Mid-Life CrisesFollow

As I stroll stylishly through my own mid-life crisis, I'm reconciled to reinforcing the stereotype without a shred of shame.

Nothing drastic; the usual wearing of clothes that are too young for me (I know I should be in a cardigan with a special Werther's Originals pocket, but I prefer Gap and Ben Sherman) and ordering a convertible ("Where is sweetch for Babe Magnet? Yagshemaash").

I am aware, however, of more extreme ways of compensating for the uncertainty of advancing years.

A neighboUr of mine has a newly acquired Harley D and a spectacular comb-over.

The best I heard was a former member of my staff (A fat, white 50 year old) has begun wearing Snoop Dogg style baggies and bling, and capped it off by legally changing his name to "Lazarus Cool"

Any other good ones you know?

Wow, it sucks being an old person.

I got dragged out to an elite New Years' Eve party in a very rich town once. I usually like to going out with friends but I was sort of dragged out with this. It just seemed like to me that everyone who was 40-50 there was trying especially hard to have a good time. Like they couldn't just relax and take it all in, but they had to 'act' like they were having a good time around others. I kinda felt wierd when an older lady 'rolled' her eyes at me and her husband nodded and asked to have their seat moved. Really I think it was because I didn't show up dressed to the occassion. Just wore my hooded sweatshirt and a pair of jeans. But that's who I am - I wear what I like and don't tend to care what people think...unless maybe if a close friend says something. Also, I never saw as many **************** up people as I did at the middle-age parties. Most nightclubs I go to, they just drink and talk with their friends...old people nightclubs are...just wierd.

You'd think as people get older, they start caring less...like in middle school it mattered, high school too. But it seems the opposite for some reason. Well, my theory on middle-age crisis is that they just don't really have any hobby that they love so they are searching for an identity. Just have your hobbies or whatever and have fun with that. My music is my spirituality. That's more than enough for me.

I had one of those once. Almost bought a Porsche.

I've missed you.

Apparently, Nobby helps cope with his midlife crisis by cleverly inserting alliteration into his posts.

Touché, good sir.

All about assonance baby

I have yet to worry about a birthday.

I'd worry more about the lack of them, in fact.
