What is the greatest gift someone could give you?
Interesting question! The greatest gift someone could give me these days would be some kind of magic extra room in my house that contained a massive library and one of those fancy mahogany desks with velvety tops, you know the ones like Mr Burns had in The Simpsons!
Also, could it have a fancy, top-end gaming PC on it too? Which I can also write on, of course? While I love my laptop, sitting on an IKEA Poang with it balanced on my knee isn’t ideal. And the chair, perhaps one of those massive leather office chairs where you feel like you’re sat on a posh cloud. Yes, those things are magnificent.
Failing that, could I have a new spine and eyeballs, please? Maybe cybernetic ones like something from Cyberpunk 2077, so I could zoom in my vision, make microwaves go off randomly for fun and, most importantly, get out of bed in the morning without my back trying to kill me… Being old sucks, kids!
The most important thing of all though? The best gift I could receive? That you lovely people read my post… So thank you! I know, it was a bit short again today, but once I get one that really hits me I’ll write more on it, promise!
What would you like as a gift? (I’m not gonna get it for you, sorry.)
