The Midlife Crisis

Oh... jogging and doing your hair is no midlife crisis glatt. you'll see soon when the real crisis hits. Sorry.

As for me, it started at about 38 and I'm still in it at 44. When act 2 ended, I had: divorce, business failure, political readjustment, financial near-ruin, and a period of lethargy, confusion and weight gain. Act 3 begins with a fiancee, a job that kinda no longer suits me, and playing out in bands.

I have lost my certainty at how the world operates, and gained a kind of humility. I have realized how mortality operates (I am going to fuckin DIE and every day that point gets CLOSER!) and how you systematically ignore it in your 20s and 30s. I am at once more comfortable with myself, and less.
