ya know--im a tad tired of the supposed
"compliment" on "looking good for my age"
and theres usually that qualifier there
at the (ahem) ancient age of 35.
35 is not old folks--so get over it!
is there any fucking way in particular
that one is supposed to look at 35?
i have no idea.
this shit wears a bit thin on me.

Good God. Please overreact unnecessarily to a compliment.
Take a look around at your peers, and you'll see why people are surprised that you are 35. A lot of people don't take very good care of themselves. It's hard to tell when someone is eighteen, but decades down the road, somebody who smokes, drinks, overeats, and doesn't wear sunscreen or something like that will be fat, wrinkled, and pockmarked and such. Understandable, but not very attractive.
I would argue that it's much more annoying to be mistaken for 12 all the time. I routinely get handed kid's menus at restaurants and laughed at when I try to buy beer. I'm 21. As an apology, people always say "You'll be grateful for looking young when you are forty". Assuming I don't go gray at 25 like my dad or some shit like that.
Anyway, I know how pet peeves are, but settle down.
You're a knockout, and I doubt that will ever change.

Look at how many times I edited that. My goodness.
So a year later, and more mentally stable, I would not have written that, mainly because Frank Scott said exactly the same thing, but nicer, days before me. Secondly, I would have phrased what I initially said differently. Saying something like 'you look good for 35' sounds like a backhanded compliment, as in 'you can walk really well for having fallen down the stairs recently'. What I meant was you are really attractive, and you look like you are 28 at the most, so it's pleasantly surprising to hear you are actually 36.
I'm unbelievably open minded about age, to the point where it weirds some of my friends out. I had a crush on this girl I used to work with, thinking she was in her late 20s, early 30s maybe. She's actually over forty, and has a daughter that is only 5 years younger than me. Wow. God that was fun.
I completely understand your reaction, and it was justified. Sorry.
all the best,
Jon

I like it !! 
ma2:
the artwork is really interesting. what are the intended dimensions and what is it done on (I'm thinking in terms of paper/process -giclee print on a fine tooth watercolor paper maybe)? whenever I see something online I'm always wondering how it's intended to look when presented -part of my love/hate relationship with technology, lol.

lately i have found myself in hyper reclusive
mode once again. i do realize the irony of
posting this to the www for all to read.
however let it be known i primarly keep
a journal for my own self-referential fodder.
i know this.
a series of events has transpired that
has been creating more distrust of my fellow
humans recently for me....

other a successful ceramics
artist also quite interesting
to chat with.

I always thought that would be an interesting job. Plus the networking possibilities are endless. I'm sooooo bad at the whole networking think!
journey to humbling reflection
my trip to the east coast was a very humbling
experience for me. it was educational for me in
many ways to see what lies down the
road for all of us.
not one of us going to live forever.
nothing can save any of us
from our own demise.
i feel its best to see the truth of our
mortality...

Hi...no disrespect intended ...I guess it reminded me of my own situation some years ago going back home and feeling slightly foreign in an older persons world...the old clock chiming every fifteen minutes and the routines that become a persons life , different to your own ...hope I havent offended you here as i can wholeheartedly relate to your experiences and your agony ...saw a peculiar beauty about your description which you [ as it turns out now] mustnt have been aware of ...anyhow good luck and only my best wishes.
Check out my pics. That may be my way of journaling. Whatcha think of my fav SGs too?
Ha! I sent you messages on all your portals! That I know about. r-e-s-p-e-c-t
