It has begun..

Actually it probably began some years ago but I’m only now willing to admit it. I was driving into work this morning listening to my iPod. I just recently updated the song list on it so was enjoying some new tunes. Then it dawned on me. I was listening to “Save a horse, ride a cowboy” by Big’n’Rich. A COUNTRY song! I was mortified. Now people who know me know that I have ALWAYS hated country music. Even so called “new” country (which I still think the title is a load of crap) was garbage and meant for old people. But it would appear that I had hit a crossroad in my life but not seeing any posted signs, drove right through it without realizing it! Now I know there are probably some people out there reading my blog who have ALWAYS liked country and can’t see the problem. To those people out there I have this to say. You STILL have a lame taste in music! Just so happens I’m developing the same lame taste. Now I’m not a die hard fan still. I have no intention of getting myself a cowboy hat or painting the back windshield of my car with a confederate flag or something stupid like that. But I am willing to admit that I’m slowly losing touch with today’s music which, as we ALL know, is a sign of age. I still listen to new groups coming out and new songs, but I’m finding I download and listen to the stuff that I grew up with more and more which are sadly starting to get labels such as “oldies” and “classics”.

I’m also starting to wonder what other characteristics I’m displaying that groups me together with the “older” crowd? Do I have more hair growing in my ears then on my head? Am I dressing more and more for comfort and not for style (actually I can pretty much guarantee that last one)? Having kids now a days doesn’t mean you’re getting older anymore which is kind of sad when you think about it. Blech.. so much to think on!!

And I have the TIME to think on all this because I got an old persons injury (tendonitis in my hand) and have been put on restrictions at work! I don’t know if this camels back is broken but it most certainly is a sway back at this point..
