Fuk I feel old, I no longer get carded when buying smokes, I take fuking naps, I actually caught myself turning down my car stereo.
What makes you feel old?

I sort screws into jars in my basement workshop for weekend fun. Makes me old and a hopeless dork.

FOR SHAME!
hearing hit songs from high school played on the local 'classic rock' station makes me feel old.

I chaperoned a field trip for my 5 year old today...being around a bunch of people no higher than my hip made me feel very old. (Some MILFs up in that piece tho, y0)
Other things:
- Gray hair creeping into my goat, burns, and the sides of my head.
- Taking pleasure in yardwork.
- Being around people who weren't born before the year I graduated highschool.
- Back pain.
- Having to watch what I eat/drink; not out of concern for my weight, but for the potential gastric repercussions.
- Feeling my hackles raise after hearing someone use to many "like's" and "you know's".
- Mortage payments, taxes, leases, contracts, and other financial or legal instruments.

come to see yardwork and gardening as therapy and exercise,
Groaning, making any kind of noise(including farts)
when getting up or down.
When classic rock tured to Oldies for sure, Stones and Cream on Muzak
Listening to NPR, liking it and discussing it w/ my Dad

Ha but I'm not old and never will be old. I plan to die young in a dramatic carchase that extends onto a race car track
The biggest sign that you're too old is when you take long times to walk short distances. On Monday at work I stood watching an old guy who was playing bingo take like 10 mins to walk from his seat to the stage (10metres away)

- Realizing you understand the viewpoint of your 50-year-old coworkers just as well as -- if not better than -- that of your average 21-year-old.
- Being in a bar amidst a sea of fresh-faced youthful drinkers and thinking, "Man, this place sure has a lax carding policy" and then 5 seconds later you realize they're all like 24.
- Appreciating the fine nubile form of these young hookers and then realizing you're that lecherous 30-something dude that you used to see eying your friends and despise. Not that I have a problem with lechery -- I just hate having that viewpoint turned around on me.
- Conceiving of the bar scene as a scene, and actually realizing what it means to be tired of it. "I'm bored here. Let's go home and read."
- Overhearing two geezers discuss for thirty minutes the minutiae of the walnut cranberry salad one of them made last night, and, instead of scoffing and then telling your friends the next day the crazy stupid shit you heard two old bastards drone on about, you cock your head and kind of eavesdrop because it sounds like a good salad and this kind of shit is interesting to you.
- Listening to popular music and lamenting how thoroughly stupid, derivative and unoriginal it is, and remembering people saying that about your music when you were a kid, and realizing they were probably just as right about you as you are about the kids.
Conversely, the things I love about no longer being young:
- Still being able to party like college kids because you've learned how not to be John Belushi about your intoxicant usage.
- Total independence.
- Being able to count on being taken seriously by the older folks.
- Getting to watch with glee as your younger friends make the same goddamn stupid mistakes you made as a kid, and you know better now, and they still don't yet. For example, hi chex!
- Not being as stupid. You know what I'm talking about. This is the gift that keeps on giving, because just as you can look at yourself at 18 and 25 and go "Damn, I was stupid," you'll probably get to say that about yourself every 5 or 10 years. This is why listening when old people want to talk is cool.

waking up with a mystery pain in a random body part, and grimacing around all day wondering if my two-year-old snuck up and hit me with a bat while i slept. next day, pain gone.
the clash is now classic rock.
greys in the beard.
i grow a garden, know way too much about various bird species, and get really psyched about going fishing.
all punk music sounds just like the sex pistols.
i go to auctions and covet table saws.
enjoying red pasta sauces requires a serious time commitment later, for pooping.
took a dive off a 6-foot stepladder and wasn't immediately sure that i was getting up.

- Realizing you understand the viewpoint of your 50-year-old coworkers just as well as -- if not better than -- that of your average 21-year-old.
Additionally, discovering that you're completely disconnected from pop-culture discussions. You can no longer fathom what any particular commercial is selling you, you cna't even differentiate the "show" form the ads.
Conceiving of the bar scene as a scene, and actually realizing what it means to be tired of it. "I'm bored here. Let's go home and read."
And having your younger friend say: "I didn't realize guys your age used the internet for anything other than email."
Overhearing two geezers discuss for thirty minutes the minutiae of the walnut cranberry salad one of them made last night, and, instead of scoffing and then telling your friends the next day the crazy stupid shit you heard two old bastards drone on about, you cock your head and kind of eavesdrop because it sounds like a good salad and this kind of shit is interesting to you.
Tell me about this salad.
Conversely, the things I love about no longer being young:
- Still being able to party like college kids because you've learned how not to be John Belushi about your intoxicant usage.
Yeah. The downside is getting started and not wanting to in favor of chilling out on the sofa you own that is housed in the house that you own for the purpose of chilling out on the sofa. The upside is once you get your viking on, watching each and every one of those faux vikings who were so recently calling you a pussy cry about wanting to go to sleep. That is the very best.
- Getting to watch with glee as your younger friends make the same goddamn stupid mistakes you made as a kid, and you know better now, and they still don't yet. For example, hi chex!
It is the sweetest schadenfreud.
- Not being as stupid. You know what I'm talking about. This is the gift that keeps on giving, because just as you can look at yourself at 18 and 25 and go "Damn, I was stupid," you'll probably get to say that about yourself every 5 or 10 years. This is why listening when old people want to talk is cool.
Plus, 80% of the shit that they did for fun is now full regulated or illegal. Vicarious enjoyment is all you'll get now.
Also, I like the grays in my beard and burns. I'm working on a full on Ras Al Ghul for myself.

Reading the forum entitled Gorillaz and wondering if someone was starting up a a thread about the Gorilla gorilla from the Mountain jungles of Zaire, Rwanda, and Uganda or the Eastern Lowland Gorilla, Gorilla gorilla graueri found in the tropical forests of eastern Zaire, Africa or maybe Western Lowland Gorilla, Gorilla gorilla gorilla who lives in tropical rainforests in Western Africa.
NO, it was about a musical group I have never heard of and most likely will never listen to.
Sometimes reading LinkSwarm I get to feel REALLY OLD everyday.

In general, I don't feel particularly old though I am older than many peeps here, but maybe that is due to me being immature. I prefer to believe I am young and wild at heart, and unaffected by artificial social concepts of age. |

All of the above ( from LK down ) but the one that really brings it home is knowing that I can fuck a girl more than half my age ( I wish ) and not have to worry about a statutory rape charge rearing it's ugly head.

I don't agree with any of the contributions made about aging in this thread. I have no feelings of duality within me that tell me what to think about myself presently. It sounds to me that all of you have a "young" perception of the world you are grudgingly holding on to. Sadly, whenever that perception collides with your present reality, expectations of "who you are" and "who you wish to be" start a balltle royal for mind supremacy.
Be mindful of the truth, it shall set you free.

old fuks!
I just get off telling my friends that they aren't young anymore--it's like they deflate with a sigh because they realize that they are old enough to own up to it.
I thinks its like a pie in the oven, just done--not raw like some people like it and not burnt up either.

I started watching SNL for the first time in almost a decade and when the music set starts I asked out loud, “what in sweet monkey fuck is this?” I guess at my tender age I have become pop culture illiterate. What makes me feel old is that I don’t give a rats ass.
