Synchronicity
You have to admit. The collective display of synchornicity and creativity by God and his chum the Devil is quite astounding. Leave the poor fuckers alone for fourty years of their lives and then whip them away from their pathetic existence and stick a huge blinding sign into their skulls proclaiming - "I am forty something and I know not of any meaning to my life and as a child of the devil I am full of only desolation and despair. Pray do not make me suffer my another winter in this living hell."

Damn, your sentiments ring sooo true. Since turning 40, I have been sooo depressed that I have not been able to even work. Suicidal thoughts all the time...
LOL hey, you think you have it bad? I too have been struggling with these very same thoughts; the angst of knowing for sure that the best things are behind you, and many things from this point on simply cannot be fixed or mitigated. Add to this all the things you wanted to do with your young life and somehow never got around to.
After reading a book I found on this subject, I somehow feel a little reconciled... not better, but reconciled; It's somehow comforting to know that someone else has it MUCH worse, although I'm not sure why? "Requiem for a Midlife Crisis" (by Phoenix Michaels)I think should be government-issued to every male on his 40th birthday. There's someone who is DEFINATELY more miserable than me... although I am of course extremely envious of his sexual exploits. It seems that i missed quite a few of the perks of having a midlife crisis LOL.
