Putting off growing up and the consquences

Today I saw a man that has to be about 55 years old riding on a Razor Scooter. He had on a Hawaiian shirt that looked like it was from the Magnum P.I. days. He has passed by the apartment before but today he had on a neon sun visor. It was that see through plastic with the white trim. He had his socks pulled up to his knees. I think I wore an outfit like that to field day in elementary school.

I judged him on his appearance and thought that he was too old to be riding that scooter.

That’s when I realized that I am turning into a victim of South Georgia and the anything over 21 is old syndrome. My dad calls it "Southern Belle Syndrome".

I need some assistance!

Someone tell me how to just kick responsibilities to the side.

I’d really love to know how it is done.

I have been trying to shake the damn things for a few years now.

I’m getting older and they keep mounting.

I’d like to ignore them. The way I do people’s phone calls.

It just doesn’t seem to work that way.

I seem to be dwelling on money or the lack of it a lot these days. I thought I was someone who believed a bank account doesn’t make you happy. I am finding my lack of funds to be downright depressing.

I think I am turning into my parents. A perfect blend like the chocolate/vanilla swirl they serve at the Golden Corral.
