It's all good

I'm with you Blue. I'm 33, been a Prince fam for damn near twenty years, and my wife says I'm still a sexy motherfucker!

Although I don't have long, I'm still in my 30s.

Counting the Dayz!!!


Peace

Im nearly there too - will be 30 next March. Here's a bit of news that always cheers me up about being 30, u may find it useful. A woman reaches her sexual peak in her 30's. Yabba dabba dooo! (not that i got anyone to reach it with... yet )

(i spelt woman incorrectly. damn, it was annoying me...!)

Us creative people, we look and act younger than we are! Their is a difference between being childlike and being childish. Prince is 44 right? What am I worried about??? And Tina Turner still looks good.

ace316 said:

Yeah, my boyfriend is 33 also, born in 1969...
He's pretty sexy, creative (writer), and has a nice compact body like Prince! Mmmm, I feel better already.

Sorry can´t help you with that yet. I am only 26.

Nice avatar!!!

I'm 32 and WAY cooler than I was at 22!!!

35, and thanks for the f**king reminder!

We were ALL cooler 10 years ago - or at least we thought we were. Personally, I've never been cool.

I will tell you this VinaBlue: If you don't have good exercise and diet habits, get some. Once you hit 30, the metabolism starts to slow down. Being married and having kids only adds to it.

When I was in my twenties, I could eat everything, run all day, and fuck all night!. I was so thin, I used to have to keep a brick in my pocket so I would be blown away by a gust of wind.

Now:

If I look at a cheeseburger the wrong way, my ass jiggles for a week! I can still "do the do", but afterwards, I need about eight hours of sleep and a bowl of Wheaties. When I go home and see old friends, they look at me and say "damn Ace, you done got thick man! You must've got married and turned thirty didn't you!"

Get ready to start pacing yourself!

Nice profile pic!!! I liked being 26. I remember realizing I was over the middle mark in my twenties, but I wasn't too worried about it because 30 was still a ways away. It made me feel mature, but not old. It was a nice balance.

I am a hamster.
I am 31.
And I still Play with Lego.
Don't listen to what anyone says; being 30 is okay.
Okay, you wrinkle some.
Okay, you get tired faster.
So fucking what.
I like me wrinkles.
I like me slowness.

VinaBlue said:

Thanks!

You are right being 26 is nice, you feel young and mature (although some people disagrea) but I am pretty anxious of hitting the big 3 0 !! It kinda means you get in the age you have to settle and thinking about kids etc. I am getting the creeps thinking about that.

ace316 said:

U funny. I know what you mean though, I've recently cut out caffeine and sugar and I have more energy than I've had in a long time. I used to take 3 dance classes in college, two that met 3 times a week and one that met twice a week!! I could get nasty all night long, as well. I'm working on getting back to that level. If Madonna can do it, so can I!

I don't have kids. Don't think I want any any time soon. I've never been a big smoker or drinker, so I got that going for me.

Peace

Aaaawwwhh Herb, its ok...

I've read some of your posts and you're a very intelligent, thoughtful person. My boyfriend likes Hunter Thompson as well. He's a writer, you might like his stuff. Check out www.sunwolfpress.com for a good

Staying away from things like smoking and drinking definately helps. I've never been a smoker and I only drink occasionally. Every now and then I might have a beer or glass of wine, but not often.

The hard thing for me is finding time to exercise. I do a decent job of whatching what I eat, but finding time to excersise is challenging. I'm married with a kid, so after working all day, I go home and do the Daddy/Hubby thing. I love it, but it causes me to have to make time to go shoot basketball, walk, or jog. It's definately not as easey as it was when I was single and in my twenties.

Thanks Gooey!

I used to have a hamster, her name was sugar.

Damn girl, do you do all that? Honey I'm scared of you!

I wouldn't want to relive my early twenties that's for sure. I was a basketcase.

Being a Dad is very important. My dad sucks big weenies! He was/still is an alcoholic and a gambler. It's much more important to be a good dad than to be a guy who cares more about the way he looks and rather be at the gym. YUCK! You're doing great. I commend you.

Thanks to everyone who's replied to this so far.

You know what brought this on? I had a dream that I was having my party and no one showed up. It was getting late and still no one! Then I woke up around 3am today and I haven't been able to go back to sleep. Thank God I have the day off today!!!

I've been debating on weather or not I want to have a big party this year. Then I thought it would be fun to have an 80's party. Still thinking...

Well VinaBlue, I hope you can count me as good company. I have been in the thirtysomething club for a year and a half. It feels good, the build up is worse than the reality.

31 here

Vina...life starts at 30...it's the best decade yet...in your teens you're going through physical changes, in your 20s you're trying to sort things out and then...your 30 and everything starts to fall into place
(although your butt starts to jiggle...)

Don't forget the when you go to the !!! He hee.. just kidding

You know what's great about being 30something? We know how to spell! Not that all 20somethings don't, but there sure are lots of them around. More than the 30s who don't. Of course Prince doesn't help with his 4Us and Eyes, but hey, most of us know the right way.

VinaBlue said:

Thanks VinaBlue. I too have a dad who sucks the big love sausage when it comes to being a dad. Mofo wasn't there for me when I needed him, but acts all proud of me now, knowing full well he didn't have shit to do with how I turned out. He does inspire me though...to not be like him and be the best dad I can be!

I think the good dad/good health thing go hand in hand. I'm not obsessed with being a certain weight or anything like that, but it has become increasingly important to me because I like doing active things with my daughter. She's almost 12 now and is wanting to get into athletics. I want to stay in good enough shape to help her and also to look good for my wife and myself. The way I see it, I represent them and vice versa. I don't want to be the stereotypic couch potato dad with the big ass gut who looks like crap. "Hey Maisha, is that your dad?? He's uh...kinda..hefty, isn't he" I don't want that for her.

I'm 38,I'm damn near to old to be in this club.
Let's stop talking about age(i have a wonderful personality)
