Must Be Another One of Those Age Things

It really must be another one of those age things.  Anyway, it is my lie and I will tell it the way I want to.  I don't know when I got such a sassy mouth.  And, for those of you who know me well there is no comment necessary here!  But I find myself being called Smartass on a fairly frequent basis.  Even Dumbass called me a smartass the other day!  And as we all know, nobody likes a smartass.  Oh well!  It is what it is.  Kinda like the girlfriend I was talking with the other day and she was talking about the ups and downs in her relationship with her fella.  My response after telling her she deserved better and that if he really cared then he wouldn't treat her like that was to tell her she could learn to enjoy that roller coaster ride or just get the hell off.  Sounds like good advise to me.  When I told another friend about having a 2nd date with my gentleman friend she asked me if he knew I was a smartass yet?  Ain't that just funny!  I think it is.  I mean seriously!  Why be so serious?  There are times for it but far too many people are overly serious about far too many things.  Lighten up people and enjoy life!  There is enough crap in it to deal with without taking trivial drivel and making it a world crisis.  Not that that is what either friend was doing when I gave my advice (which was asked for by the way, that is normally the only way you get it).  But I seem to notice people in general panic over just everyday run of the mill stuff.  Yes, an unexpected car repair is a pain in the ass but it is not the end of the world!  That is just one small example.  I guess what I am saying is, "don't sweat the small stuff" and most of it is small stuff compared to what others have to deal with.  My yardstick of measurement is, "did the earth stop turning?"  Uh, no, so get it together and get on with it.  Boy howdy, when I sat down here and started typing I really didn't see all this coming.  Oh, and we are at over 1600 views now so Thank All of Ya'll!  Have a great one!
