"100 Years"
I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
I'm 22 for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way
A family on my mind
I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy, Time to lose yourself
Within a morning star
15 I'm all right with you
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
Half time goes by
Suddenly you’re wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...
I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you’re on your way
Every day's a new day...
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

Getting Older
A poem by Peter S. Quinn
Everyone is getting older
Step by step I feel
Looking afar behind my shoulder
Is this time for real?
Dreams are always locking the way
Nothing to return to
Here comes yet another day
Both for me and you
Everyone has words to tell
Their thoughts in saying
We are in this moment's spell
Every departure weighing
Anything you do is of past
In its onward going
Hoping it will for sometime last
Though not really knowing
Everyone is just like me
Whishing for their dream to stand
We have ways and liberty
Each at our moment’s command
Yesterdays were once in flowers
Seed by seed they’d grow
Now we have this morning showers
Where shall the future go?
And you were expecting a chicken coop!
I think my new tattoo is almost healed. It's been just over a week and it's itchy. It was nice out again today, nice enough for me to put my suit on and sit on the back deck without freezing so here you have it. I wore this bathing suit bottom when I got it and realized it is a lot lower than most of my other suits so it may only show a bit. Eh.
Here you will see the artist doing the work.
So SM. Just what about it can't you believe? I'm curious. That I got a tattoo at all? Or at my age? Where it is located? The design? Tell me. . .
SKC? Your issue? Perhaps that I said I would never get a tattoo at all? Like I said, I guess one should never say never.
CVP? Your comment? P1280397
Sex after 50 can still be full of surprises. In fact, it can be even better than ever! Dr. Lori Bisbey explains why.

well I have about 1739 reasons (or 2799 metric reasons) why I am crabby today. it's my birthday and i'm in a different city from Ness. stupid work! So this is what I look like today, stamping around with my little head antennea sticking up.
Also, I'm not convinced these are actually blue friendship bands.

I do truly wonder about myself...I needed to take some SP (which I hate) but I wonder because I get so nervous and stupid about doing it! lol Although my cousin told me all women are psycho (very nice!) But it shouldn't be so stressful, right?
Now I posted 3 here, and you can see how an angle, light and crop can make or break it :) This one is my favorite, I had no make up on yet, thank god for photoshop(the most expensive makeup!) ..kidding. I left everything as I am just softened up the light.
One of my friend once took some for me and took out my freckles..I told him that was cheating, the freckles came with me! lol Although I did smooth out under my eyes a bit, cause those didn't come with me, they just came!! hahaha The urge to take out the wrinkles in the last one was great (they showed most in that one)!
I hope everyone is enjoying this late india summer after all the rain we have had.
Be well my friends and thank you for always making time to stop by.

I didn't have any chalk to outline crime scene, but it looked brutal. More urban crime in a boring strip mall. Norwalk, CA
I haven't been on my bike as much as I would like lately. Mainly the issue is that training indoors has reached a hitherto unknown level of tedium. I've also been thinking about how and why I ride a lot.
I've read a couple articles in the last six months about how the change in cycling culture in the US would benefit from more casual riders and fewer "lycra louts" (a British term I believe) and how making space for bicycles separate from cars has many positive impacts.
I'm never going to be a racer and I'm never going to look good in lycra so maybe I should be more laid back in my approach. This year I hope to ride just for the fun of it. Let's face it, I'm just Another Fat Guy In Lycra.

For Lu
I was having a really really rough day today - everybody wants to fight with me: life, photography, ex-friends, even my own chemistry.
I got home after a horrible day, only to find a registered letter from those evil women who stole my play. They are now saying that they hold the copyright and all the rights to put it on anytime they want - and owe me nothing.
I felt bruised to the core - betrayed and hurt, bleeding from the insides.
AS the evening progressed, turning the camera onto myself, and I thought of Lu and how she inspires me...
This is for you Lu
She is a flickr friend who I am going to meet in Toronto as we make our road trip to Detorit. Her honesty and beauty make me understand how I need to love myself more, and look to the warrior woman inside for strength and and my own voice.

This country is not kind to aging (even though there are a hell of a lot of us) and there are fortunes being made convincing us geezers that the right hair dye, clothes, skin cream, or little blue pill will let us recapture our lost youth. Get over it. Face it and embrace it! I try to make these self-portraits as true to the way I am now as I can( warts and all).

As my family grows old, I have started to be more exposed to information I haven't had been before. Diabetes and hypoglycemia are really big among the elderly in particularly. Please, if you like this inforgraphic share it with you friends. Let's raise diabetes awareness.
Lifestyle age progression. I aged Claire 20 years for SHE magazine according to her lifestyle which was pretty healthy on the whole.
I aged Jacquie 20 years for SHE magazine according to her lifestyle which had been pretty bad though she'd made drastic changes to her diet and exercise pattern. Lifestyle age progression.
We used to get photo booth photos about once a year at the K-Mart until they took the photo booth away. Bummer! Anyway, I have a bunch of these. I made this collage of those old pics from 1987 (or '88) combined with some photos of Mickey and Gabe in the last couple of years. I love seeing how they've changed .... and, um ... not changed!
"I threw a pebble in a brook,
And watched the ripples run away,
And they never made a sound.
And the leaves that are green turned to brown,
And they wither with the wind,
And they crumble in your hand."
