I hung my electric guitar on the wall in my movie room. On a scale of 1-10 how much of a midlife crisis sign is this? Seems pretty bad, but it looks good up there and not sitting in its case. What other signs of midlife crisis should I be on the lookout for?

I'd hang mine on the wall instead of having 5 stands cluttering up the corner of the room but I live in an apartment and cant start punching holes in the wall. I think it just means you're utilizing available space which is smart.

edit: wait, do you play it? If no, then yeah, total midlife crisis.

Don't play as much I used to unfortunately

I picked up guitar playing and gym-going when I turned 33, and it was def. early midlife crisis warning.

Still better than becoming a weekend biker on a brand new Harley, or hunting 20yo girls at the bars by the university.

E: the solution is to join a band with a bunch of older guys, suddenly you feel like a newborn baby in comparison. Adverse effects can include playing Creedence, Boston and Foghat songs.

Harley losers are the worst. Literally buying a whole identity kit and kaboodle from the official Harley shop at outrageous prices. Lame.

I actually played in lots of old punk bands in my youth, toured, all the good stuff. But now my guitar is on my wall next to my misfits flier

where's the worst pl,ace to put your finger if you have chili juice on it:

-eye
-nose
-glans
-butthole

Chili juice in the bum bum shouldn't be that bad if you're already an eater of spicy food :shrug:

. I got chili dick once and did the sex act (touched my weiner to guide it in)and she got chili vag anfd really, really mad at me. We were both ice packing ourselves almost immediately. I thought it was kind of funny though. She was latina and i was all, "cmon, you mean this has never happened to you?" Boy...was I really wrong to say that. Angry naked latinas..jfc.

Wait, it's not even a signed guitar or anything? Just some random Fender Squire you decided to hang up? Lame as gently caress.

I had a fender squire bullet back in the day that was rad as gently caress. Whachootalkinabout!?

Here is a bad pic of the guitar I hung on my wall perhaps in a midlife crisis moment:

What is it a Gretsch ?

I'd say if someone buys an expensive PRS at puts it on their wall then definite midlife crisis but that guitar / poster combo says to me "theme restaurant" so maybe open a theme restaurant ??

Perhaps a small shack? Perhaps a small shack that specializes in a certain foodstuff? Perhaps a hotdog shack?

The whole point of being old is not giving a gently caress what people think anymore, you are blowing it buddy.

Goons mean the world to me.

For serious, instruments are for playing. That is a pretty guitar, but why don't you play it? Put it in a good case if you don't want to play it for now. It's unfair to the guitar and also a temptation for people to go, "Oh, do you play?" and while you say no, they try to take it off the wall and show you the one chord they think they remember.

Lol if you think I let people in my house! *plays Iron Man for my kids incessantly*
