Here's to being over 40 and still Fabulous 🤩

I like our Pride here in North Carolina, it is in October around National Coming Out Day. Weather is cooler and it's a lot easier to wear leather than at the end of June. Not much into the music or dancing anymore, but I do love going through the marketplace and talking with people and supporting the local gay owned businesses and organizations.

[@PatrickMarano]

Sounds amazing!

[@williamjones7163]

I remember going to the wrinkle rooms as a youngster when I was 40. Now that I could be a founding father at 64. Hey at least I made it to 64. Just like the Beetle's song When I'm 64 🎵 .

Glad you enjoyed it!

Wise words 🙏🏼

[@DeanJoyceTenor]

I can completely relate to your experiences - circuit parties in my 20's and now in my 40's not so much. Been there done that. But still wanting to find a happy medium for Pride and not become a complete homebody 😅

[@PatrickMarano]

Yup

oh to be young and full of energy. this is really the drawback when you partied hard in your younger age. i can say i lived a full life. it's nice to reminisce but i dont think im that same person. priorities and realizations do come as you mature.

I have some things I do to help being over 40. My iphone will take a picture, so if something is too small, take a picture of that and then you can blow it up with your fingers. Works wonders. I recommend an acupuncturist and a chiropractor. Both help put you back together and feel like a normal person. I use them both. Also, I love going to the spa, not the bathhouse, the spa. The one that has cold plunge, hot tubs, steam rooms. I reduced my swelling immensely by using the hot and cold methods. I would do 30-60 seconds in the cold plunge and then go sit and chat with friends in the hot tub. For sleeping, I sleep well, if I make the room as cold as I can, but I take a shower before I go to bed, even though I take one in the morning too. I sleep 1000 times better if I do that. When I go out, before I go to bed, I drink a Pedialyte. I also never change my drink, whatever I start with, that is what I finish with. But the Pedialyte is the best way to make sure I get going the next day without issues. I have never been too much of a drinker, but 2-3 drinks max and a pedialyte and I am much better than if I do not do my routine. As for vision, I notice if I use Viagra, the next day it is much worse, have no idea why. Other things that can be better for you, is to garden. The gym is important, but gardening is great exercise and it also gives a sense of peace, which then helps me sleep well. Being in nature and putting your hands in the dirt. I also tell Alexa to play "Spa Relaxing Music on Pandora for 30 minutes." She plays it and I pass out cold and wake up refreshed. As for canceled plans, I am always happy to have me time. I am an extrovert, but after Covid, I realized the value of my "me" time. Also, I realized for all my supplements, discovey and other needed medication, I don't just fill a week's work, I have four boxes, so I fill the whole month. I actually keep that routine so much better that way. Also think about adding tumeric and glucosamine for the tendons and stuff like that to move better. You are in much better shape then me, I am muscle bear ish, but when I take those, I am so much better off. :)

[@PatrickMarano]

Wow, lots of great advice, thank you so much for sharing!

[@rogermusser7268]

Really agree with you about the loud music. I think it has been toned down a little most places. It used to be so loud it was atonal. Used to like seeing impromptu street interviews where they asked people the lyrics to the latest screamer song. Either they didn't know or they got it all wrong! Stop the screeching and just give me a good dance beat. Awards shows suck. It's just show people giving awards to their friends! Am surprised at how many bad things get awards. Yea Ambien!!! Did you get to NYC Pride?

[@PatrickMarano]

I did go! It was soooo fun

[@jppurple98]

Great video Patrick! I’m in my 50’s but can relate to what you’re saying 😎 I still like going out dancing but don’t go as much as I used too. The pride parades now are just like one big advertisement. Miami is my favorite because you can dance on the beach 🏖️ I did see something this year that was a little shocking. Guys were giving each other Molly not by mouth but putting it in their ass lol 😂 Not my thing but crazy how times have changed

[@PatrickMarano]

I used to stick tons of different dr*gs up my butt... it absorbs faster lol

[@jos.3649]

Toronto Pride has changed so much. Church street has changed so much. I cant remember most of my 20's , 30s is when I started to really chill down and not care about much. 39 and meh, i dont care about pride as much. Cant remember most of it.

[@TayWoode]

14:30 he just described me, I was never like this in my 20s & now I’m behaving like it even though I’m 52. I’m sure I get laughed at for it

[@PatrickMarano]

but who cares if they laugh (which I'm sure they're not cuz everyone is too busy worried about what other people think about them to spend much time laughing at others... and the ones that do are so insecure they have to make other people feel low)

[@TayWoode]

@@PatrickMarano but you’re the one that said we all know someone with no growth, no change and we secretly make fun of them don’t we 😞 Makes me not wanna go out anymore now

No thank you

[@chrisdaniel9820]

I don’t think it is your age. It is the fact that you over did it and now doesn’t seem to be interesting anymore. Like how many parties you have to go to and they are all the same. Also being in a smallish community you see same people all over again. So everything start to get boring but I enjoy going out to non-gay events and don’t limit my friendship to all soft of people straight and gay.

[@PatrickMarano]

I did over do it for sure LOL

[@garywilson9640]

Is that a sunburn on your pecs? Or has a guy been a bit aggressive between them?

One of my favorite over 40's Pride... I'm pushing my Mother in a wheelchair, got my blind neighbor hanging onto my shoulder, and my stoned cousin that is 8 years older than me chasing after the Frito Lay truck that's throwing free chips to the 100,000+ people attending Columbus, Ohio Pride back in 2010 something. It was the best day!!!!!!

Patrick I have a question, 🙋‍♂️ (plus I love your content ) I’m 36 now and never been to a circuit party or cruise, off course I’ve been to gay clubs and tea dance parties, but am I missing something? Do you think I should try it? Maybe once?

[@PatrickMarano]

Hmmm, that's tough to answer. Circuit parties are drug heavy so if you're not into that, you might not enjoy it. I've actually never been on a gay cruise, but I'm interested in trying it out!

It’s a testament to your positive attitude that you interpreted Peggy Lee’s song with that spin. To me, it’s a very dark song but gorgeous nonetheless and perhaps because of its darkness. In any event, I’ll listen to it again for a more upbeat Patrick Moreno interpretation.

No offense but those DJs were not great. Try Monsieur Adi, Fred Falke, Seamus Haji, Adam Turner, Digital Dog, Designer Drugs, Kue, Grum, Chew Fu...There are so many amazing DJs. Sadly you probably won't hear them at the clubs, house is dead; these lazy DJs just play plain @zz top 40 not even remixed these days. Anyway just wanted to mention some timeless DJs always great to listen to for a pick me up :)

[@PatrickMarano]

Thanks for telling us about those DJ's... and I know what you're saying, the DJ's that were popular and playing the parties weren't the best, but they were there and part of my history and memories, so it's nostalgic

[@10-OSwords]

@@PatrickMarano I live in a town where there aren't parties, there are a few bars & they either have a juke box or a VJ, so nothing to hear here. But back when house was more popular I'd find all the good DJs on house blogs basically. One time I went to a party in a city & in the smaller dancefloor I look over & the Freemasons were playing & they weren't advertised. Normally they're pretty good quality mid (they did the big Whitney-Million Dollar Bill remix back in the day) but they had just released a disc called Booty which was all bootlegs, it was freaking LEGIT...I was the only person who figured out what was up so while everyone was in the jungle room I was spinning like there was no tomorrow having the most amazing time by myself. It was crazy. Anyway, blah blah blah, but yes to nostalgia!

[@iworkout6912]

Love your talk about being over forty. I remember all of what your saying. Going out to a club, very loud music, guys hitting on you, buying you drinks (never knew how to handle that, as I knew they weren't buying them for me other than to get in my pants) Now its all over, as I have been replaced the the next generation. And to tell you the truth, I don't miss it anymore.

[@davidcheater4239]

I'm in my early sixties. But very very very different experience of Pride.over the years. I'm a queer punk - so I was at the Alternative Queer events. From 1987-2001 I was usually involved in the organization of Pride - mainly Entertainment or Disability and marshalling the Parade. I've never been to a circuit party. (So, many stories about Queer Punks/Goths/Skinheads.) The Rainbow Flag is a good representation of the diversity of our community. There are so many different ways to experience Pride that are valid.

[@PatrickMarano]

100% thank you so much for sharing David!

[@wernerbergh2593]

I am over 40 and i can much relate there what Patrick has mentioned my last pride party was when i was in my late 20's beginning of my 30's. I remember in the country where i am from gay pride was not a big thing yet in the 80's but there was a street parade every year and yes there was gay people in between and i remember my mother used to take me there and we where watching them go buy . iI remember i always ask my mom why those men dressing like women and of course that i think is where i find my true self as a gay person today .

[@PatrickMarano]

I love that your mom brought you there to watch. Seems very open minded of her

[@larrymccollum5888]

"I don't know how I'm alive." 💀🤣 We were always in the middle of the dancefloor too. When it got too hot there, we moved closer to a go-go boy box/platform or speaker to cool off for a minute.
