I like lofi's mentality. A lot!
Over the last year I've worked at a factory (earlier I used to run studio things and try to survive with the money I got) and it's my longest 'real' job so far. I'm 29, so I'm far from the mid-age but they talk about the 30'ies chrisis. When I go out, I go to clubs with around 20y old youngs; Not because of them being young, but the music they like.. it's mostly what I also like, although I think the youngs have become lazier and unenergetic in compared to past years (no more hardcore raves, the tempo is half of that these days). I think they sometimes think I'm an old fart (not in your eyes though but don't think it that way for your own sake), especially when I think how I used to feel about near 30'ies when I was 20 sharp, but I don't think I'm any older than they are... I'm very comfortable in that crowd, and I find myself thinking I'm 21.
The REASON why we SHOULD think we are heaps lot younger, is regarding our own health. There was just lately an experiment with having 70-80 year old men put inside a hotel, which was renovated all around to look just like the 1980ies, and they were held in there for a week and told to think as if it was the 1980ies. After the week their relatives and friends got to examine their old mates and the results were stunning; Many claimed their 70/80 year old pap was looking a lot younger and energetic than before. The test persons also had gained healthy benefits, one of them being no pain from arthritis on wrists.
There was a 99 year old danish granny on a documentary on TV just lately. Very bright, humoristic and in-to-life type of an old woman. She had 99th birthday party and said to guests "what... 99? you got that wrong, it is 29." Her drive and thrill in to life, thinking positive and the young attitude were the key in living a successful and long life despite the bad things she had gone through (ie. a pyroman burning their house and her husband 40 years earlier but she doesn't think about it).
My grand mother is 81. She's a type of woman we call a "iron-granny" taking booze sometimes a bit too much and raving about the cleaning of house and so on. She doesn't think she's old. I don't think she's old. And still as she's not old, she would think you guys are nice young boys.
SO! Do not think you are middle aged. The number is only a number. It is what's inside our mind and heart that counts.
It's never too late to start living your dream, it's a matter of going for it. If you don't get there, at least it's a really nice ride!
