A Bit of Me, Myself and I …

This is really crazy. How do you send me a text saying hi then I hi you back, tell you that I don’t have a clue that the number I’ve just seen is new and what you can tell me is that you got a missed call from my number!

One word, lame!

You actually date? For real? How old are you?

If that’s your idea of a pick-up line, why don’t you try it on someone else. By the way, elementary school is a good place to start! And, if you are labelled a pedophile, that's on you. I didn't say you go there literally. Go to jail, alone!
I wanted to say younger woman but who told you every young woman is stupid? You are grossly mistaken if you think so.

Never underestimate anyone.

Yeah … stereotypes. Kinda true; but, not 100% true. There is much room for skeptism. There are exceptions to the rule. Actually, very many exceptions. I think flexibility is the norm of stereotypes.

In this fast changing world, you can’t argue by stereotyping. Leave that to our forefathers. It is really outdated. Old school is way better than outdated. Times have changed. So should you. Otherwise irrelevancy is you thing. Kudos.

(Seriously, don’t take this personally. Very many people are reading this). It has never been about one person, except two or three posts. I honestly don’t know and won’t count.

But I think it applies in some cases. Let me not discredit old beliefs. Some still hold true. Some, not all. Most old things are just hogwash if you re-introduce them today.

Talking of old school stuff, I don’t have a problem with it, but if you give me an old school kettle (shudder! They are coming back!), you won’t live to tell the story! And the worst thing is that people actually think they are cool! Jesus!

I like the fancy colors. Nothing else. I think an original is always better looking. Fakes are not. I consider these modern kettles to be fakes! But, time also factors in. For instance, you cannot treat a teenager today like he’s from 1900. C’mon!

These people are a different breed. They are sharp and enlightened and youth comes with stupidity (fact of life). 1900 should be painted in black and white. The lessons are real; the stuff belongs to 1900!

Anyway, let me pocket my reservations. Maybe they are good. Maybe I just don’t see their goodness.

But, personally, I would rather get a kettle that doesn’t scream “outdated”.

I own a vintage sleeping shirt. I hate it. I wear it because I have to. I can’t give it away because I seriously hate it. I’ll burn it. But I think it is way comfortable than most sleepwear when it is cold.

Cold or no cold, that’s a shirt I have to burn. If it had a trouser to match, I’d have died in my sleep!

So, vintage is good but it is not for me. Let those who can tolerate vintage do so. I don’t want to. I don’t think I will be able to but, as always, there is an exception to the rule. I have beef with kitchenware and a few other things. Not, everything.

There is good vintage, but I’m better off without it. Actually, everything just keeps repeating itself so it may be vintage all the way, but I think taste varies the choices. I have no problem seeing something I’d consider “revolting” on someone else. I know my taste does not dictate yours, but please don’t shove your individual taste down my throat. I’ll say no to your face! I won’t feel guilty. That’s just me.

I believe that if we don’t share the same tastes, we don’t think alike and we need to lead individual lives without interfering with each others’ tastes. In this way, everyone feels free to be herself and himself and comfort is what makes you and I tick.

Complicated, huh?

Welcome to my world.

Understanding anything is not a simple matter. Believe me.

But, there is something that’s really off when your age betrays how aged you are and you are acting like a teenager.

Respect your years.

Even if you don’t respect yourself, at least know that your generation is moving on to better things.

So women who copy their teenage daughters and grandfathers who are Dj’s ,style up!  If you jumped a stage, don’t gross people out by over-compensating! You are offering the younger generation a terrible example.

I don’t know what to expect from these youngsters. But, let me remain positive. That’s not my job to know. I’m taking on a higher power’s responsibility and it is mind numbing! He knows best!

As always, take the good in every age and in this post, and leave the bad.
