Feeling Old and Wanting A Mommy

So, I have been thinking...when is one too old to have a mommy? I think there is never a time when you are too old. Everyone needs a mommy from time to time. And what is it that draws the human male into those comforting feelings. I guess it could be an adult security blankey. Mommy's are great that way. The simple image of one's mother is such a security to know that no matter what happens, your mommy is always there.

But what about those people out there that didn't have mothers who were available? What about mothers that were not there at all? What do those people want or wish for? What can they do to feel that comfort level? What kinds of surrogates do they use to have the feeling of being cared for and loved unconditionally? No one out there can say for certain that they were not at one time happy in the presence of their mother. Everyone is born and taken care of until one such time where we break away from our mother's and decide to strike out on our own -- and don't forget about all those times that you returned to the arms of your mother. It did happen, so, don't bother to deny it. ome mother's are too wrapped up in their own lives. Can you blame them? Can you really blame them for taking time for themselves even if it is at the expense of their offspring?

Well, I am brave enough to admit it that I do want my mommy sometimes. I want her to hold me and say that I am a good person and that it will be okay, no matter what the problem may be. I don't think we get enough of that. Have you ever felt that way? You just want to say to the world that they can all wait -- you need to go see your mommy. I don't know what the desire for people is. People want money, cars, good health, popularity -- but mommy needs never changes. There should be a mandate that all people have multiple mommies. Multiple sets of mommies that can appear just when you need them and come to the rescue.

Okay, sure, I have used the term "mommy" over and over again. Some would want me to use "mother" or "mom" but I don't call my mother that. My mother is my mommy and she is the best there is. So, go out there and find your mommy and tell them they are great...after all, Mother's Day is coming up and they deserve it.

podcasting

What else do I do? I talk out loud, record it, and post it on line. I chatter about all kinds of things. Some of the things are nerdy, some professional, and some of them are very much NSFW. Why? Because do them for myself and my non-work life. You can be the judge.
