Blue collar over the age of 50
That's me, still working blue collar job above the age of 50.
Physically I can handle it, but for how much longer?
I'm fit, but still, days like today I just feel beat, probably cause worked out yesterday, then had to go to work 'today'.
Just a bit to much for body.
I mean NFL players play one game a week, and spend rest of week recovering, exept for practice, which can be intense, I suppose.
But what of blue collar labor workers who have to pound it 12 hours a day, 10 hours a day, 5-6 days in a row?
Also, saw a lady who's actually 1-2 years younger than me, but just seemed older to me, cause like i said elsewhere on here when one is single, particulalry a male, you always see yourself as still being 19 or 21, and for some reason expect the women of your era to still look that way also.
Not only that, I don't let my hair turn or look grey...so I look younger than I really am, most of the time.
But I'm sure if stopped taking care of self for 2 months, let grey hair grow out on face and head, I'm sure I'd look just as old as everyone else my age.
But to me 'age' is for when lived a full life, I haven't lived a full life yet so I"m not ready to look or embrace age yet.
Time to relax and finish these eggs.

When you're in physical pain, it sometimes feels as if God himself is trying to slay you.

Heard guy on the radio today that said all his best friends have died or are dying
I think for Western males, that 'Kill zone' of age is between 45-55, in that if going to pass or die do to bad habit and health, you'll do so between those ages.
If you don't die between 45-55 that means you got wise, wised up, stopped smoking or drinking, or eating bad food, started exercising ect.
In other words to be a male, in the west, and to live above age 50, it has to be an active measure, particulalry if blue collar.
I'm a tad bit over 50 and I know I've had some scares, the latest being last week, but it was do to 'me', my habits, drinking, diary, inflammation and so forth.
If I wasn't already in decent health I could easily see where I should of or could of passed aways a decade ago when would drink self into obliteran.
Bet ye, if make it to 50, like I have, going forward it has to be an active effort to stay healthy and alive, can't take any time you're alive after the age of 50, for granted if a male living in the West.

Sometimes I can't believe I'm still here, like now, as I was laying down taking a after work nap.
As I lay there, in some kind of odd energy recovery rest on the bed, laying on back, in dull lit room, I was just like to self
'Why are you still even here'?
Hard to explain, it's just that I was just such a meaningless dull moment, empty place, Friday night, fan blowing, and I just felt as if alive without any more purpose.
Just a mood I suppose.

A part of me just wants to say screw everything and just go out with a bang, as in just go ahead and get a muscle car I've always wanted, even though yes, I know, that's a big waste of money! But it just seems all the other things I'm trying to do to earn money just aren't working, money just doesn't seem to be attracted to me, as such I'm just growing older and broker, well that's no fun. I mean why not just one more shot at fun, one more shot at youth, and go ahead and get that new Camero or Dodge Challenger, so many others younger than me already have and are driving, were me, I'm sitting here still trying to be careful with my money, and for what???

Was watching the TV show 'Decades' And I guess long ago they use to have like a annual coupon festival where mainly women showed up and traded coupons, it was crazy. That aside, with me, my shopping is so erratic that not sure if coupons would help me out. But maybe the next time I get some flyers, and they have coupons in them, instead of just throwing them in the trash, maybe I'll see if I could actually save money on something I'd end up buying anyways, I mean why not? And I wonder if like corner stores, convenient stores, like 'Gate', ect, I wonder if they accept coupons?

Online crap gets you nowhere, it's real life stuff that makes a difference.

I feel beat right now.
I worked a long shift today, and just feel beat, I feel my age today....although even when half my age, in the past, I can still remember coming home feeling beat.

Just in a weird spot where no one or nothing in the media appeals to me anymore
When I see people on media now, I just see people who in real life either hate me, demean me, or would never talk to me, so what, just because they're on TV I'm to forget that fact?
But the thing is I use to didn't think that way, I was able to seperate the TV person from the real life person, i just can't do that anymore, or at least it's becoming harder.
Everyone on TV wants me to buy this from them, support them here or there by buying this or that, yet in real life no one buys a thing from me, and could care the less if I live or die.
So this idea that I'm always suppose to feed others with my income, yet no one ever feeds me has been rubbing me wrong lately.
People no longer appear as Stars to me now, when I see them on TV
Now when I see people on TV, I just see them as the person I see in traffic, or at the grocery store, who happens to be on TV.
everyone wants to shine, but no one has ever helped me to shine, so I'm just becoming indifferent to it all now I suppose.
People are obscessed with sitting in front of a camera and being seeing by others, even radio hosts, have cameras set up so people can watch them as they talk...huh, what?
I think Rush started that with the 'diddo cam'.
But at least Rush was sorrounded by love, even as he died, I'm alive, and somewhat healthy, and still can't get that kind of love and affection people showed towards him.
It's all about who your supporting cast is in life I suppose, and I've had a terrible one up to this point.
So as people begin to die off and fade around me, I guess I really could care the less, just as I never mattered to them, all things being equal in the end I suppose.

When a bachelor living alone, you make all sorts of on the spot dishes to get by.
Like I just toasted two pieces of wheat bread, tuna on one, warmed up hamburger meat on the other, added golden raisons to both, and yummy, very good.
Would love to start a poor man's or bachalor man's or persons, recipy book...I should, and maybe will soon.

One thing I do miss about being very much younger, is when younger I can remember always having others I looked up to, for whatever reason, they were your hero's, older siblings, parents, whomever, athletes, Rock Stars, and ect, even older classmates were fun to admire and look up to, that's what made life way more fun to me when younger, cause always had others to look up to in my mind.
Not saying they were always worthy to be looked up to, but when you're younger, you don't think of it like that. ----------------------------------
Now that I'm older, I just really don't look up to anyone anymore, there's no one to look up to anymore, at least not for me, maybe for others, but not for me.
Most of my older TV hero's are dead and gone, older classmates? Who know where they are now, none have ever reached out to me, that's for sure.
I don't know, I just miss that element of life, that being in awe of others, intimidated by older 'Jock' classmates or older hot babes while in school, I miss that feeling, sensation, and it's one that really only comes with being young, at least during me era, young people today, who knows how they interpret things.

Sometimes I think the older you get, you start aging backwards, mentally
I mean like now, now I'm growing my hair out longer than it's ever been, as if trying to recapture youth and vitality, so ye, I'm growing my hair out long now, and it makes me look younger as well, at least to self.
I guess when you get older, you realize that's it, there is no grand opry, so to speak, in that when you get older you just get older, so why not have fun, while you still can when not struggling with life.
I just wish I could find fun people to be around, I'm so socially isolated....but maybe that's what keeps me safe.
But safe can be boring at times.
