I used to be the first guy to walk around shirtless (along the river, not on the street!) on a hot summer day. But now I wouldn't even wear a tank top in public. Age really does seem to trigger some irrational switches in your brain. It's probably not unlike the tendency for older women to cut their hair short, adopt lots of cats, wear turtlenecks and wear Mom jeans.

Getting old sucks.

Getting old does suck, indeed! However, I've always been embarrassed by my body. When I was about 8, a neighbor girl was going through pictures, with my Mom... and my Mom showed her one, of me as a naked baby, and I was HORRIFIED. The thought of her seeing my little baby weiner, just embarrassed me, beyond belief.

And now, even....I don't know. Even though I'm considered thin now, I'm still embarrassed ~somewhat~ to be shirtless in the daytime. Last summer, there were many pool parties at my house, with most people being 18-25. My pool was in half the young people's Facebook profiles, in this town! But I look back, at all those pics, and I realize, the difference that just time has made on my body. Even if I weigh the same as them, our bodies are....just different.

Question - can years of weighing considerably more than this, CHANGE the size of my ribcage? Because I feel like my ribcage is too large for the rest of my body, now. And if it did indeed change that, I wonder if years of being thinner, could allow it to return....?

These are the deep issues, that I ponder.

And btw, I've been VERY horny, the past couple of days.
