When I'm 75 I'm not going sit around moping because I'm not scoring 20 year old chics. I'm going to be kicking str8ups *ss at lawnbowling and banging my 40 year old nurse or something.

Feel old if you wish.

I'm 43, and having the time of my life. It's all about attitude.

My focus has changed... I've got more important things to take care of now.. like getting custody of my son.

Thanks for the reply.
