40daze is a web site geared towards male, Gen-Xer’s who are hitting the milestone of their 40th birthday. The site will consist of a collection of thoughts and ideas for the everyday man. The site is intended to be a place where men from all different socio-economic backgrounds can exchange thoughts and ideas about maturing, with all the trials, tribulations, and baggage that comes with the aging process. It also speaks to the secret yearnings that may be just slightly below the surface; the middle manager with the starched, white shirt and flat-top haircut that wants to pack it all in to blow sax in the blues club down at the beach; the computer programmer that dreams of trading the keyboard to take the helm of a cruiser and set sail around the world to see what is out there; the blue-collar laborer that is finally going to tell the big-boss-man to take this job and shove it so he can open the speed shop he’s been dreaming about since he was 16.
As cliché as it sounds, 40daze is about listening to your inner voice, dusting off dreams that have been put on hold and finally pursuing self interests. How do you realize a dream that has sat in the corner for decades while still being a responsible husband, father, and employee; is this even a reasonable thought, let alone a realistic question? As this generation stands at the brink of mid-life, can we have it all – and what does it mean to have it all? Everyone’s definition and idea of success is different… for some it might mean owning your own company, being a loving father, making a million dollars, or running a marathon... The notions of having it all and being successful will be questioned and challenged as 40daze develops.
40daze will be a look at where we are as a generation, where we’re going, and of course, a look back at where we’ve been…
Now, if you read that and get it, stick around…
