NO MATTER WHAT! Keep being creative and spontaneous with your fun indulgences! Adventure is key, but just living the moment is just as important. Rock concerts are the best fun in the world. Sex keeps life interesting. Keep the sex dynamic! Keep being romantic! Keep on laughing, until it hurts!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984205128674846434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10009339.post-26048792100303018552009-12-14T01:25:25.702+00:002009-12-14T01:25:25.702+00:00Great post Peas!

I think its good to acknowledge our past hurts, ... its about forgiveness and acceptance ultimately, ... ultimately we can detach from the hurt, I have (eventually). We don't forget, that's the difference ... its ok, IMO because our past defines who we are today :)<br /><br />2. I think we should always be having fun :) And, keep a sense of humour ... makes life bearable sometimes LOL<br /><br />3. I hear you on other people rubbing off on us, the serious side. Its the joy for me of having a young 6 year old boy, he keeps me grounded, gives me perspective ... we run around home naked a lot (no pool) else we would skinny dip LOL<br /><br />4. You might hide your vulnerability but it comes through in your blog. So, yah, ... you do show it :) Being vulnerable ... well its important to feel safe, that's not always possible publicly. Being vulnerable exposes oneself ... so, you have a public outlet your blog. I think you are doing well, hears where you give yourself more credit :)<br /><br />5. Yah pride is over rated IMO.<br /><br />6. I am getting rid of mine by 2011, so that answers that, for me anyway.<br /><br />7. I listen to John Denver, Jonny Cash and Neil Diamond, David Kramer, ABBA, Marilyn Manson, Eminem, Mozart, Tschaikovsky, Beethoven, Bob Dylan, Buddhist Chants, Boney M and Nick Cave. That's my entire collection ... if anything shows me I should invest more in music LOL What else does it define about me?<br /><br />8. I love my denim jacket LOL and still wear it :PAniquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10719826734446471849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10009339.post-84432188833823165522009-12-11T09:34:28.195+00:002009-12-11T09:34:28.195+00:00Peas,

Not pretty either.<br /><br />I enjoyed your post today...<br /><br />I think often people who "settle down" and become boring just switch off a certain part of their brains, so to speak becoming narrow minded. Perhaps they are spiteful in making people like yourself feel bad for the decisions you make because they are to afraid to do those things themselves. In some cases it maybe goes back to the way they grew up. If you can't grow OUT of your upbringing and be able to see it from an outside perspective and be objective about it, you will be trapped to think the way your were raised to think.<br /><br />I believe that just about all of us have baggage and it depends on how much you let it come through in your day to day experiences with others. I have definitely learnt from my baggage, doesn't mean it's easy though. Easy to say this but you should try not to let it make you feel lonely and hard. <br /><br /><br />:) much love for the good postmamastellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06638546710294639573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10009339.post-17640347973084551762009-12-11T07:50:05.752+00:002009-12-11T07:50:05.752+00:00Jonathan - seriously?

This stuff really gets up my goat. For one, I believe that life is TOO fucking short not to go to rock concerts/not to discover the world/not to enjhoy our lives. Who says we have to fucking refocus on new and stable things when we reach a certain age? And what is that age exactly? Are we meant to stop enjoying the things we do at 30 - essentially stop living at 30? Please say this isn't so, or else I might as well off myself right now.<br /><br />There's an element to settling down and getting skullfuckingly wasted each and every weekend. Sure - I mean I won't just because the hangovers get worse and worse. But not because someone said 'jeez you really shouldn't get drunk anymore.' Or 'don't you think you should buy a new car and not be backpacking through Mexico?'<br />I mean COME ON. Society is a hard nut to crack, but fuck if its not pissing me off lately. What are we meant to do anyway? We're single, fun loving people - I'd say anyway - and we don't share a Multichoice contract with another half - so what else should we do with our spare time and money? The things we enjoy surely.<br /><br />Anyway, I know you agree with me to some degree - we still do the things we love and what makes us appreciate this bitch of a life we're in - maybe just less frequently because we're getting old[er]. :)Peas on Toasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03349482085062035903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10009339.post-1470172844779602072009-12-11T05:27:14.422+00:002009-12-11T05:27:14.422+00:00Great post Peas...
It's such an interesting t...Great post Peas...<br /><br />It's such an interesting topic and something I've been thinking about a lot lately.<br /><br />A 40-something year old commented on finding out I was going to watch The Killers: "Almost 30 and still going to rock concerts?"<br /><br />Now I know this is ridiculous and he's on the other side of the spectrum but it did make me think.<br /><br />I am almost 30 and I still go to a club every now and again, I still like to get off my face every now and again, I still talk shit with the mates, I would still do a spontaneous roadtrip with the mates, etc.<br /><br />So what? It doesn't mean I'm lacking maturity or focus. It doesn't mean I'm not in control. <br /><br />But, is there a point where we have to say, "OK, we're at an age where we need to settle down, focus on different things and become what everyone thinks a 30-year old should be."<br /><br />I'm not sure. I'm thinking that maybe it needs a re-setting of goals, figuring out where I want to be in 12 months and making choices based on that and on the person I want to become?<br /><br />I don't for a second believe, and I won't allow myself to become that person, that I need to suddenly become boring and not do anything that just says fuck stress, worry, what-ifs, the RIGHT decision, let's just do it because I can...tyronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01610161199757322676noreply@blogger.com
