Things that make you feel old

I didn't watch a single March Madness game this year. Didn't even fill out a bracket.

 

That just makes you seem sad, not old.

 

I can literally fall asleep at any moment if I'm on the couch. I Can no longer eat anything fried, found that out the hard way, and by the hard way I mean I ate chicken wings and then got on a plane for three hours. Yes, I was that guy. Alcohol-wise, I can only drink scotch, congac and wine or I get a headache that sounds like a bass pattern

 

I too stopped watching, but last year, and nothing was effected lol

 

That's weird. This year was the same way for me, a first. I was on a business trip and just said 'meh,' but I did watch a couple of five-minute stretches of games in airports.

And @Fantasma Negro so true on the fried food. Miss it, of course.

 

Same here. I'm usually into March Madness, but just caught parts of games here and there this year. I think I'm suffering from Post-November Depression. Something like that. I hope it isn't terminal. Agree with both of you about fried foods. I love stuff like chicken fried steak, onion rings, and all the other fried stuff Texans and expatriate Texans desire. Not supposed to eat it, though. I don't have the "airplane problem," like Fantasma Negro, but I do have a Lipid problem. Since I'm hoping to live long enough to watch Mankind land on Mars and walk around, I need to watch that stuff closely - while I eat it.

 

I haven't watched a Rockets game in over five seasons.

Not quite the time span, but when I bumped this thread I thought it had been about 2 years -- it surprised me enough to make a comment about it.

Time flies.

 

Its some smaller things that are reminders. Like, usually a nice SHAVE and haircut makes me look much younger instead of aged. But now a shave and haircut for younger appearance doesnt work anymore, just reveals more oldness. Worsened eyesight makes me feel as worn and broken down as sore bones can do. Okay, increased grey hairs a giveaway. Also everyone is starting to look like a "baby" to me, and its 30-somethings with multiple kids. Teens look like little kids even the ones that try to look older.

Ive mostly gotten over how long ago the pop culture of my youth is. 10-20-50 years back, irrelevancy can happen at any time to anything. Out with old in with new. I'm actually surprised at the staying power of 50's through 80's culture. Its more that I HAVENT kept UP with NEWER trends enough, that is what makes me feel antiquated.

The one sad pop culture thing is when I see a celeb's name from "my day" mentioned in news, expecting it to be a death announcement now .

 

Day drinking turns into bed time by 6pm.

 

Cardi B and triplet.... what is this?

 

When I look at the "where are they now" from the late 90s, early 2000s WCW / WWE Wrestlers.

 

Turning 43. My life is halfway over.

 

If you are lucky it is half way over.

 

Dentures or implants. Damn, implants are expensive. Stupid teeth.

 

Realizing that you didn't trust a fart once again

 

Definitely seeing NBA players come into the league, and they were born in 98.

You are less than 7 years away from buying Centrum Silver vitamins! I thought this information might lift your spirits.


GOOD DAY

 

Even MORE TRUE now. When I see a celeb name on Yahoo, Facebook, Bing in "Current Trending" section, THEY DEAD cuz OLD.

Living in SoCal, can kinda keep a pulse on trends just from pure proximity to things. Didnt feel in, but was never "lost". Being away from there a while, I don't have A CLUE whats going on in anything. There's an event coming up with 30 dj acts. I'm like ... Something actually needs 30 DJ's, that people WANT to go to?!

 

Only if your a Japanese-American women or a Seventh-day Adventist.

Average American white male dies at 76, 38 was the half mark.
