What makes you feel old? (1 Viewer)

[Rove!]

I don't understand why people feel old because some random celebrity is a certain age or you saw some ballplayer's father play baseball when you were younger,

You really don't understand this? it seems pretty simple. It's the simple realization of how much time has truly passed...

Some nerdy kid also called me sir while I was still in high school. That was weird.

Is this the culprit?

I get that, but it makes you feel old? Knowing that Monica Lewinsky is 40 or Andy Van Slykes kid is playing? It doesn't change the realization of my age. I'm just pretty optimistic I guess and I hope I never really feel old. Real things can make me feel it but outside of that, I just look forward and don't worry much about the past. Life is way too short to worry about such minor things and let them make you feel old.

the fact that my teen age crush, Princess Di, would be a grandmother now.

GILF!!!!!!!!

My boss is the same age as my oldest daughter

 

[datonn]

The fact that my Mom is a great-grandmother (younger sister has a 21 yo daughter, who has a 12 month old son).

Oh yeah, and thinking to myself: "listen to some of these 25-30 year old guys...talking about feeling old!"

Joint pain after a hard workout.

Getting a second look from a hot chick and thinking, yea, I still got it instead of, I'd tap that.

I just posted Britney Spears' Oops, I Did It Again as part of a joke response to a Facebook post, which prompted me to look her up on Wikipedia... where I found that she's now been in the public spotlight for half of her 32 years of age.

i have to wear an old man brace for my bad tennis elbow

I used to ride fences all day long. The next day, the horse was useless. Now it takes me a week to get over a day in the saddle.

That's a very melancholy tale there, desperado.

Needing recovery time after I rub one out.

Used to be I could slap the monkey and go about my business with a smile on my face. Now I need to lay about lazily for a couple hours, maybe take a nap.

Say, does anyone know how old Brad Pitt is?

I work at a University so, basically, life.

Oh, dear God. I am so sorry. Went back to take a class at the State U where I reside. Walked in, and it was all twenty year-old guys in either V-neck t-shirts (jacked, of course), wide-brim (yes, Brony) hats (often under 5'8", of course), or hoodies (we were generally all the overweight ones).

Nothing spectacularly different, but it was the girls dressed to the hilt. The girls -- only the girls -- had clunky, plastic glasses I used to wear as an ironist in the 90's. I sat silently in jeans and a pocket T. Old man hipster graduate once upon a time; now co-opted and branded glam.

The other day I took my 13 year old nephew swimming at a local spot where college kids go to drink and cliff jump. I was hanging out, cliff jumping, having a good time, talking to everyone. Then this hot 19 year old girl looks at me wide-eyed, and I'm thinking, yea fly, you still got it, when she leans over to my nephew and asks, "Is that your dad?"



"No," he said.

"Well I was going to say, you have a real cool dad."

This should have helped things, but really, it didn't.

The long days and crazy hours are much harder to recover from. It used to be nothing to go from a 8am to 2am gig and be back the next morning or a 10pm to 8am job and be up for a noon setup. But at almost 50, the physical toll is starting to catch up with me.

Forgetting what made me feel old the last time I thought about getting old.

 

[Riversco]

In the Dodgers As world series, when old man Kirk Gibson hobbled up to the plate and hit that home run off the Dennis Eckersley. That decrepit old man was 31 years old.

I watched a documentary last week on the Ali-Holmes fight when Ali came out of retirement at the ripe old age of 38.

Remember that well, he never should have fought.

Nothing makes me feel old like going to sleep using that damned CPAP machine.

some kids currently in high school were born in the year 2000

Met a chick yesterday and after we had been taking for a bit she mentions she is 18. It occurred to me that I am old enough to be her dad. Don't know if that makes me feel good or bad, but it definitely makes me feel old.

Don't feel old yet but I guess the day my balls touch the toilet water when I take a #### would be one of the signs.

Oh I was at Red Rocks last night. Rowdy Town - Big Gigantic W/Motet. Average age of the crowd I would say was about 22. I felt old but still got my swerve on.

 

[moleculo]

yesterday I volunteered at a local beer festival. I checked IDs of everyone coming in. People born in September of 1993 are now of leagal drinking age.

If that's not enough right there, there were folks complaining about how old they clearly are, and doing schtick about really needing to show their ID...turns out they were younger than me.

More specifically, snapchatting with a 26 YO girl regularly because I'm like the cool uncle she never had makes me feel old.

Yeah - my 17 yr. old does it constantly. It consists of taking/sending pictures of yourself every 20 seconds or so.

Apparently its fascinating and addictive if you like taking pictures of yourself.

I'm constantly finding noise levels too loud. Always wanting to turn down the TV or move to a quieter area.
