GEEZING

Post by Bin Noddin » Mon Jul 09, 2007 8:36 pm

What do we need to make our world come alive?
What does it take to make us sing?

GEEZING
The process of aging ungracefully; becoming a geezer.
The other day one of the local drunks was a few cents short of the price of two 24’s at the mercado next door. I gave him a quarter and he said “I appreciate it, Pops.â€

Oh fuck, things head south, did that used to be there? I grew hair where?!
My memory is fine, just the recall system system fails on demand. I know a lot, I really do, but I can't fucking remember it.
Young punks lecture on the relevance of the music I like from the sixties and seventies and eighties. Thanks, I didn't notice.
Mom jeans are comfy, granny panties too. The clothes I wore as a teen are back in style, I should shill them on ebay. I can shop with perfect irony in Hot Topic, at least the sales clerks are cool and love it when I talk dirty. Weird. I make the clerks in Spencer's nervous when I buy sex toys and lubricant. I rather enjoy making the clerks nervous.
I haven't seen my natural hair color in years. I can't see my snatch hair now, there's more of me in the way than I can shove around comfortably to have a look.
Why didn't I think I was hot when I actually was hot?
Fiber tablets taste like crap, but they work, dammit.
I have multiple prescription bottles next to the bed.
I'm outliving my siblings.
I want menopause to show up. Screw this period shit. At least I've been fixed.
I still lust after young things, but only in theory. I write erotic fanfic and like it. geek? hell yes fuck you very much.
Last time I was hit on? Burning Man 2003. He liked bigger, older, more experienced women. I liked my husband. We were at an impasse when the margaritas arrived. I still like my husband, we have hotter sex now than ever, except for our first year or so together. I'm just less flexible, "I need two pillows to do that now, sweetie."
Why didn't I go to more concerts?
How did I end up with kids when I didn't even have children?

Oh, yeah. We're still hot. Just different, and to the ones who matter most.

Stop it you two.
You’re getting old all over the place.
You’re going to get some on me.


Then I will be old.



Oh great now you did it I need a nap now.

Older chicks definitely turn me on. I especially love salt and pepper hair.
But I also find that younger chicks are more attractive. And weird looking chicks. And lots of guys too. A simple curve or move can completely addle me. It makes me wish I'd been less particular "back in the day." I'm sure not getting as much now as I did then, especially with Big Hen 38 weeks pregnant, but I'm a lot happier. I appreciate being and staying hungry whereas before it was a problem.

My anthem - Bryan Adams 18 'Till I Die.

I wanna be young the rest of my life
never say no - try anything twice
til the angels come and ask me to fly
I'm gonna be 18 til I die - 18 til I die

can't live forever that's wishful thinkin'
who ever said that must of bin' drinkin'
don't wanna grow up I don't see why
I couldn't care less if time flies by

18 til I die - gonna be 18 til I die
it sure feels good to be alive
someday I'll be 18 goin' on 55! - 18 til I die

anyway - I just wanna say
why bother with what happened yesterday
it's not my style I live for the minute
if ya wanna stay young get both feet in it - 18 til I die

a 'lil bit of this - a 'lil bit of that
'lil bit of everything - gotta get on track
it's not how ya look, it's what ya feel inside
I don't care when - I don't need ta know why

18 til I die - gonna be 18 til I die
ya it sure feels good to be alive
someday I'll be 18 goin' on 55! - 18 til I die
ya there's one thing for sure - I'm sure gonna try

don't worry 'bout the future - forget about the past
gonna have a ball - ya we're gonna have a blast
gonna make it last - 18 til I die

I remember back in Jr. High noticing how hot the little 13 year old girls were and then getting worried. See, it occurred to me, that if I was still finding 13 year old girls attractive at 35, say, it was going to be a rough life. I'm happy to say that my own subjective evaluation of what makes "attractive," has grown as I've grown and kids just don't do it for me anymore. But I was worried, back in the day. ;)

And just remember there is an alternative to growing older but you can only do it once and most of us spend a lot of energy trying to delay its inevitability....

Hey now, why don't you let me finish beating this little possession charge *before* you get rid of the bail money. You never know, it could still come in handy...;)

As a Gentleman Geezer (tm) myself, it is most fortunate that I find women in the late thirties and early forties much more attractive than those oh so difficult women in their twenties and early thirties. I mean not only mentally more attractive, but physically as well. Take this test. Watch my all-time favorite heart throb Julie Delpy in Before Sunrise (1995) and compare with Julie Delpy in Before Sunset (2005). Older Julie is way more sexy than younger Julie.

But of course, I seem to have missed that window of opportunity as most desireable women in that age group are already married or divorced with a pack of chilluns.
