Welcome To Fifty Five Is The New!

Hello out there!
What's it to you, turning the age of Fifty-five? You don't have to be turning it tomorrow, you could have already turned that corner a while back. That part doesn't matter so much.
While it's important what one feels, what matters most of all that one feels, that one feels anything at all.
So, as an exercise in self-examination and a way of getting over an incredible writer's block, I submit this blog to the World Wide Web, and I submit myself to a bit of mirror gazing.
Inspired by the movie "Julie & Julia," I will blog for one year, which will include my turning fifty-five, and see what I find.
Who knows? Maybe fifty-five will be something fantastic...like the New Me.

Numbers

Numbers, numbers....we're all numbers!  From our date of birth through our Social Security data, we are processed and packaged, branded and boxed into categories that are designed to make us predictable and easy to count....easy to govern.

I'm not one of those conspiracy theorists, but there's a lot going on in the area of herding people and making their lives fit into certain molds. I know some of it is because there are so many of us...but I wonder if it's been taken just a tad too far. 

My hope is that we don't some day wake up to Number-Names rather than the interesting monikers we humans give ourselves.

So for today, Fifty Five is the New Numbers...the one that allows for individuality.  Long live the fingerprint!
