waltappel 1 #1 August 7, 2006 I was putting gas in my car yesterday and in the fillup lane next to me was a shiny new minivan with "Stayin' Alive" blasting like hell. For you younguns, Stayin' Alive was an extremely popular song by the Beegees in the era of Disco. Anyway, I was wondering who the fuck was blasting that song, figuring it was a young person with a truly twisted mind who had discovered disco music. Lo and behold, though, it was a gray-haired middle-aged guy. Maybe he just hadn't heard the song in a long time and really liked it, but to me it seemed to absolutely reek of middle age crisis and wow, if that's what middle age crisis looks like, it ain't pretty!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease help me avoid it!!! I know I have no prayer at all of aging in any kind of dignified way, but I really don't want to go through that kind of thing. Have you ever had a middle age crisis? If so, what age did it start at and what kind of irrational thoughts did you have and what kind of weird things did you do? Were you married at the time? Any kids? Did you get divorced? Any good middle-age crisis stories? Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
