I will always be younger than some people so I am a kid in their eyes, but I am talking in terms of body, mind, and thoughts.  Think back to when you were younger with me.  When I was a kid I remember spending whole summers running around outside and playing things like tag and basketball.  I don&#8217;t ever remember going inside because it was too hot to be outside.  Now when I am outside it seems like a struggle in tolerance for the heat and the humidity.  I doubt that it was cooler when I was a kid (global warming?!?! bah!), so it must be me.  The thing that interests me though is this, is it a mental thing or is this a physical thing?  Has my body become less tolerant to the heat or is my mind just more occupied with it?<\/p>\n<p>Another thing that I am noticed is that, I seem to have lost some of my imagination.  I have to think more about things to get ideas to come to me.  I often times have snappy comebacks or crazy goofy things to say, but my ability to day dream seems to have lessened.  Some people might say that this is a good thing, that day dreaming is a waste of time, that I am now more focused.  To me I think that day dreaming is an important part of the idea phase of things.  I have been working to design new pages for this site and to use the things that I have in new ways, but all I seem to get done is rehashing old ideas and ideas that I have seen from other pages.  I have never been an artist, but I have always been able to come up with my own ideas and thoughts.  In some ways these articles and reviews are the last area that I have were I am still creating.  I am not sure if this is because of my job and lack of interest in it, or that I just don&#8217;t have anything cool to work with.  I hope the addition of my laptop (<b>gears<\/b>) will remedy that and allow me to work with the ideas that I have when I have them.  Hopefully, I will find a project to work with here soon and I will feel better about what I am doing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Increasingly I realize that I am no longer a kid.
