To be fair, most teenagers are annoying to any age group but themselves, including those younger than them. That's not a sign of getting old IMO.
1. Thinking about having kids. 2. Telling myself to get a damned haircut when it gets long. 3. Trying to play sports and the body doesn't oblige. 4. Worrying about the onset of diabetes and other health issues in general. 5. Losing hope in the nation's youth. 6. My 10 year highschool reunion was this past summer. 7. Watching HGTV too often and wondering when I'll be buying a house. 8. Noticing that Playboy Playmates are getting younger and younger. 9. Noticing that athletes are getting younger and younger. 10. Noticing that my parents are three kids into being Grandparents.
Don't sweet having good taste in music. As to the topic at hand, shit yeah I feel old some time and I'm only 26. -Bad ankle than aches when it rains or is going too. -Think most teenagers are retarted. -Think most new music sucks. -I identify more with the parents in the comic Zits more than the kid(when did that hapen?) -realized most of my favorate movies from my youth are about 20 years old. -Developing a Vegita-esc widows peak, and can see my self looking a lot like Richard Nixon (Ahroo!) when I'm older.
heh kinda funny this topic should pop up we been talking about "time" at church on Sunday There's a couple good phrases my pastor said to us, maybe you guys will get something. "Time doesnt stop for nobody. It is a ruthless opponent" and "Time is the one thing you WILL run out of" i mean, im 22 and already feelin kinda like you guys. Like where is my life going? Before i know it i'll be 30. Then 45. then 60. What am i really doing with my life? i dunno. maybe im taking this deeper than you all intend but its just something to think about. Time. Managing our time as best as we can. I could go on but i'll stop but yeah.. Funny how time begins to escape us eh?
what is all this talk about pooping... it takes longer when you're older?! anyone had a midlife crisis yet?
Except for that funny-as-hell sharting problem, I feel you. I only have periodic sharts, and I don't say that around my work group. I feel old, and worn, because I have (off of the top of my head); * - Was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea last year * - Arthritic knees, hips and shoulders. * - Nerve damage in my arms from typing for years * - Neurological condition affected by COLD - OUCH! (HARD to wake up and move in the mornings) * - Saying "WHAT, HUH, OH," all too often. * - Memory issues (got out my old PDA to refurb and use to HELP, also work with Brain Age on DS Lite). * - And others I have forgotten. The best advice I know of, though, is to acknowledge your problems and continue moving on no matter what or how bad the pain is. UNLESS the pain literally stops you, either emotionally or physically. I like Pickles most of the time, as the older couple reminds me of MY parents most of the time.
Hmmm...at 31, I haven't gotten too many grey hairs, still dig new music, and haven't lost too much of my body's functionality (hell, I worked construction all this summer, and felt great). Also, a lot of the music I dig, I keep cranked in the car, and I shake off hangovers and injury better than ever. Feel them, yes, but let them hinder me, no. So, perhaps I am invincible and immortal. On the other hand, I'm pretty much totally bald on top, and a lot of the kids I work with (kids=early twenties, I work at a bar), just seem so naive with their goofy ideas on how life works (most of them have well-off parents, too. They'll learn...). My son walks around and speaks in full sentences, my niece is in elementary school, my parents are so old as to have physical impairments (what the hell, they were in their twenties when I was born) and I don't quite enjoy the immunity from cold and such that I once had. So, maybe I am getting old. Weird thing is, on the music deal, the older I get, the more I hate "Classic Rock" other than, say, Priest, Hendrix, the Beatles, ELO, and Bowie. I'm pretty much at the point where I'd rather die in a fire than listen to most seventies rock...same goes for a hell of a lot of nineties stuff, which, in theory, I should be more nostalgic for as I get older. Don't know what that's about.
Lesee, 29 here (I look 15-ish, go figure) and... - PCness get on my nerves - can't stand pop and emo music, particularly most of the "new stuff" trash - have a tendency to say "buh?" - wondering when the hell I'm gonna start driving - can't stand most teenagers - not a movie person - considers most of Hollywood's body of work to be absolute garbage since the mid '90s - is more of a solitary person than a sociable one - never had a girlfriend, never will (too much problems) - is very, very, very, very picky about what he likes/listens to - gets mad easily - can be impatient and cranky - can't stand superstition - tends to go to bed at 5 AM - doesn't take kindly to people who ask me stupid questions which might end up in a boring and unpleasant conversation - can't stand most stuff on TV, particularly the reality garbage
I have you beat,I can't so much as eat a single potato chip without having to go praying on the throne for half a hour afterwards.
Don't get me started!Crazy thing is teens listen to loud music so they don't have to hear thier other stupid buddy ramble on about how life works. I hate society but am a very talkitive(no idea why) Can't wake up and put feet on the floor without hurting some where On the john at least 5 time daily All stupidity gets on my nerves to where I'll go off or walk away in the middle of someones elses sentance Can't stand younger people Can't stand too many older people Starting to dis like friends because they refuse to grow up Can't grow up myself so I'd rather bitch about it Got the fat man grunt starting to show Crazy kids stress me out to were I want to drink heavily Don't drink because it looks bad to the crazy kids Starting to think coming home means a visit to Tazmania Started building train sets like Grandpa and bitching about it Hate shaving everyday I could go on all night!!!!!
God I can relate to a lot of you.. 27 and.. Its a hell of a time to get out of bed in the morning One of my knees hurts when its cold outside Look for receding/bald spot progression Not terribly overweight but worried about diabetes/heart disease Would rather stay in on the weekends HATE teenagers Wish I was 21 again Question why im posting/camping at a transformers sight but refuse to stop Dont super size/large size anything at fast food restaurants anymore Would love one of those 4 patties and 4 pieces of bacon with crap load of cheese burgers at wendys but i think about my health.. I dont think i'll ever think twice about checking out a hot 19 year old girl
31 and .. Have caught myself peering out the window at groups of kids to make sure they aren't causing trouble, Find out that friends my age now have kids who are nearly teenagers!!!! Grunting when getting up from the sofa. Find gardening programs much more interesting than 'reality' tv. All of a sudden I can't eat what I want anymore without weight going straight on the gut The only consolation is I still like rockin music (at a sensible volume) although I can't jump around to it these days.
29 for 8 more months and..... -not listening to any new music any more. -huge disdane of young people in general. -for some reason wouldnt mind having kids -contemplating about getting my blood pressure checked (i am fairly certain its pretty high atm) -the easy to do stuff is not so easy any more -thinking less about toys in general (i try to collect but i feel stupid buying toys now) -not afraid to make noises getting up off the ground/chair -checking on my thinning hair -not much of a risk taker -have had thougths of trying to find someone to settle down with -worried about my health oh god i think i grew up ><
27. My biggest issue: Suffering from Piriformissyndrome (sciatica nerve being irritated), and it hurts like hell.
Heh, I shaved my head because I was getting pretty bald on top so I wanted the rest of my head to match! Joints ache too in the wintertime. On diabetes and cholesterol medication. Next year will be 15 year class reunion. Not old yet, but starting to show the signs of wear and tear at 32.
I'm only 22 so not really. I realize 30 is just around the corner though, and while I don't think that's old at all, there's no telling how old I actually will feel then if I don't start taking better care of myself.
I'm 28 and I feel younger than I did about two years ago... Then : Was settled down in a long term relationship that was on a downward spiral, excitement-wise Felt under appreciated at work and stuck in a dead-end position Never got chance to go out with friends Started putting on weight Now : In an exciting, rewarding relationship with someone who has a lot of energy and a sunny personality Am doing a job that makes use of my education and is paying me enough Spend a lot of that money on socialising, staying up all night more than I ever did as a teenager, and playing rowdy gigs with my band Eat better and less as I often cook just for myself when I need it, rather than at 7:00pm sharp because that's tea-time. I am almost completely bald however, but this is no big deal as I shave me bonce and have an impressive beard, hahahahahah It's all in how you let yourself behave, if you think, well, I'm just getting old, you start acting like you're old. I prefer not to.
