I'm 10 days from being 25, and all I can think to myself is " I'm damn near 30." Which is in the grand scheme of things doesn't mean anything. To me, however, asides from it being my golden birthday, its also signals the end of an excusable absurdity. I mean, if one is to sit back and compare, I am not even an image of the same person I was when I turned 20, nor will I be at 25, and again at 30... but at 30, I feel like the sweeping forgiveness of the stupidity of your 20's is no longer acceptable. There is no "right way to age gracefully" but I think it should include not losing the ability to just see people for being people.. regardless of age.
Being that these days there are just as many friends of mine who are older as there are those that are younger, I have to remind myself that age doesn't reflect maturity, wisdom, or candor. And I have to laugh when I think about the guys I look at these days...
It's not yet something out of desperate housewives with the cougar stalking the cub... but that's what it feels like sometimes. Given that the gap is usually about 2-4 years I wonder what difference that makes in the attributes they bring to the table. The just-old-enough-to-drink-legally surfer boy, the father-of-one southern boy in the mid-west, the x-marine with the fuck-you-if-you-think-I-can't-do-it attitude, and the unknown man. Someone asked me today what my type was..... and I had a very hard time articulating what it was. Lately, it seems like its been the younger gents catching my eye. ( maybe it has to do with less baggage or they are just more fun!) and granted, as many good things as come with these stallions, sometimes there are some draw backs which many not get straightened out till they grow up a bit.
Boys are easy. Or at least simple. Sometimes it seems like there should be more to it, but there isn't. haha THERE'S the answer I know I've been looking for. Its easy in writing. The things that make them tick are all the same... but somehow the packaging makes such a difference :) Sometimes I might even need a manual to make it work right, but it will run the same as the rest. The time I've spent wondering what one was thinking, worrying about what he would do, and obsessing over the littlest nothing, is exactly why I missed the boat, or it took off without me. It doesn't matter the age ( at least not yet, and not to me...) there is only so much.
So.. lesson learned, keep it simple as much as I can, for as long as humanly possible. Lovers last as long as the fun lasts.

The Happily Never After.
I got to thinking while washing up this evening, about one night stands. Or more specifically the relationships that we choose to have. Someone once told me that we all have exactly the relationships that we want (either by default or by effort.) So that got me to thinking: how do they decide? What makes someone a "one night stand" candidate?
Being that I have an ever growing circle of guy friends (because I am generally seen as being a dude with boobs) I have sat in on some "shop talk" about the "ladies from last night." Now, some of these guys are generally charismatic sons of bitches who could talk their way into just about any one's pants, but they choose. Darwin at work perhaps? Maybe that girl just reminded them of someone they wanted to nail in high school... who knows. I don't really see this as them scraping for sex, but the itch must be scratched. Enter Females. Let's say we are all sitting at a bar, not necessarily trolling for tail, but surveying the spoils. One has to wonder, how much are they willing to let slide for their one night stand? Can she have one leg that is shorter than the other, or must she be the next Giselle? Where to set the bar?.. this is what I wonder.
Given the fact that the male sex drive tends to be pilot, eventually they opt for a lady of the night, in fact I think they would prefer it. The ladies are sent packing shortly after orgasm, never to be seen again. Most girls are looking for the fairy tale with the prince on the white horse who is ready to sweep s away to a castle on the hill, and in order get off a shot, the men must pretend to have some saddle skills. But that still doesn't answer what makes someone worthy of a one night stand.
So what is it? You tell me. The T&A isn't enticing enough for a second showing? Boring as a box of rocks? The grand tour not live up to the brochure? Just need a little dirty romp? Maybe it is just bad timing, but in the mean time, I can spend MY time with him/her? Endless possibilities. But the "tail" ends with a happily never after.
