The Mirror
I went to the Barber today for the first time in a long time. As from the pic I had posted you can tell I kept my head shaved. Well, I had gotten lazy and let it grow. It was about an inch long. Now for me that is long.
Anyways, as I sat in the chair, I looked into the mirror. Now around here the only mirrors are in the shower trailers. When I go to shower I never go to the mirror. Why would I? I shave in the mornings with an electric razor. No mirror needed. Now I am sitting right in front of a large mirror. I could not believe what I saw. I saw bags under the eyes that were hardly open and the wrinkles that have appeared. I saw a tired and aging me. I sent my wife some photos the other day. After she got them she said you look so tired. I said yes I am. But after looking at the pics again I saw what I saw in the mirror. I am getting old and quick. Now whether my wife saw this and wanted to be nice and say you look tired instead of, DAMN! You are getting old!!!! I do not know. If she did, I say thank you to her.
My wife is older than I am. She looks younger than me. This is a very good thing. My wife is very beautiful. As for myself, I look to be in my 40s. I know this because people tell me BULLSHIT when I tell them how old I am. Their response is, I thought you were 43 or 44 yr old. I usually say a couple of unloving words and walk off.
Now I am trying to quit smoking. Some days are good and others are, well let’s say I could smoke a concrete barrier. It gets that bad. When it does, I find a cigarette. It is better for me to smoke a cigarette than kill someone, right?
I am taking Zyban to help me quit. I have not been taking it long enough to start working yet so, I am doing it on my own right now. I have smoked for 21 years. I need to quit.
Well off I go. I am going on a 7 day field trip. (YEA I WISH)
Until next time.
