As ridiculous and pedantic as this is going to come across ---- I'm going through a , shall we say , "A-Typical" Midlife Crisis . Why the 'A-Typical' embellishment ? Simply put , I'm not going-through-the-paces of the *typical* midlife crisis ; no red convertible ; no scamming on birds that're half my age ; no facial hair ; no Old Guys Rule livery . Instead , I'm biding my time with the realisation that I'm on-the-cusp of half-century marque , and have nothing to show for it . I would like to read about how you , my fellow plastic fanatics , have dealt with or are dealing with your aging process .

From reality it seems I've strayed ; Tired of all the silly games I play" - Bound To Fall , Michael Brewer and Tom Mastin . "There's nothing left alive But a pair of glassy eyes ; Raise my feelings one more time" - Gimme Danger , Iggy & The Stooges I also listen to lots of different music whose lyrical content is that of aging and lamenting ; these two come to mind right-off : "Goin' Back" Byrds , 1968 ( mono cut -- my favourite mix ) "See Saw" , Pink Floyd , 1967 ( in newly-remastered and re-released mono ) :
