Me Thinks It Must Be an Age Thing

Does one's ability to give a s@&t diminish as you age?  Or is it that you learn as you get older to give a s@&t about the things that matter and as you get older you realize more and more what matters.  I tend to be pretty laid back and run on an even keel most of the time.  I am realizing that things that used to piss me off ain't even worth a second thought anymore.  I am also realizing that there are some things I just don't have time for.  There are far more important things that deserve my attention rather than pissant petty remarks from people that seem to be disturbed by my activities.  My personal feeling is until I am asking you to support my going, drinking, smoking or whatever the hell it is that I am doing then it really is none of your business.  Popular opinion is that since I work for myself (job 1) that I have all the money anybody could want and I only work when I want to.  I appreciate the fact that this job gives me flexibility with my schedule (it allows me to work jobs 2 & 3) it doesn't mean that I don't work just as hard as anybody else.  In other words it is my business, not your's.  There are just alot of things that I don't have the time or energy for because there are far more important things to me that are worth my time and energy.  And guess what if they are not the same things that are important to you that is ok.  It doesn't make me or you either one right or wrong.  It just is what it is.  I am reminded of a quote that I saw a couple of weeks ago, "there are those people when they discover the center of the universe are going to be sorely disappointed that they are not it."  I am also reminded of another, "It's your road and your's alone.  Other's may walk it with you but no one can walk it for you."   Now I have said my peace and counted to three, I feel better.  Of course some of the reason that I feel better is that I have been talking to Dumbass during this particular rant and that always helps.  Have a great day or night depending on where you are.
