I just turned 31 yesterday and I am still recovering from the day. I found turning 30 difficult but now 31 is proving to be just as fraught with introspection. Every decision I make financially or career-wise has large repercussions and I've become more cautious. I even notice that dating and marriage is looming large with many friends becoming 'adults' and marrying. Being single at 25 is different that being single at 30; now people start hinting at marriage and friends become pickier at socializing. Where does gorilla juice head come into play? My sister and I watch Jersey Shore every Thursday. There is nothing morally uplifting about the show but its funny to see that when your early 20's, the mistakes are not permanent and painful. Last night I went to a club called Rehab. It's a younger clientele but with better music than our regular hang out Dirty Martini. The crowd looked like that they took their behavioural and style points from Jersey Shore. There were a lot of guys looking very buff and muscular, looking like Snookies' ideal male-the gorilla juice head. The guys also wore tight t-shirts and rosary beads while fist pumping to the latest mainstream dance music. Why was I attracted to this? The freedom of just dancing around to the latest dance music without thinking about my 5 career/personal life plan is a relaxing feeling.
PS-Please keep in your thoughts and prayers possible execution of Youcef Nadarkhani. The Iranian government is about to execute this pastor for deciding to live his life as a Christian. This situation highlights some troubling realities of religious minorities in Muslim-dominated countries.
