I was going through some old university photos for a friend on the weekend, and ended up looking at my life now, and going into a tailspin. Heck...maybe I should blog about it too. Anyway... I've made many more, and many more serious, mistakes in my so-called "adult" years than in my youth. I liked myself more back then too. Ah, well...guess I'll just have to do what I can with what's left, huh?<br /><br />Great post. Very real. I like that.<br /><br />The photo-obsession, by the way, has a lot to do with internet social networking and digital abilities. We, at the same age, did not do that with regular cameras. Heck, I've taken more cruddy self-portraits in the last few years than in all my years before. Can't imagine why though. Hmm. Must be a fad.<br /><br />Great going on the book!havahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369953248075213051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010663855553878264.post-67055871043295959452009-11-16T22:19:08.504-08:002009-11-16T22:19:08.504-08:00Dave!

Because that's what makes old people old and no fun, is that they aren't a kid inside anymore. <br /><br />AYE, I feel the same way, I don't want to turn 20! haha I want to be 19 forever! I guess we humans will always find a way to feel like that. So what can ya do but embrace today? Then at least ya didn't waste it.<br /><br />Just be optimistic and pick out the advantages of whatever age you are and enjoy them before they are gone. Because even getting older has advantages.Sodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14606083513938391404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010663855553878264.post-7836421785582729152009-11-16T21:37:00.771-08:002009-11-16T21:37:00.771-08:00My wife is petrified of turning 25.

As long as you enjoy yourself along the way and God is number one in your life. I think you are too hard on yourself. <br /><br />I know one young man who was pulled into Sunday school and eventually church by your funny stories and goofiness.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12479174471640023877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010663855553878264.post-60502255000602472062009-11-16T16:13:00.712-08:002009-11-16T16:13:00.712-08:00I actually think Im dumber now than I was when I w...I actually think Im dumber now than I was when I was 18. My mind feels slower, not as quick on my feet as I used to be, I read slower AND I forget tons of stuff. It is awesome! I think it might be from smelling gas for an hour plus a day while I use the golf picker for work lol.<br /><br />I turned on my DSi for the first time in I dunno how long and Middle daughter had taken several pictures of herself and set one as my background.

Really as long as you feel like you can relate to folks, age does not matter. You can't be bosom buddies with an infant and you can't be best friends with an invalid octogenarian, but the in-betweens are okay. Age itself has nothing to do with friendships. (Well, okay, a little, but not <i>that</i> much.) There are generation gaps and things we don't understand about older/younger generations, but the differences don't matter in the long run.<br /><br />Of course, maybe when I'm twenty years older I'll think differently, but for now I offer only what I can. Take care. Long live the beard!<br /><br />(Oh, and thanks for the lockpicking observation. I never really paid much attention to the rising speeds of the tumblers. Now, I'm much more effective at my lockpicking.)logankstewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12269634215857320344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010663855553878264.post-47903299590634559762009-11-16T07:27:12.483-08:002009-11-16T07:27:12.483-08:00You must have been a stellar 20 year old.

I suppose it's a good thing when we have to remind ourselves of our age, rather than actually feeling our age - whatever 40 is supposed to <i>feel</i> like. Luckily, I have a teenage daughter who never fails to remind me when I forget. ;)Paula Titushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02694955415376098701noreply@blogger.com
