"As I grow older, I put all life's bullshit aside. I think the process of the laying off of the bullshit starts around 40. Before that, most men have their heads stuck in their ass. After 40, you see things differently. You've found yourself. You're accepting yourself and what you got from life."

- Dennis Quaid, to the U.K.'s Guardian (purloined from perezhilton.com)

From my experience, this applies to women, as well. As the song goes:

Life ain't begun
'Til you're 40, son
That's when you really start to go to town!

I honestly can't wait to turn 40. I've heard that its the best. I'm having a helluva time in my thirties and if 40 is better than this then I don't know what to do with myself

3 years to go.....

I turned 40 last August, and I suddenly didn't care about stuff that I used to stress over. Well not suddenly, but it's been a process over the past year.
Plus, I am more confident about myself. I looked at myself in the mirror and thought, "Wow. I look good for 40. "
I am chillin' right now! "It is what it is..."

no no no ...I want to go back to hmm about 20

I NEVER want to see those years again. Too many stupid mistakes, 2nd guesses and ridiculous crap! DRAMA!

How I feel about my age depends on when you ask me.

My sig. is a current expression of my thoughts on the matter.
