That's cool and good for you and all, seems like you had some good bases to build from, but that ain't me.

I'm not big on skills or practice. Can't rekindle a curiosity that I've never had. Can't stick with anything long enough for self-improvement. Never enjoyed reading. No career to speak of, worked food service more than anything else.

I'm just running out the clock. Day by day, week by week, year by year.

I assume he means an American football. I mean, I've never thought that myself before but I guess I can see where he's coming from. But really the width to length and roundedness of head/chin aren't quite right for that comparison.

The Mayting season, even.

I'd be fucked. I'm not succeeding in the present, I see 0 reason to believe that would be different in 1375.

Getting married doesn't have to cost a lot of money, if a couple chooses to spend a lot on their wedding they're doing it for that sake, but it's not necessary.
