“You can only be young once. But you can always be immature.”  - Dave Barry

“There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age.” – Sophia Loren

I guess with every thing else it is all in the mind. I don’t have a problem with either female or male talking down to someone where age is concerned as long as it is legal.  But this not where i am going with this. I not encouraging no Lotitas around here.

I was recently accused of being a 25yr old trapped in a 40yr old body. It did not upset me to say the least but it got me a thinking. On what basis  that verbal indictment was passed? So i looked at myself, deeply examining my persona and bulleted the following that i know about myself:

• I take responsibility for all that i say and do
• I donot like wishy washy hand shakes it disturbes the foundation of trust for me
• My word is my absolute bond in any type of relatonship
• I have total and absolute respect for all woman who respects themself, and respect those who don’t
• I have the mental fortitude to conduct business at any level and i have never failed to impress with my very open minded approach.
• No matter what type of relationship i have with a female, when in her company i accord her the gentleman gestures she deserves (i don’t have to be banging her like some men believe)
• I take seriously the responsibility that belongs to me has the “man” for my home, especially everyone’s security. I am never scured, don’t fear death nor injury when it comes to those under my care, even though i do have some issues
• I always use every oppurtunity i get to educate the ignorant and teens on their rights as a citizen of Jamaica. I also think it is my duty to educate in regards to tryin to be independent, respecting yourself, and the benefits of achieving a higher learning.
• I take my duties as citizen of my country maybe too serious, voting is a must, break no law unless i had no choice, no throwing of nothing through my car window i don’t care who the hell you are. i even had the choice of legitimately declining from doing juror duties and i opt to go ..mmmm must post about that one day they even voted me in as foreman.
• I have held officer postions in different service organisation the most recent being in my community association. To serve is a must.

I think you all got the drift so let me say no more. So how is it i am considered to be a 25yr old trapped in 40 yr old body which i actually love, the grey hairs look good , only thing missin is the once wash board abs, and i gain this bike tyre around my waist, note bike not car. I intend to keep it at bike, hopefully        So what it is about my behaviour that has illicited the comment, this is my take on it:

• I am always singing to myself enjoy the sound of my voice
• I listen to Neyo Usher and  all those now a days young people music, added to that i listen them loudly in my car and i sing along while i am driving oooh and i even dance while driving … oooh and do they stare guess they grudge me because i don’t have the weight of the world on my back.
• I take my PSP ..yes MY psp (hand held game console) to the bank with me while waiting to be served and i’ll play SOCOM i actually get to hunt terorrist and cap them MF stopping them from taking over the world no more 9/11 around here. ooooohhh and again they stare of course i am enjoying myself not being frustrated and shouting out why the hell the service is so poor in here y’all need more tellers and a whole host of annoying utterances
• I dance and i don’t mean the after drinking a few in the club dancing, nope i dance at home on the front lawn, in the rain, love the rain, where ever the music hit me i’ll dance. I am told i look like a drunken dinosaur trying to keep his balance ….hehe
• I like giving trouble here in cyber world and more so in the real world. Although to some people annoyance at times … them tooo stiff sorry fi them.
• I love cartoons i even have a series that i watch Avatar … never missed one love it, normally i try not to miss super friends, batman, xmen, yogi…. to name a few
• Any where i see children playing and i have the time i’ll join in and play with them no matter how i am dressed and it is strictly first name basis for me and them, i aint nobody’s uncle not wearing that as some freaking title. Disrespect has never been a problem with me and any child, love conquers all. They dis, and then they will be banned from having fun with me.  So all the children at my daughter school know me and all the parents wonder how is it i get through to their child so easily.

Those are things i have noticed, that has drawn out similar type comments suggesting that i am immature. Guess it will be Peter pan for me forever then, cause this is just who i am 40 and free …… YIIIIPPPPEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
