I think the fact that your hubbie even thought about the baseball thing is really adorable. Your 40’s are supposed to be your fun years---you’re supposed to be comfortable in your own skin finally, making choices that you don’t regret. (That’ll be me when I’m 60…) <BR/><BR/>I’m looking forward to my golden years. I’m going to be sitting on a cruise ship with my dyke girlfriend sipping scotch on the rocks and playing shuffleboard.

I'm the youngest in my family and of all of my cousins, so my perspective is being the youngest, no matter my age. I've also known for a long time that my boyhood dreams weren't going to be a reality as I moved into my teens, 20's, 30's, so its no surprise that they haven't been realized. New goals have taken their place.SheenVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00397336652393263392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-1146143126241498102006-04-27T08:05:00.000-05:002006-04-27T08:05:00.000-05:00Happy Black Balloon Birthday to your hubbie.

I can't speak for all guys, but I can for myself. Being a san shaou fighter, I am extremely concerned about aging and slowing of reflexes, loss of lethal power. I've always had bad eyes, which I correct with contacts or glasses; however, as I get older I notice a few things happening. My mind is sharper, and my technique is getting better. But I'm constantly afraid my skills, things that I was good at before such as sharp dibilitating strikes that can put a person down in just one blow will start to fade.<BR/><BR/>I think this sort of thing plagues most men, we have aspirations. Me? I want to be able to bring the most amount of harm to another human being with the least amount of effort in any given situation. And I rely on my training to provide me the tools I must perform it. Others want to play basketball or baseball and they want to excel at it. We compare ourselves to the greats because that's what all people. Aim high, even if you won't hit the mark at least you were aspiring for it. So thanks for not laughin' at him ^_^Pratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04114220019018827843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-1146141787872056932006-04-27T07:43:00.000-05:002006-04-27T07:43:00.000-05:00His view is not surprising.

Lots of us have these pictures in the back of our mind that we can be "something" and maybe it is so, but we have been unwilling or unable to pay the dues to get there. Even though we do not put forth the effort, it still remains a possibility in the back of our minds.<BR/><BR/>I think we all hit a point in our lives when we realize the second law of thermodynamics has forever closed the door to those posssibilities however miniscule they were. I think this realization hits males harder for some reason.<BR/><BR/>Good news though! It can give us the opportunity to focus on who we really are and what we really want to do when we close the "Fantasy Door"<BR/><BR/>"I coulda bin sumtin', I coulda bin a contendah" Marlon Brando, "On the Waterfront"malhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12182913972445521943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-1146139628340516102006-04-27T07:07:00.000-05:002006-04-27T07:07:00.000-05:00Barry Bonds has been doing steroids for quite some...Barry Bonds has been doing steroids for quite some time.
