Its almost 2am. Just wanted to check in real quick to say hello. Today was a good day again. Uneventful though. Remember that receptionist from my job that I blogged about last year? If not, then you need to catch up. Go back and read my old stuff.
Well, she is an extraordinary person. She is 90 now and she is very energetic and all there.
I think old people are disrespected and discriminated against so much that its so normal to make jokes about them. I don't think its right. She is a prime example that stereotypes about elder people are just that...just stereotypes and nothing more.
Why do people make fun of old people? We are all headed in that direction. Why are people so hesitant to say there real ages. I see it all the time on myspace, etc when people hide their real ages, etc. Why?
With all this stuff about 30s being the new 20s and 60s being the new 40s, you'd think we'd be over this by now. I mean do you rather die young or grow old?
People need to grow up. Whenever I tell people I'm 30 they always say "you look 23" or something of that nature as if looking 23 is the pinnacle of living. Have you seen what 30 looks like now?
Look at Cameron Diaz, JLo, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Aniston, Gabrielle Union...hell I'd rather look like these ladies in their 30s than most 20 somethings I see nowadays.
But I love you 20somethings out there...don't get me wrong...just grow up.
until then...
(maybe I'm not having a good day afterall...im sleepy ya'll...g'nite)
