Thinking Old!?

I had a strange thought........as I often do when stoned.

I actually thought, that as a younger man, I must have been misguided.  I honestly believed that I could function as a "normal" person.....while high. 

I only come to this realization after an incident at work today.  It was late in the evening, providing some technical support for a customer as BruthaMan and I do on occasion.  I was just starting to come down from a buzz, of course, the customer engages us for support.  To make a long story short, it was during this "crisis", although not especially confusing when you get to brass tacks, it was confirmed that I am not at my sharpest when working while high.

I am 49, people keep telling me I'm old.  My doctor, BruthaMan, Daughter, Son and of course The Better Half.  I don't feel especially old.  I've always said that I'm a 19 year old in a 49 year old man's body.

As younger people are wont to do, we feel (and I say we because  I'm still 19 at heart, remember) invincible.  That nobody can tell when they're stoned or drinking.  I know I certainly did and still do to a degree.  Tonight's incident only re-inforces the fact that I can tend toward near FREAKOUT stage when presented with a poser of a problem.

Does that mean I'm not invicible and by extension getting old as everyone keeps telling me?

I say no.  I say maybe I can't smoke it and function in a work environment as I once believed I could, maybe I take a little longer to recover.  Listen to this song, It just makes me stronger!! 

I still feel 19.... and will until the day I die.
