Mid life crisis anyone?

Is it just me or does everyone fear the mid life crisis?

Mix FM premiered the John Travolta movie wild hogs last night…with Travolta, Tim Allen, William H Macy and Martin Lawrence all living out their mid life crises on the back of Harley Davidsons.

I looked up mid life crisis on the net – it’s apparently an emotional state of doubt and anxiety in which a person becomes uncomfortable with the fact their life is probably half way done.

The condition usually hits between the ages of 35 and 50, and affects men and women differently. Mid life crises last about 3-10 years in men and 2-5 years in women, but length may vary in some people.

I have seen a few beauties played out. My cousin got a nose ring for her fortieth birthday – her husband took up road racing on his bike and died his hair Billy Idol white at 50 – and no – it didn’t look very good – still doesn’t five years later.

My dad bought a bigger boat….Michael Douglas left Diandra for Catherine Zeta Jones…

John's sister Jan (and I hope she's reading this) just bought a convertible...very cool.

I don’t think I’ve had my crisis yet but they say the people most likely to suffer the crisis are those who married early – and I married when I was 20 so I'm a good chance. And when it happens, I'm not ruling out a motor bike being involved.

I mentioned getting motor bike licences to John recently...I don't think we were on the same page with that...but I'll let you know how I go. xx
