My definition of 30 something sum'thin...

     Since I'm new to this blogging thing I want to clear up any ambiguity regarding my title page. Now follow along (smile) ...Let's start off by making it clear that I am "ageless"...yes that's what I said and how I said it. Age- less. As the years ebb on I stay the same age range.-lol Some folks say their 21 forever...nahhhh...there are things (including people) I did, things I said, things and events I participated in that if I knew then (in my 20's) what I know now I sure as heck would have avoided. Wanting to still belong to the age groups prior to 21 is just unrealistic and reveals I deep yearning to hold on to the Peter Pan syndrome. Granted it is comforting to be coddled like a baby...given a bottle, having oil rubbed on ya. Problem with infant years is can't avoid the mess. And sure the teens were great ...given a bottle ( hiccup), having oil rubbed on ya ...Problem here was the peer pressure, pimples and parents.
     Let's get out of Never Never-mind Land... now in the 20's you can be given the bottle , in fact, you buy it ya durn self w/out hanging out side the package store and waiting for some sucker to go in for you and hope he's not going to take your joy juice with him. About that oil rubbing...well ya know...nuff said on that subject. Let's just say no parents to object if done correctly. Reflecting  on my 20's still reveals pressures of sorts: cash flow access, friends, where to go Friday night. The 30's allowed for a new since of freedom. Still some pressures: work, bills, where to go Saturday night (too tired to do Friday night). Great thing about the 30's is you look your best (provided you take care of your body and don't drink, smoke, and party too much). Skin looks good and one can shop for fashion you love not what your friends love.
     We have arrived at the summit...the 40's! You look great. May have lost that weight and if not ...you don't give a flying fig! You buy fashions you love not specifically what's in the fashion magazines. Looks good to me...if not WTF!!! Your motto as it relates to the bottle is " it's Happy Hour every hour somewhere in the world and if not...who gives a damn"!!! This is the ultimate time for a women Butttttttt and yes there is a butt and it's not that thing I sit on...Mamma didn't  bless me wid something big to shake...w e l l stuff shakes but it ain't da booty....but I digress ...The only problem with the 40's is Perception. Everybody thinks you're getting old not just older.Kids think 40's "is one foot in the grave age". Hollywood thinks you can't play Sexy leading lady roles unless your playing a cougar. And if your single in your 40's ...sheesh that's  the damn kiss of death to men. They think we are all going through "the change". Something new to blame our independence and opinions on ( use to be PMS).
     Hope I painted a clearer picture as to why I am and will always be 30 something. Consider this concept in algebra..."x" is a variable in this case "something" = "X". So I'm not stretching the truth just allowing room for growth. I CAN and  I am 30 something 4EVER even when you think I am 40 ish!!!! And if you don't agree...As Flo on Mel's Diner would say...Kiss my Grits!!!!
