Help mid life crisis

I`m just about to hit the big 40 in september and dont know if Im going through a mid life crisis.

For some reason I want to learn to play the electric guitar LOL . I have always liked rock music like The Who ,and The Stones etc, but I have never bothered about playing any musical instruments until now.

I have heard about guys going out and buying sports cars and motor bikes when they get older , do you think taking up the guitar at 40 is the same thing, and is it normal ?

Tis cheaper than a sports car or bike, and beats an affair so GO FOR IT!!! Have a blast.

Life is too dang short to NOT do what makes you happy. You are NEVER TOO OLD to learn.

:guitarist Play that guitar... sound like a great idea to me..

When I turned 50 I took up TAP DANCING, something I always wanted to do, so I did it.. It was much harder then I thought it would be, but I had so much fun making noise with my feet...

GO FOR IT LIFE IT SHORT MAKE THE MOST OF IT..

i've never thought to jump in a forum for 40s:) honestly, i don't feel u guys are even over 35. I don't like teenagers as well, especially those born in west countries. When i was a teenager, effected by movies, i dreamed about living as a real girl,maybe rich,beautiful etc. After travelling Europe, i realized that quiet life is what i prefer. I am 25 and admire those who still want to play electronic guitars and ride bicycles.

FORTY!!!!!!!

-I am 37, and I love getting older, each year I am wiser and more pleased with who I am, and I look forward to who I will be.

-Also , I agree with flopstock, older men are sexier, and they know how to listen, and makelove, and just be their, my fiance is 54, and bald and I think he is as hot as vin diesel.

-Do you really want to be 18 again, noooooo way.

-Jasmund Be happy live life like their is no tomorrow.

respect to others naturally.
