Time keeps on tickin...tickin...tickin...into the Future
Today I found myself saying something to the effect of "Honey I am old enough to be your mother". Now I am most assuredly not old enough to be this persons mother unless I was perhaps Jerry Lee Lewis' first cousin child bride baby mama, but this is besides the point. I actually don't know what the point is, I find myself mentioning my age quite a lot lately. I am not unhappy with my age, I am actually really enjoying being in a place in my life where the dizzying highs and terrifying lows of young adulthood have smoothed out a bit (I mean let's not get crazy, I am still a walking emotional rollercoaster). I ask myself why I feel I need to mention my age, one one hand, it's sort of a badge of honor, I mean for chrissakes I made it this far. But I know I also do it because it shocks people, it's a sneaky way to get compliments, like "oh my god, your 40, I thought you were 32". Then I bask in my youthful appearance to one and all, and I have to ask myself why would I do that if I am fine with my age? The whole situation makes me feel like an episode of Sex in the City, which I only watch on television when something on the scifi channel like the remake of Lost in Space with Joey from Friends and Gary Oldman is over and they start to run the credits and the music is some sort of techno frenzy and you freak out because your convinced that they switched the credits from some other movie because hell no does this music fit the ending of this film. Then I switch to a Sex in the City halfway through and am confused about what is happening but pretty sure I would be confused even if I had seen it from the beginning, but again that's not the point. Someone once said your only as old as your last plastic surgery, which would actually make me 3 weeks old, which is creepy because I like sex and am not into age play and well I think you know enough to draw your own conclusions about that statement. So again I don't know what the point is, but I do know I like being Forty, Forty One I am not so sure about.
