Much Too Young To Feel This Damn Old!
“All my cards are on the table with no ace left in the hole. I’m much too young to feel this damn old….” As I listened to Garth Brooks on my way home from work, it hit me. My young, wild and crazy days are over. (I’m not sure I really had any crazy ones to begin with)
I guess the first sign was back when a store clerk asked, “Would you like plastic or paper Ma’am?” “Ma’ am??” “Who you calling Ma’am?!” I thought. Oh, I had all kinds of responses racing through my head but in the end, all I could tell that clerk was: “Paper please. Thank you.”
Yeah, that’s when it all began. Now, there are lots of signs that I’m “maturing”. Like my choice in shoes. I almost always pick flat comfortable “grandma” shoes over sexy, painful heels. Unless I’m working, I skip makeup—really it’s not good for the skin. And, I certainly have no desire to go out drinking and clubbing. See what I mean? Thanks Garth Brooks for reminding me that I'm getting old!
I wonder….who deals better with getting older? Men or women? I'm not sure. I have a girlfriend who just got a boob job and is now considering get a mini facelift. Ouch! I have a long time male friend who suddenly I see shamelessly chasing after young college hotties. Does that make him feel younger? I guess we all deal differently with this issue.
How am I gonna deal with this? Easy.....
NO MORE COUNTRY MUSIC! Goodbye Garth.
In just a few days I'll be running the Long Beach Marathon. Since I've never done anything like this before, I'm not sure what to expect. One minute I'm excited over the run, the next I'm terrified, asking "What did I get myself into?"
Whatever happens on Sunday, I want to make sure I have some GREAT MUSIC!
I'm currently preparing my playlist. I have close to 4 hours of good, fast moving music. But I'm gonna need more (I'm a slow runner). Any good suggestions? I like ALL KINDS of music. And I really mean all kinds--- just as long as they have a good rhythm--nothing too slow.
Here's just a sample of the large variety of songs I've put on my playlist:
--La Grange -ZZ Top
--Suicide Blonde- Inxs
-She took it like a man & Trashy Women -Confederate Railroad
- Radar Love -GOLDEN EARRING
-Days go by -Dirty Vegas
- A Dios le pido-Juanes
- Ojos Asi- Shakira
- It's my life- Bon Jovi
-Bad to the Bone- George Thorogood
-Butterfly- Crazy Town
-Chango- Ozomatli
-Gangsta's Paradise- Coolio
-Arrasando-Thalia
As good as I once was- Toby Keith
Stupid Girls- Pink
Linkin Park- In the end
Bring me to Life- Evanescense
You shook me all night long AC/DC
Folsom Prison Blues- Johnny Cash
Eres para mi-Julieta Venegas
Stay Fly -Three 6 Mafia
BTW, I'm running to raise dollars for scholarships. If anyone would like to donate, here's the address:
