Curvy Jones on: When All Else Fails, Do a Meme!
I think I have blogged myself out the last few weeks, what with my self indulgent retrospect. However, I don’t want to fall in the habit, again, of not blogging, so I present to you a istybitsyteenyweeny… meme. I stole it from someone. Can’t remember who. Oh well.
1. How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?
33. I swear I was 33 for 2 years before I realized that I actually get a year older as birthdays pass. I think 33 is the perfect age for men and women… old enough that the things you say have some cred, but not in your mid or late 30′s and so people don’t look at you with sad eyes and start to whisper about ‘old maids’ and ask questions like, “So… you just never wanted to date…. or???” like this whole process is completely up to me and I just walk outside my door to the Man Tree and pick me a ripe one.
Who, me? Bitter? Nah!
2. Which is worse, failing or never trying?
I would so like to say never trying. I would. But I have failed and that shit blows. It makes me never want to try again, ever. So. Failing. Not to say that I don’t still try, and that I am always successful… just that failing SUCKS and so I avoid doing it at all costs.
3. If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do?
My only guess is obligation. No one wants to be Mrs Mean Girl, or Mr Not Nice Guy. We do things because we ‘should’ and not because we want to. There are a lot of things I do, simply because I am obligated to… and let’s be frank about it. Sometimes married people wake up and don’t ‘feel married’, but God Bless it, if they go look at their marriage certificate, they most certainly ARE married, so act like you like it and get with the program!
4. When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
Yes. So? Hmph. I say a lot. I say I am going to do a lot of things that I don’t do. I have poor follow through. I don’t think that being all ‘self actualized’ makes it all better, but at least I know that I do this and can work on it. I think I am better now than I used to be. Progress. Wrote a song about it. Like to hear it? Here it go.
5. What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the world?
Mean people suck. We don’t all have to be best friends but… guh. Why are people so mean???

I thought I could use this meme to post somewhere too, but I don’t even get the first question. Even if I didn’t know my age, I’d still be this age so what’s the point? LOL
The other questions just make my head hurt even more. I’mma pass ;-)
Whaaaaat? They’re not…. that…. hard… lol!
“But I have failed and that shit blows.”
That right there literally made me LOL.
#4 … I already have said more than I’ve done. In fact, I’ve said so much more than I’ve done, the done won’t ever catch up. ;-)
Love your answers! Can I steal them ;-)
Fun!
I like your theory about being 33. I think when my birthday rolls around this year I’ll be 33 again.
33′s fun! :D
