Does Age Quash Our Spirit of Adventure?

I was listening to 70s music in the 80s. And the 90s and now, for that matter. Sure, I listen to KCRW and if something piques my interest, I check it out... but I tend to like music that's less "adventurous" to begin with. The last few new groups I got into were Iron & Wine and Jennie Lewis and the Watson Twins-- that can hardly be called "adventurous."

But I do love to travel. That's really never changed. We'll be adventuring around Italy next June.

When it comes to piercings or body ink-- that's just never appealed to me. When an acquaintance got a gigantic iris tattooed on her abdomen, all I could think about was how terrible it was going to look when she was 80. My personal pet peeve (or one of them) is when someone with a pierced tongue incessantly plays with it outside of their mouth or clicks it against their teeth. I don't think my disinterest in body/skin mutilation has anything to do with "adventure" or risk... it has everything to do with finding it unattractive. Not because they're being bold, but because I don't find it visually stimulating.
