Ok.. I just turned... ****GASP***** 35 years old.. Time surely flies by quickly.. So what are some signs that I'm getting older? I came up with a few..And was wondering what everyone else in here noticed.. 1) I have two PS3's in my home and I have not played a video game in over 3 months. 2) I have been divorced for nearly 6 months and have yet to fire up Counterstrike or any othe PC game on my computer (This coming from a hardcore PC gamer) 3) My once daily porn watching has been downgraded to once every 2-3 days. In fact I've actually watched porn recently and felt SORRY for the girls as they were getting hammered.. WTF?? 4) The hair on my head is taking twice as long to grow as before... Don't even want to think about this one. 5) Alcoholic binges hurt a lot more than before... A few years ago, 5 shots of Patron, a few Johnnie Blacks, a few Ginn and Tonics, no problem.. Today- a few drinks and I feel like I got run over by a truck the next morning... Ahh the joys of aging.. Luckily I'm in great shape and work out everyday- If I didn't, I imagine I would be bedridden now
You cruise by a high school and are more interested in the mommies than the daughters. You fall asleep while fapping. You match an old movie like Cobra that you once thought was awesome, now it's pretty gay. The music you loved as a young man is now available on late night TV in compilation format. (You used to make 'mix tapes') You remember when you got your first remote control. You remember your first microwave. You used to have a cell phone that weighed more than a thanksgiving turkey. Your dreams have begun to become outnumbered by your regrets. You can't name most of the bands you hear on the radio station. You still remember the cheat code to the original Contra game. You have to pluck your ear and/or nose hair. You test drive a new car and don't know what half of the buttons and gadgets are for. You need to read the instructions for electronics now. You start giving directions by telling people to make a left where a place used to be. You ***** about kids today.
I used to see a teenage girl and wonder if she's a screamer or a moaner. Now instead of finding out, I just wonder.
When you hold the door to the restaurant open for the three hot young girls and they say "Thank you sir."
When you have no idea who's playing on popular radio. I knew I was an adult when someone had to tell me who the Jonas Bros were. Speaking of which, who the hell is Justin Bieber (sp)? Never heard his music, nor do I plan on it.
When you actually know about Andre the Giant beyond the 'Obey' posters/stickers When you remember when hip-hop was about lyrical ability. When you remember having to blow your breath on the bottom of a cartridge to get your game to work. When you run into trouble in the club and try to resolve the issue by breakdancing. When you watch the last two Transformers movie and ask why the heck Bumblebee isn't a Volkswagen Beetle. When someone's asks you about #13 of the Dolphins, and you go on about Jake Scott. When you root on the fullback in a football game, because you just knew he was going to get a lot of carries in the game.
When you look at a 35 year old's post about getting old and roll your eyes.... When landing a cougar for you means a trip to the nursing home... When you find yourself preaching to your kid about how good they have it, and they look at you in disbelief when you tell them there was a time when there were only 4 channels on TV, you actually had to get up and walk to the TV to change the channel, there was no such thing as cell phones, playing sports games meant going OUTSIDE and actually swinging a bat or throwing a ball instead of waving a controller around....
You and your teeth don't sleep together. Your idea of a night out is sitting on the patio. Happy hour is a nap. It takes longer to rest than it did to get tired. There's nothing left to learn the hard way. Your joints are more accurate than the National Weather Service. Your arms are almost too short to read the newspaper. You sing along with the elevator music. Your ears are hairier than your head. You feel like the morning after, and you haven't been anywhere. Getting lucky means you find your car in the parking lot.
Happened to a friend of mine: When you are taking a college course to increase your skills and no one in your class knows who Mr. T is.
Instead of smiling because those 2 twin 3 year old little girls on full house were so cute, you now smile at the thought of a thressome with them.
i'll feel old when people born in this millennium are old enough to drink. (although i'll still be getting carded )
I don't know about you, but the one thing that makes me feel the oldest is that now, almost all of my sports heroes are younger than me.
I said this elsewhere....But You know you're getting old when you check out the moms instead of the teenage girls that are now almost as old as your daughters.
You know you are getting old when... You feel forced to click on a thread entitled "You know you are getting old when..." just to see how other 'old' people are feeling.
Awesome! (My contribution: You use words like "awesome")....it's an absolutely horrible movie, but my buddies and I would have "Rocky" nights where we'd stay up all night watching Rocky 1-4.....subsequent events led to watching any Stallone movie, including Cobra. We thought it was the coolest thing at the time. Caught it on cable a few weeks ago and felt bad for everyone involved. It's funny, my kids are smart enough to see that the sequels to any of these movies aren't worth the effort, but we used to eat them up like Meat Lovers pizza...it was the time I guess.
Here's one I am finding is true: It takes twice as long to "get back in shape" after the holidays. Guys 15-18 years old don't realize how good they have it, anabolically-speaking.
it has little to do with age. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynlW5_rnRVE"]YouTube- Neil Young - Tell Me Why (1970)[/ame]
I was at work the other day... somebody spelled tomato with an E on the end in one of the internal chats. I corrected her and called her Dan Quayle and most of the people there didn't get it. That made me feel old.
repay makes no sense to me. old enough to repay? repay what? re-paint to me sounds so much better.. like repainting the house. or you could sell it. dammit. now i feel stupid good song and message though maybe i should get my ears checked....
