My Mid life crisis? Inspired by the Mrs. Obama..

My mid life crisis - Inspired by Mrs Obama..
 First of all I must say for someone who is  50 years old, she looks very good, after raising kids and living such a fast pace life of a Presidents wife. But I admire her because she still has the kind heart and smile we all love and adore and her kids are growing up to be very elegant and beautiful women,., Just like their mother.
 Now for me.. ?? I have been on retirement leave since Nov. 2012 and I have posted many stories about my past , the daily beauty stories , the sports blogs.. My mid life crisis issues. But now that the leave or vacation is about to end.. Feb 28 ,2013 ,, Becomes my official retirement day from the Military and it also falls on one my fb Friend's Sara's B day,, so in essence her birthday and my retirement will be forever be marked.. Now,, like I said I have the Muscle car, I have let my hair grow and I'm lifting weights again as well as dancing and martial arts training.. I'm listening to newer music and enjoying every day likes it Saturday.. The many episodes of beauty stopping traffic and my party antics have either entertained you or say" What the fuck? I mean I'm a middle aged man with grown up kids and a loving wife that is so careful about her image and perception even at parties.. But for me, If its party time. I'm all out.. I know when people first meet me.. they are trying to figure out ? Whats does this guy do for a living and when I tell them I'm in the Navy,, oh,, with that long hair? They are baffled, But I tell the story of being on leave and I'm just transitioning to civilian life. I must say,, at first I thought it would be a easy transition, I mean before I joined the Navy I was a civilian, But then again I was a kid back then, and times have changed.. I mean I still remember 45's records and cassette tapes, in fact I used to own a 8 track system.. hehe, and of course the long feathered back Farrah Fawcett hair, the bell bottoms pants,, well once upon a time the Navy used to issue Bell bottom Dungarees, Man, those were the days,, But times have changed I mean, Now its a different time, and I realized how much I try to bring back the past.. Its over,, the music was good back then.. But today's music is fresher and better.. Maybe not the musicianship , but the sound quality and creativeness is more abundant.. I know I had fun, reliving the past , growing my hair long and driving the retro muscle car.. But now,, I need to be more realistic.. I will soon cut my hair and be the hip guy that I know I am.. I mean I have changed the way I dress, I dress more dressy and less like a teenager, I also take care of my face and hair better. I use all the girly products my wife and best friend use, Why? well why not? Whats wrong with a man with a nice complexion and shiny thick hair.. I know you might be saying,. What happened to Bad ASS paras? well DONT GET ME WRONG. I CAN STILL THROW DOWN IF CALLED UPON,. BUT it so fun being less threatening and more approachable, I feel happier and more content now, then all the years in the Navy, I know wifey Liked the flat top Manly look,, and at times I miss that look, But for now since I'm beginning a new phase in my life,, Learning new things and becoming a new image and perception.. I need to take into account the New Mel.. What is the new Mel,. A thoughtful , more compassionate man with concern for his family and Friend's and a passion for life!! I realize that after all those years lost at sea and way from family. I missed out on so many things.. I mean ,, I realize that civilian life is a different pace and you cant expect things to be resolved quickly. patience , patience and realizing that its moire cut throat and uncaring , whether its friends , family or creditor's or bankers.. They are always wanting and as a military veteran,. I was away from that aspect of life.. I now know that Life is gonna be a challenge the rest of my years. In the military,, I was so in tune with being in charge and getting my way,, Now I'm starting all over developing new contacts and creating a new persona , Even my neighbors are shocked in how my face and hair looks.. In fact a female neighbor said.. " its not fair you look so good after 2o years,,? Well,, I think the rejuvenation of my hair and skin and my psyche is because I no longer have the stress of the Navy,, hindering me,..
  Now is the moment of truth.. I will retire and get my retired id card, I will no longer have to have military standard hair cuts and I will now be the civilian I was Manly years ago.. Am I ready,, at times I am. and other times I miss the Navy regimen and strictness , but after being under those stressful conditions I feel so young and strong and ready to pursue my next career? I know college will take a lot of my blog time and I will be focused on learning a new career as well as assisting my son in tackle football and witnessing the growth and maturity of my eldest who will go off and became a avionics mechanic and make me so proud.. Not that I'm not but to see my boys mature and earn so many things about life is uplifting in my middle age years and mid life crisis.. I know they wonder why papa is letting his hair grow and Why is he lifting weights to get bigger and more muscular, I mean the Muscle car needs a Muscle car driver right? But for now? who knows how long my thick black hair will continue to grow strong or how clear and smooth my face will remain and how these old muscle maintain its size and muscularity.. But for now I'm really enjoying the rebirth and rejuvenation of my spirit and passion for life.. and I know the dedication and passion I had in the Military will carry through on my next career choices and friendships.. I know my family is dealing with my rebirth of sorts , but I ask them to be patient , for we all know Mother Nature and Father time is lurking and all the youthful and spirited energy I have ,,. will soon be a slower and less than spirited spark , but my heart and my desire to be youthful Will always be there ans for that I'm sure my beloved Wife and kids and other family member will pray and hope I continue to be that spark in their lives during  parties and reunions.. I know they live through me and I live through them and I enjoy being the actor , the dancer m the martial arts practitioner and jokers , story teller.. Its my destiny and my role in the Paras - Austria - Abubo - Clan.. and I'm looking forward t keeping it strong and alive... My mid life crisis ,. is actually a mid life rejuvenation and rebirth. that many of my family and Friend's are enjoying either by clever postings or creative dance move routines on you tube or face book.. !! Until my next blog.. Take care and Enjoy!!
