I Guess I Should Feel A Mid-Life Crisis Coming On

May 21, 2009 08:46

The big 45 is coming up next month. I guess I do owe myself a crisis of some sort, but I need it to be relatively short-term (the years-long malaise I'm mired in frankly sucks ( Read more... )

C'mon. A boytoy is social acceptable. Expected even.

Of course, you could always pick a boytoy who's even older than you are . . .

Even much older...

I knew I could count on you . . .

Not only is that relationshiply problematic, but boytoys are too expensive. As are mantoys.

Mmmmm, 3 months before I turned 40 I started growing my beard, and haven't trimmed the chin part in almost 8 years. It's now to the point where I enjoy hearing folks whisper about seeing someone from either ZZ Top or The Oak Ridge Boys. Three weeks after I turned 45, I got the Obligatory New Car, but it was a Honda Civic Hybrid to replace the worn-out 11-year-old Honda Accord, and was in no way the Typical Middle-Aged Penis Extender.

At least the beard was thrifty...

I could only afford a used 1991 Civic. Not really a crisis, or a Viagramobile. At least it's dependable and running.

And :: sob :: I can't grow a real beard. I went for 6 months without shaving and could manage only....well, see my rugby userpic.

Tattoos and facial piercings.

Facial tattoos and genital piercings.

He's having his mid-life in Texas, not San Francisco.

Here it's cattle branding and piercing roadsigns with shotguns.

you could change your hair colour - that way if your mature (ie 50+yr old) self later decides not to like your midlife crisis event, it didn't involve permanent marks to your body.

or you could get one of these:

change your hair colour

As long as the carpet matches the drapes...

I've only coloured my hair once - back in 1990 or 91, when there was enough of it to colour; I went pink for Pride [see user icon].

I should perhaps confess at this point that no hair colouring was applied south of the waistband. And no, I was not shaved, so this is not a case of drapes and hardwood floor.

my secret shame.

Or I could shave my head. Problem is that it's *really* pointy, so I'd look like a demented conehead.

The internet is for porn.

The big 45 is coming up next month.

Hush. I'm two weeks ahead of you, so you'll always be a boy toy to me!
