Middle-aged handsome brother

Not long after leaving school, many people began to feel that the young bird never returned. It seems that the past 10 years have been wasted. What should be learned and what should be done is not done. Then after another 5 years, I got married and gave birth to a child. In a blink of an eye, my middle-aged uncle and Huang Lianpo changed. The work and life became lifeless, the reality and the expected path were too far away, and I suddenly found that my life was over. Only then did I know that youth is cruel, and the legendary middle-aged crisis that caused the majority of middle-class wives to hang themselves and jump off the building is truly terrifying.

Of course, the middle-age crisis is also different from person to person. Tragic men like Greenberg + handsome brother are rare in the world. A frustrated 40-year-old New Yorker who just recovered from a mental breakdown decided to visit his younger brother in LA-to take care of the house when his successful younger brother and his family went on a trip. But he proudly said to everyone: "I don't think I will do anything during this time, I will try to do nothing." right now I'm trying to do nothing for a while" So he spends all his time In doing nothing, he wrote all kinds of complaint letters to starbucks and american airline every day. He sat on the sofa with scissors and buckled his nails to fix his hair. It was accidentally discovered that my brother's baby dog ​​had an incurable disease.

Such a living middle-aged tragic man was recognized by many people because of his frankness but unexpectedly: No one has ever dared to trample on all the judgment standards in the world like this, without worry, and brave. This is indeed a handsome middle-aged man that no one dare to imagine. Therefore, his love with Florence is more inexplicable and more inexplicable than talking about Journey to the West. She said: "You seem really fine doing nothing. It's like you don't feel the pressure to be successful, I mean by other people's standards." . This dashing strange uncle won the heart of his younger brother's beautiful assistant. At this time, there was a very unkind sentence in my mind, "People are shameless, the world is invincible", but in my heart I secretly envy the state of this guy is actually how many people want to do it but can't let it go in this life. Also, the mystery is that these people who are not afraid of the sky and the earth are often afraid of death. Even if he didn't have any concerns, the steel-skinned Greenberg was worried that the dog's disease would be transmitted to him.

Greenberg: "It's a strange thing to get older.
Ivan: "Youth is wasted on the young."
Greenberg: "I go further, life is wasted on people."

life is wasted on people. This is a truth that many people have proven but we still don’t want to believe: life is destined to be tragedy from the mother’s womb. Everyone still struggles with the ball, and learns from the uncles to become chic.

Greenberg quotes

  • Roger Greenberg: The thing about you kids is that you're all kind of insensitive. I'm glad I grew up when I did cos your parents were too perfect at parenting- all that baby Mozart and Dan Zanes songs; you're just so sincere and interested in things! There's a confidence in you guys that's horrifying. You're all ADD and carpal tunnel. You wouldn't know Agoraphobia if it bit you in the ass, and it makes you mean. You say things to someone like me who's older and smarter with this light air... I'm freaked out by you kids. I hope I die before I end up meeting one of you in a job interview.

  • Roger Greenberg: We're not really even dating... and we're seeing other people.

    Florence Marr: I'm not seeing anyone...

    Roger Greenberg: Neither am I!... But I want to

    Florence Marr: Who?

    Roger Greenberg: I don't know! Anyone. I'm doing nothing, I'm not tied to anyone. How many times do we have to go over it. Jesus! I should be with a divorced 38 year old who has teenage kids and low expectations about life. I don't wanna fucking do this anymore. God!
