I'll never forget the first time I realized that I'd officially become 'old'. It happened some years ago. A certain guy had caught my eye and it wasn't until I actually thought about it that I realized he had one trait that would have sent me packing had he come into my life a few months prior.
He was balding.
And because I was 'old', it didn't matter. In fact, it was almost attractive.
It was at this point that I crossed into a certain level of maturity and 'oldness' that has left me hopelessly fighting for a way out ever since. But there's no escape. Once old, always old.
And that is why I'm sitting here blogging instead of having a brat with kraut at Germanfest. Because my age and lameness has gotten the best of me. Because heading out for some polka at 9pm suddenly seems like a death wish. Because I'd rather stay at home with a sick Tad than socialize, take pictures, and act silly.
I hate getting old. But I can't stop. I am compelled to choose what can only age me more.
