I think I'm too old for that, thank you.

Shouldn’t there come a time in one’s life when you might be too old to “hit the clubs”? I was talking to my girlfriend the other day who mentioned something about wanting to go to a night club or a dance club when I come into town for a visit. I have no problem having a good time, or meeting up with friends for a drink but I don’t know how I feel anymore about hitting the clubs like I used in when I was in college.
At some point in my life, I don’t remember when this happened, the club scene got really old for me and I don’t find anything amusing about it {in fact I’m not sure I ever did, but pictures of me in my early 20’s might suggest otherwise}. In fact, call me old and prudish, but I really hate being in a club, the smoke and loud “boom boom boom” of the music drives me insane! Yeah, I’m getting old, I’m no longer a 21 year old, but I love that I’m no longer 21 in that club partying phase. I like that I’ve earned the age to sit in a nice upscale wine bar with “soft music” like Coldplay or Nina Simone and chat with friends and colleagues while enjoying a real glass of wine, not that cheap crap they give you at clubs.
I love my friend dearly and I don’t want to hurt her feelings, but I think if I have to endure one hour in a smoky-loud-skanky club, I’ll scream. I’m going to offer something else, not sure what yet because I’m out of my element here, but I’ll try nonetheless. The sad part though is that she lives in a town where this is the norm, people still go clubbing, mainly because there is nothing else for entertainment, but still, I think if I had to I’d just form my own entertainment- dinner parties or wine parties at my house. Okay well, enough rambling, just a vent before I head out for the day, I’m done, and I’ll get off my soap box now.
