hello. i'm honored to be your first post.

1. how old are you really?
2. you must post a pic so i see who i'm talking to, otherwise, this will be my only post. i mean that in the nicest possible way.
3. i'm older too. perhaps that's why i seem less....um.....less.......well, whatever it is that the "young people" are. haha
4. are you sure you're not a former member who was posting to me before?

your pic should appear immediately. you may have the file too large--it has to be.....um....i'm not sure, but i think it's around 100kb or something. i'm sure it says when you go to post it.

i'll check back tomorrow. i've gotta get to sleep soon--work in the a.m.

you figured out how to post a pic! good job.
i don't email people---only sometimes, after we've been pals for a very long time.
eisenhower, eh? why would you want to be here, with all 20-somethings? hmmm.

okay, excuse me for being dense. there are too many ways to reply here! do i reply to you in your journal or mine? which thread are we BOTH watching?

i don't know why i'm here. clearly out of my league. but i have SOME connection with the energy and openness. late babyboomers don't understand the joy of being yourself.

eisenhower or not, i have no interest in putting on chinos and a golf shirt and driving my suv over to andrew and muffy's country club for cocktail hour. just don't. 45 year olds are just fucked up and don't "get it."

i'm happier walking to the co-op in my tevas, where i'll find my 20-something neighbors. or hanging with the 20-something newly-recovering tattoo canvases at muddy waters down the street. real people who think openly.

(i admit i don't get the music. but i've never been a music person anyway.)

it's about openness and not being a poser and not letting what feels good and right slip away because i'm "supposed to be" someone else.

make sense?

why are you paranoid and afraid of shadows and protective of yourself?

and are you up at 3 in the morning for work or 'casue you couldn't sleep?
