The Older I Get the Younger Age Is

Last week the world lost a teen idol. Davy Jones. He was a Monkee. That is Monkee, not monkey for you young ones out there. The Monkees were formed in the mid 1960's as America's and TVs answer to The Beatles. (If I have to tell you who they were please read no further I simply have no time for you.) The Monkees were the first "boy band" and Davy was the heart throb. There was Davy the sweet, cute, heart throb, Micky the funny one, Peter the flower child and Mike the quiet one. I of course am not one to fall for sweet and cute so I was a Micky girl...but that is neither here nor there.
Davy died of a heart attack last week at the age of 66. When talking about this the media, and friends of mine, comment that he was too young. While I heartily agree with this statement it got me to thinking when did 66 years old became young? Don't get me wrong I am delighted!! Betty White makes even 90 look young so 66 being young is a delightful thing to ponder. Being a woman of an nondescript age means that the future looks young and bright!
In 1966 when the Monkees were formed I was...lets just say a pre teen and let it go at that. Back then no one trusted anyone over 30. Back then senior citizen was 65+ If a women was pregnant at 40 it was a scandal. Look at us now. Lots of woman typically put off having children until they are older. You get your AARP card at age 50 and 66 is widely considered to be young by a majority of the people. That is nice.
But somewhere inside of me my childhood is shedding tears for the innocence that was my life way back when I had pictures of The Monkees all over my bedroom. It was a simple time and the best part was the 2 nights a week when I could sit down and hear Hey Hey We're the Monkees....life was good...and I was young....but luckily I still am!  RIP dear Davy Jones.

Why Do FOOLS Fall in Love and Post on FACEBOOK?

Sweet darlings, please tell me why it seems only fools fall in love? I, of course, am no fool and I have not been in love for years, if ever. I would love to have the stars in my eyes and the butterflies in my stomach but right now I am simply too busy for such things. But even if I were to fall in love I am quite sure that I would not fall for the egotistical nonsense that I see around me.

As I look around at all these new fangled things on the Internet it occurs to me that there are fools all over the place. Back in the golden days when in love one would say that they wanted to shout it from the mountain tops. That would be quite acceptable as one would climb to the top of a mountain and once there shout, "I am in love with...." well whom ever it was. They would then descend the mountain and go about their lives. Only those within shouting distance of the mountain would hear this proclamation of love or perhaps an echo would repeat the phrase. But that would be that. Lives would go on. The loved ones would go about their business and no one would have to suffer.

Now we have Facebook. Fools go here and publish post after post of lovey-dovey nausea. We are not only subjected to the fact that people are in "relationships" but we are forced to read over and over again the comments that can only be cute to the involved couple or to grade school children.
I do not care that you are watching movies with your cuddle bunny. I do not need to know that you and your sweetheart think each other are adorable. Please spare the world your cutesy poo names for each other. Please stop the posts!! No one cares!! I get so tired of people posting on line every single little thing they do. It is not a diary! If you want to post everything you think get a BLOG. That is what they are for.

People in the SAME HOUSE post that their hubby is wonderful or that the wife is making dinner. Do we really need to know this mundane information? If your partner is wonderful wouldn't it be nice if you walked up to them and told them? If you are not feeling well shouldn't your loved one walk into your room and tell you that they hoped you feel better, not post this wish on line? At the very least they can call you on the phone if they are not at home. Besides if you live with someone shouldn't you know how they feel without having to get updates on the Internet?

Please forgive me for ranting but I cannot take it any longer. I just want to shake these people or force them to sit and read every minute of my glorious day. Maybe then they would understand how completely boring and annoying they are.

If you are in love please go to your loved one and tell them in person. If you must type it out then send a private message to your love. Isn't that the point anyway? To be intimate?  Isn't that what the wonder of being in love is all about?

I promise you my darlings that when I am in love I will not bore you with the details. I will simply climb a mountain and shout it.

Greetings My Darlings

Good gracious, it is a new year. Where DOES the time go? I sometimes feel like I go to bed and I am 18 years old and I wake up and look in the mirror and scare myself! How did that woman get in my house!?! Mornings and mirrors are not kind, Darlings.

It has been 2012 for a week. I do not make resolutions because I do not like disappointing myself. But I am going to try to be a little more healthy with the things I do and things I eat. Inspite of myself  I am not getting any younger and we do  need to take a little better care of ourselves as we "mature", right? I was going to say "age" but that sounds like we are cheeses and if I were to be compared to a food I prefer it be something a little more mysterious than a piece of cheese.

A little face lift...oh dear not ME...my house, is in order. The back wall of the dining room which was a terra cotta color for years is now a lovely, cheerful daffodil yellow! I know it may sound a little shocking but it is quite lovely and friendly. It says "Hello world!" Isn't that how we all need to be? "Hello World!" More changes are in order but this is a dandy start!

I thought I would blog because I have so many opinions on everything that I felt I should write them all down to share with those whose opinions are not correct. Ha ha. Yes...it is true! There are people out there who are wrong. Bless their hearts.

Enough of my sitting here typing. One can always sit and do nothing when they are dead. I must get up and get living!! So my Darlings, get up and go make a difference today! Just say "Hello World".
