I AM JUDGING YOU
Something is starting to bug the hell out of me. Being forever young as a "man-boy" has always suited me just fine. Nowadays, you'll likely find my mouth having no trouble reading people with some brutal honesty. Where has my filter gone? Have I outgrown it? What has so emboldened me to where I now feel entitled to read a friend as I see fit? Am I becoming ornery and jaded? Or is it something else?

Beats me. You've always had the ability to blurt out very blunt comments about people - I can remember you doing that back when we met.
Subtlety Knows Not Me
As long as I've been reading this my sense is you ENJOY being ornery and confrontational. Maybe I'm missing something but I thought this was an essential part of you -not some change that comes with age. Nothing wrong with it. Just who you are.
I think as we get abit older, we really do not watch what we say as much. I normally tells my freinds what I am thinking.
Brett I fully agree with kettle of fish. You have always said what is one your mind. That is what I like about your and your blog.
Ray
you are just perfect! AND, I do like the way your mother did your hair for picture day that year.
I find it happening too, my patience with people is nothing like it used to be, and my comments not nearly as sugar coated! I say enjoy it, I mean what else can you do huh?
P.S. You were such a sweet little girl, but I get the feeling there may have been signs of whats to come, can't think what gives me that impression though.
Maybe you are spending too much time talking/texting people from New York???????? It does "rub' off. -DD
Sounds like a typical fag to me. Hows that for honesty. lol
You? Subtle? Nah.... I think you have a lot more confidence now than you ever did before. It follows that you would be braver about speaking up.
I actually find bluntness tempered with reason very attractive. *hint hint* :P
As I get older my filter is also going out the door... but I attributed it to me becoming a crotchety old man.
hohoho
it sounds like age to me!
Not to jump on the 'age' bandwagon, but I tend to agree.
I even catch myself doing the same thing.
I think we all just get to a point where the common thought is "I'm too old to deal with this crap...here's the way it is, whether you like it or not."
It's completely normal. ;-)
Honesty never needs to be brutal. Blunt, yes. One can choose to be blunt and graceful or a prick. I'm trying out the grace. It's actually humbling to be honest with friends and not have it turn into an attack. Remember these are people you care about.
