Finally I'm defrosted!...I tried to freeze myself to stop the aging process but apparently It Doesn't work...I'm thawed and now very cold...lol,That explains the picture - after seventeen days, I'm very hungry...ha ha, kidding aside...
...It's been seventeen days since I celebrated my 30th, I had a good time to say the least.
Having said that, I guess I have come into terms that being thirty is not as bad as thought It would be, not that I thought it's the end of the world, but as some of you may know, there comes a point in your life where you question everything and WORRY too much about what lies ahead, talk about expect the unexpected flushed in the toilet...lol...
...anyway
We were jabbering away on the phone the other day (My good friend Ruby & I) and the topic of aging and maturity was somehow brought to the table...
...I suppose (for some) maturity really comes with age...REALLY?!...lol, It fascinates me how much I've changed (OK, maybe not so much) specifically about the superficiality that is somehow like an enigma attached to the teen years & early twenties (Is it a racial or ethnicity thing or just upbringing? - I have my opinion BUT I'll let you decide and think about it yourself)...
... For example, when we were in our teens (I am seriously not kidding) especially in High School, most of us could care less about corrupt politicians or global warming, we have our opinions but we don't get too involved, most of the time we worry about the superficial stuff such as signature or designer things - For example; Chanel, Calvin Klein, Giordano, Swatch, Mendrez, Bench, Boy London, United Colours of Benetton, Aspen, Polo Ralph Lauren, YSL & etc. - there may even be a question about your clothes, "where it's made or whether it's an original" ...It's ridiculous but it did happen!
HOWEVER, those were the days when you can't really blame "us", "YUPPiNESS" was a big part of our society *hint*, It is like your pass to belong in that certain age group as well as to have a sense of belongingness and not feel excluded...
...Anyway
These days, I'm your typical blue jeans & t-shirt kind-o-guy, I shop at Target, Wal-Mart, Kohl's, K-Mart and sometimes even in our local goodwill - yes I do. I guess for me, it became more about my comfort level , If I'm comfortable with what I'm wearing whether it's from a designer shop or a thrift store - I'll wear it, don't get me wrong, I still do my occasional "designer splurge" however I can honestly say now that those designer brands "doesn't really matter"(or maybe a little) BUT It is more about me being comfortable of what I'm wearing and being comfortable about myself.
Anyway, I guess maturity really comes with age!(again, for some...lol), Now, All I have to do is stay healthy and most of all...
...become rich and famous...ha ha!

OK, we did the same thing. Back in my days, the designer thing was jsut starting to take off. Earth shoes, ditto's, pendletons...and lots of surfer clothing just coming out...then there was the old classics like White Stag, Levi's, dockers...Now I hear that there a b-jeans called "7's" at Nordies and they cost $150!
So ridiculous.
As we mature we find things more spiritual and fulfilling like being with good friends, family, and helping others. breaking bread so to speak, you know?
Here's how you have put a smile on my face...the God given talent of your artistry has brightened our home so much. I love looking at the paintings you did....just awesome. They really make me smile. What joy....you brought true joy into our home because we value your friendship so much.
