41 is half a life ...

41 . that's right . XXXXI if you're roman . 31 if you're female , attractive and young .
so what does it mean to be 41 . don't feel 41 . definitely don't think i look it ( although i'm sure someone will challenge that ) . do i feel twice as smart as when i was 20 ? absolutely , although at 20 i knew everything , or was it that i just thought i did . many times smarter than @ 20 . more open minded ? more laid back ? yes . less naive . yes . i suppose it's around this time that everyone takes seriously the fact that they're in the last half of their life now , there's no time to let things pass you by , the sand in the hourglass is already mostly in the bottom . don't take this the wrong way . i've no negative emotions about my age simply a realism that if i want to attain , do or achieve certain things then i have to make the decisions and commitment necessary to make them happen .
the only thing that scared me was putting my pic through the transformer tool and out came the old me looking like my 75 yr old mother does now !
