the ledge" seems more fitting.????

 

 

Every day that passes with the growing insanity of the world around me makes the ledge seem more attractive.

Happily there are still people I know that scorn the insanity of the woke, and being in their presence makes it worthwhile continuing.

keep up with the buzzwords of the right, maybe that's part of the problem, instead of enjoying life as it is, you want to find something to make you think they're coming for you......

I don't think they are coming for me, but they sure are annoying.

That's one thing you and I have in common....the aches and pain of aging.  Every morning.  It'll only get worse, but hey, all we can do is make the best of it.

Actually, the days I hurt do have the effect of making me enjoy the days I don't.

Are immune to your consultations.

No wonder you're miserable. 

 

Get yourself over to Thailand. 

Problems solved.

Your complaints are the same i have heard for my entire adult life... "woe is me, things are sooo much worse than they used to be".

 

To me it seems that you are the same as the complainers I heard in the 70s and 80s... if you are stuck in the muck and only looking back, you are most certainly missing the best of an entire world moving forward.

 

Me, I'm loving 2021 and looking forward to another year of fun and adventure to come.

 

????????????????

You’re loving 2021 ?  Really ?   Wear your mask, and social distance. If you don’t have your shots…then stay home.
