I'm feeling old

From time to time, I find grey hairs on my head... all over my head my temples, and my beard. But that is not why I feel old.

I am slower and less flexible now than I have ever been before. But that is not why I am feeling old.

I can remember the introduction of Jolt Cola, and its original slogan. But that is not why I feel old.

I read some of these journals, and see people on the street passionantly displaying thier beliefs. I wonder, what has happened to the fervant idealism of my youth?

I envy those willing to go out and get arressted for thier beliefs. But I feel like I can not join them. I work with kids afterall. What parent would want thier child taught by someone with a record?

Not that there is anything I consider worthy of getting arressted right now.

I'm definantly pro war, but I am not definatly anti war either. I don't want war, but I also don't want the alternative that avoiding war would bring about.

Here I sit, in the shades of gray.

A few wks. ago, I finally joined the ranks of the rest of you old folks and turned 30! Ouch! And about feeling old: I was dating this guy who is 10yrs. my jr.(don't ask! lol) and we were watching vh1 classics. An old Michael Jackson video (pre-Thriller) came on and the little boy (not a boi) asked me who was that guy!?! Then I began to think, "Well, of course he wouldn't know a dark skinned, pre-nose job M.J., the M.J. he grew up w/has been a small nosed, light skinned guy!" Come to think of it, I don't even think he was born when that video came out! Needless to say, that relationship ended quickly! LOL

So, how do I like 30? I love it!! I finally feel like a grown-up! I know what I want to do w/my life (studying to be a preschool teacher...& I'm darn good @ it!) & I've finally got rid of the trash in my life (useless people). So, I invite you & yours to be apart of my new circle of friends...interested? Oh, & I lost 25lbs! I'm Back!!!!

Well a happy belated birthday! Welcome to the 4th decade of your life.

Gods, I miss your face.... the rest of you too.

I wanted to contact you a few times, but I figured you "removed" yourself for a reason, and respected your privacy. The only contact info I have is your cell phone anyway, is it still the same?

My contanct info has changed... not sure you have it:

Address: 2241 W. Kettleman Ln. Lodi, CA 95242
The new place is very nice -- I think you would like it. We have a vineyard. Very cool.

phone (209) 369-1326

Don't be a stranger!!

I guess you can say that I removed myself from everyone and I'm sorry about that. I just had to figure out who was staying and who was going...and since I'm adding your number to my cell phone...YOU'RE STAYING!! Gosh, don't you feel lucky! LOL

All kidding aside, I've missed you too. It's going to be nice to have a conversation w/an intelligent person.

I'll give you a call a.s.a.p. Until then, hugs & kisses!

I do feel lucky actually. Friends to me are more precious than anything else I can imagine.
