00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:10.679
Hi, I'm James lo Junior.
I am fifty four years old. I

2
00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:14.359
just turned fifty four years old six
days ago, well at this point,

3
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:18.160
maybe eight days ago or whatever.
May ten. I was born May tenth,

4
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:24.079
nineteen sixty nine, at ten ten
pm A lot of tens. This

5
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:27.000
is show is called fifty plus.
And if you don't know me your first

6
00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:31.519
time when across this, Hi,
nice to meet you. It's about issues

7
00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:36.920
that are over fifty on the shows
sometimes but most of the time. UM,

8
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:41.880
and you're meeting me, So Hi, Why do I talk about age?

9
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:46.479
Because first of all, I liked
you. My friends, my younger

10
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:49.719
friends talk about my age all the
time. Of course, how they do

11
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:53.119
call me ancient and old stuff.
That's fine, that's what that's what.

12
00:00:53.200 --> 00:01:00.000
It's all good fun to bother me. But in some parts of society,

13
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.920
need some parts of Hollywood, talking
about age or real age is for boating.

14
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:08.439
There are folks tell me I shouldn't
talk about age. I shouldn't bring

15
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:15.239
it up. There are folks who
say you look good and they go course

16
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:19.400
for the black drunk crack thing,
which I have seen some black that does

17
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:26.400
crack. He depends jeans, play
good part living? How you live lots

18
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:32.159
of water, and moisturizing your face
does help. I have good jeans.

19
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:34.840
I get to my mother, I
see her side of family, they look

20
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:40.799
good. But I have streak,
lots of water, and I did have

21
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:45.159
a heart. I've had a very
interesting life, but I try to moisturize

22
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:49.519
all the time. But I saw
about age because there are things a lot

23
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:53.840
of us in my generation and older. We're living longer, and we're living

24
00:01:55.000 --> 00:02:02.680
broader lives and anything it is flying
ammy. We're living broader, wider lives.

25
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:07.960
And I just want to be an
example of someone who might be around

26
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:12.560
my age or any age who goes. I want to try that, but

27
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:15.599
I'm not going to do it as
too old or or I look sillier to

28
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:21.879
no ryot do it. Most of
what I'm doing today, which is in

29
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:27.960
the entertained field, also being an
entrepreneur, being a life coach or an

30
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:34.240
organizer, post musician, songwriter,
spoken word artist, arthur, author,

31
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:40.919
director, producer, writer. Also
came into fruition in my forties and fifties.

32
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.560
Every couple of years or so,
I add something new to the list

33
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:50.280
I want to try, and I
just want to be this example that you

34
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:53.039
know Cemattic just try. I try
to help professionals, love people out there

35
00:02:53.080 --> 00:03:00.319
and amateurs out there who want to
try things. It's not a possile.

36
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:04.800
We are in a world nowadays where
you could do anything anytime, any age,

37
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:10.840
just about seriously. And I know
from my group they the nineteen sixty

38
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:16.319
nine ers, it's a bunch of
us from Jennifer Lopez or folks who are

39
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:23.400
in my group of almost midfield,
well guess mid fifties, from level anywhere

40
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:28.879
from you know, I said,
Jennifer Lopez from right, Carrie, and

41
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:31.680
a bunch of others. They're out
there who are just you know, we're

42
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:36.680
all out there living our lives and
doing it and still producing new stuff.

43
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:40.919
I have friends you will say to
me that they you know, I've always

44
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:45.319
wanted to blink, and they know
me. I'll be like, do it.

45
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:52.159
I wish i'd try. They do
it. You know. There are

46
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:55.560
some things about getting older that are
true, right, some some pamale things

47
00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:01.560
our bodies sometimes or things that happen. But as I get as I reflect

48
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:05.599
on this birthday, I realized that
age is a care be a great thing.

49
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:09.120
I mean, I'm glad to be
older when I want to be younger

50
00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:13.039
today. No things. I'm happy
with the age. I app it happens

51
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:15.720
so fast. I'm telling you guys, happen fast. But there are things

52
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:25.000
that we assign to age that are
unnecessary. We're not completely truthful or don't

53
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:29.720
really matter, but we assigned we
as society at large, and you know,

54
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:33.399
assign them to age m but there
really is no I mean, I

55
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:38.759
was looking at the Martha Steward being
any one to cover as farts illustrated.

56
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:44.399
That doesn't do anything for me whatsoever. But your true why not? You

57
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:46.800
know, it's it's kind of a
policy stunt and everything. But I listen

58
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:51.800
to her talk and her reason for
it. She says, it just show

59
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:58.600
people that he can still be sexy
and sophisticated and still look like a knockout

60
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:01.639
in your eighties. I saw the
pictures and she looks pretty much like herself.

61
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:05.240
Of course, there's some few things
here and there, but she looks

62
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:12.600
like herself for the most part.
I I have an aunt who's lorder than

63
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:15.240
I am, and who do still
dreams, still does stuff, still have

64
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:21.279
aspirations. Your dreaming should never stop. They're doing. It's up to you

65
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:26.360
if you want to continue doing whatever
your dreams are. When your dreams come

66
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:31.920
to do it life as I'm hurting, it's I get older too. One

67
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:36.480
of the things about Whistle getting older, you know how life works for most

68
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:42.920
part, you know how to run
how it can be. And it's like,

69
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:47.399
well, I want to accomplish some
things. I'm not dead yet.

70
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:51.000
There's things I want to do and
so for me, I'm gonna do them.

71
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:56.759
So if the folks who are sitting
at home afraid to start, I

72
00:05:56.839 --> 00:06:00.920
do have some classes on that to
you to help you start those are you

73
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:02.759
just in general just like I'm not
gonna do this. And I talked to

74
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:06.879
Fred recently and I just talk just
like, should I do it now?

75
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:13.439
Yes, you have a time,
now do it whatever it is. You're

76
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:16.079
always gonna see me trying stuff all
the time, and it's like the education

77
00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:24.480
should never end until your dad.
I look at still like that I might

78
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:26.720
here to be. I'm not a
major guru. I don't you know.

79
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:30.000
I'm a life coach, but I
just I don't go on on to media

80
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:32.199
and try to impart all of my
wisdom to the world and follow me.

81
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:35.199
I'm gonna be the one to tell
you everything. But every much, I'm

82
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:40.519
gonna come on here. Just tell
you I could be an example of anything,

83
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:44.199
and that is I'm gonna do what
i'm gonna do for as long as

84
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:46.680
I can do it, and I
encourage you to do so whatever that is.

85
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:51.720
And don't be a Freddie r age, just say it. It's okay,

86
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:56.000
let's be fine. Lifetock gonna fall
apart, it's gonna be okay.

87
00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:00.720
And I'm James A Junior and I'm
fifty four years old. This is fifty

88
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:02.160
plus and I'll see you. I
talk to you next time.
