Midlife crisis?

[Mr. DS]

This isn't really a crisis story but its more of a realization that getting older doesn't always suck.  I feel there comes a point when we cross the threshhold into adulthood. I had a coming of age moment at an Ozzfest a few years ago.  I was around a bunch of teenagers who wore all black, had their hair dyed and cut in ridiculous fashion and were filled with angst.  They looked up to these rock stars like they were the gods.  The rock stars stood for the same ideals they believed in such as anti-establishment, anti-capitalism, anti-society, etc.  One glance over to the booth selling Ozzy slippers for $25.00 I realized how idiotic and stupid this "counter culture" was.  Everyone looked the same at the concert so why should any of them feel different.  I haven't been to a modern rock concert since then.  As Ralphie in A Christmas Story said after his decoder ring moment, I went out to face the world again, wiser.

I do feel sometimes I could do more with my life career wise but I can't complain too much.  I try to live as much as I can in the moment.  I do enjoy what I do and I try to enjoy every moment with my family that I can. As Cheeze mentioned you have to really do something you enjoy.
