I guess as long as people think of me for different ages I'll trust their opinion. I remember noticing one year that Michelle Monaghan played 34 and 19 so I've kind of clung to that as my justification that I can be Jake Gyllenhaal's wife and a freshman in college in the same year.
My wife and I unlike many intellectuals spent five years working on assembly lines. We came to fully understand the criticisms of the industrial age in which you are an appendage of a machine that sets the pace.
