Crisis? What Crisis?
I don't usually watch The View but I turned on the TV in the background this morning while I was making coffee, and was too lazy to change the channel.
Whoopi Goldberg reported on a study that asked the question, is the male midlife crisis a real phenomenon, or is it just an excuse for men to say, I'm a narcissistic jerk having a meltdown?
I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'.

I just read Wikipedia and swear by every word. According to W, MLC crosses genders and is marked by:
- Alcohol abuse
- Conspicuous Consumption
- Depression
- Special attention to appearance
I often get accused of having a MLC because we bought a certain sports car. I have to say no that's not a MLC crisis thing, that's a the-kids-are-grown-and-now-not-every-friggin-penny-we-make-goes-to-them thing. I would have bought it in my 20s had there not been mouths to feed, mortgages to pay, and play stations to buy.
Geez, I hope that doesn't sound narcissistic.
Personally, I began my mid-life crisis straight out of high school. I figured I wanted to have a REALLY good one, and so I'd have to take a run at it.
In the next couple of years I fully intend to be driving a Corvette, dating a teenager, starting a band, getting a toupee, working at a record store, and getting the Kanji symbol for "freedom" tattooed on the back of my neck where it'll be partly hidden by my new (dyed) ponytail.
Nothing original, you say? Ha! The difference is I'M GOING TO DO THEM ALL AT ONCE!
It'll be a good day, I tells ya. A very good day indeed.
My wife say's I wasted my mid life crises on a dirt bike ! I think I still have time to buy a convertable before I hit mid life!!!
Maybe it happens for a reason: Men get depressed because they don't like the woman they're with and so their body produces a chemical reaction.
They say their lives are depressing and nothing is new under the sun, etc., when really it's an animalistic urge to spill more seed before one dies.
As Mr. Spock would say, fascinating! Comments all from men, and almost all from men I don't know. (And I don't really know Carrington, either.)
What about the women? Am I the only woman who this has happened to? (Not once, but twice. I mean, shit, really.)
