Convict Colony Posted 17 April, 2014 Share Posted 17 April, 2014 I fancy buy a motorbike but have done for years and really fancy a triumph bonneville with scrambler tyres so I can cruise the forest tracks here and cos they look sick - example aside from that nothing else as a lot seems to be work related as well, I'm 38 and retired already :-) I thought taking up triathlon or cycling was the new mid-life crisis anyway as all the old dudes I knew at work used to really get into it massively.

scotty Posted 17 April, 2014 Share Posted 17 April, 2014 4- possibly. 15 and 18- certainly. The rest- nope. So I suppose that makes me 2.5 at age 52. Has a pleasant symmetry, imo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Who? Posted 21 April, 2014 Share Posted 21 April, 2014 12..... But some I have wanted to do for a long time, like learn a musical instrument, always starting new hobbies..... Also most would want an easier life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Who? Posted 21 April, 2014 Share Posted 21 April, 2014 Also there are many things I would like to do, but do not have the time or the money to do them. I think this is the main reason for 'midlife crises' is that the kids grow up the debts reduce and you have more time to do/buy those things you always wanted to do/buy. You also have more time for hobbies and money to do them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Bateman Posted 20 June, 2014 Share Posted 20 June, 2014 Surely the only modern mid-life crisis for a male is to spend in excess of a grand on a road bicycle, buy all the lycra and padded pants things and go out cycling all the time pretending you're in a "peloton" ...

pap Posted 21 June, 2014 Author Share Posted 21 June, 2014 I am enjoying mine - long may it continue Alto sax is my mid-life crisis instrument. I have no rhythm and no timing, but I would love to be able to paly instrument ....Drums would be my preference, but it won't happen. Well, I've been playing guitar for two weeks and would definitely say learning an instrument is worth it. Gemmel; was kinda like you. The enormity of how much there is to learn and overcome put me off for years. However, what really spurred me on this time was foreknowledge that with enough practice, most stuff becomes automatic. I've been organically touch typing for the last ten years without any kind of formal training. I'm near a keyboard 24/7 - just got good. Same thing applies with the guitar. Day one I was all over the place. At the end of week one, was able to find most of the major chords. At the end of week two, it takes me less than a minute to switch between them So yep; I'm still an utterly shíte guitar player, but working it into most stuff I'm doing and slowly getting better. Very encouraged by how much has clicked in the first couple of weeks, and it's a decent way to spend time. P'raps it's a hallmark of being middle aged, but I'm keenly aware of how I spend my time these days. This really doesn't seem like a waste of it.

You are obviously in the experimental stage of your life. A midlife crisis it something you should aspire to, not be pleased that you haven't reached it yet.
