    Default Are you afraid of getting older?

    Are you afraid of getting older? Do you believe that there are major lifestyle differences required, depending on what age you are?

    As a man, I love it! I don't think I would so much if I was a lady (unless I knew of horny younger fellows like myself). I wouldn't want to be an old fat gay guy either. John Waters said it best: "Skinny is good. I like skinny."

    I'm not afraid. I think your interests and priorities change when you get older. It is kind of freaky to sit back and think about it. Only thru experience do you discover what is truly important. I think a lot of times we become younger and freer as we age.

    Crimson flames tied through my ears
    Rollin' high and mighty traps
    Pounced with fire on flaming roads
    Using ideas as my maps
    "We'll meet on edges, soon," said I
    Proud 'neath heated brow.
    Ah, but I was so much older then,
    I'm younger than that now.

    Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
    "Rip down all hate," I screamed
    Lies that life is black and white
    Spoke from my skull. I dreamed
    Romantic facts of musketeers
    Foundationed deep, somehow.
    Ah, but I was so much older then,
    I'm younger than that now.

    Girls' faces formed the forward path
    From phony jealousy
    To memorizing politics
    Of ancient history
    Flung down by corpse evangelists
    Unthought of, though, somehow.
    Ah, but I was so much older then,
    I'm younger than that now.

    A self-ordained professor's tongue
    Too serious to fool
    Spouted out that liberty
    Is just equality in school
    "Equality," I spoke the word
    As if a wedding vow.
    Ah, but I was so much older then,
    I'm younger than that now.

    In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
    At the mongrel dogs who teach
    Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
    In the instant that I preach
    My pathway led by confusion boats
    Mutiny from stern to bow.
    Ah, but I was so much older then,
    I'm younger than that now.

    Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
    Too noble to neglect
    Deceived me into thinking
    I had something to protect
    Good and bad, I define these terms
    Quite clear, no doubt, somehow.
    Ah, but I was so much older then,
    I'm younger than that now.

    I remember when I was younger, I was looking forward to turning 18 so much. Now that I'm 18, I don't want my next birthday to come.

    Very much so. It will be interesting to see exactly how long my body will put up with all the beatings i put it through. I dont look foreward to the day it stops healing abnormally fast. Im not afraid of being old, per-say, but I am deathly afraid of aging. If that makes sense.
    I think I will enjoy old age, itll just be hard to get used to.

    Not in the least. I've always been an old man in a young body. I want to wear my old suits, hat, and cane...then sit around a park bench bitching about young people as I eat caramels.

    It's true, I'm totally more in the closet about that than my latent homosexuality.

    Being over two thousands years old, I do worry sometimes that I am a bit out of touch... But nothing that a little Botox and photoshop can't fix!!!!

    The way we figure age is often less valuable, as people definitely age at different paces.

    Anyhow, I feel that as long as I'm young enough to be able to do the things I that I enjoy, I can deal. Most of those things haven't changed since I was 16, and I don't expect them to change at this point.
