"When you young you like 'em old, and when you're old, you like 'em young, yea, you know where I'm coming from..."

-Young Neef of the Young Gunz

Like my friend Jason, I, too, believe that I am an enigma. I must be, because now, I'm on the other end of the spectrum. Now, I'm getting people telling me that I am too old looking and that I should do things to be younger. What the hell does that mean? Suddenly, looking mature is OLD? Who died and crowned you the ruling authority on what is old? I believe that people are as old as they feel. I've known cases where people have gotten 6 years younger instantly, because they realized their true age.

What does getting older mean, anyway? Anything you can do when you're old, you can do when you're young. I'm not some invalid, unable to move or communicate. I am a young MAN and dammit, if I wanna look the way that God naturally tended for me to, then I will. If you got a problem with that, it's a cross you have to bear. Don't try to pin your hangups on me.
