body just doesn't recover as well as it used to. i'm 30...will be 31 this weekend...and i jog pretty regularly over 2 miles or so. but any time i do short sprints...playing football or something...then it just beats me up the next morning.
When I stopped getting carded which happened until i was about 32. Im now 34 and people can tell Im old. What's a good face rejuvenator? Clinique?
A: When I farted dust. I can't remember any of the other lame old jokes that I heard in jr. high. Maybe that is the the real sign right there.
That day really hurt. When i knew...without any doubt...the only time i'll get carded is when they're messing about
I'm fortunate that I still look pretty young, although I do find a few white hairs here and there, I feel my age all internally. I like to tell people when I play sports, "I look like I'm in my 20's but my joints feel like they are in the 50's."
I went to my doctor this morning. The clinic is located in a hospital. I ws really dismayed that they had proudly named the clinic the "Center for Healthy Aging"
So innocent and naive there, smarty...one day you're on top of the world...the next you're just another old horse .... The day will come when you'll find yourself sitting in a bar without ID, fretting about being carded...and then realizing it ain't going to happen. That's a sad day. You'll stay at that bar a long time...
On my 21st birthday, I went to Stop-N-Go to buy a wine cooler (I was sober at the time, but just wanted to buy alcohol since I could) and the girl behind the counter looked at me and said "that will be $1.53."
I was talking to a pre-teen about the movie National Treasure, and asked her if it was as good as Raiders of the Lost Ark. "What's that?" "You know, Indiana Jones." "Never seen it." "You should. Harrison Ford is classic in that trilogy." "Who's he?" /falls in faint
This is very Al Pacino-esque. To make it more authentic: So fu*king innocent and naive there, Mr. Smarty ass sh*t for brains...one day you're on top of the world...the next you're just another old fu*king horse .... The day will come when you'll find yourself sitting in a bar without ID, fretting about being fu*king carded...and then realizing it ain't going to happen. That's a sad fu*king day. You'll stay at that fu*king bar a long time......fu*king sh*t head.
I could come up with reams of moments when I realized I'd become "old" or "older," but the worst thing in the last year was when my son's former martial arts instructor, although he had met me a couple of times before, referred to me as my 13 year old son's Grandfather. The fool was 3 feet from me. If looks could kill, the dumb azz would be six feet under. Really, it hit me one day, many years ago, when I looked in the mirror and saw a stranger. I had always been one of those guys who looked younger than he was, and got carded, sometimes, well into my 20's. I was looking in the mirror, and realized that, instead of looking younger than I was, I looked older than I was. At least I had a hell of a good time getting there. Nice topic idea, Falcon. Maybe it's been done before, but I don't remember it. Age?
The first time I couldn't remember my age. Blowing by college punks on the Ultimate field makes it all feel better though.
identify with you there. I hate when that happens. "What, this is 'classic' already?" Even my traditional students are only 10 years younger than me, which seems like it shouldn't matter, but they don't have some of the same cultural references. For example, I used to say, "this element is lithium. It is used in lithium carbonate medicine, to treat bipolar disorder. Does anyone remember that Nirvana song 'Lithium'?" And no one does. Blank stares. I guess I'm just showing that I come from way back in the early 90's...
Just recently I've noticed a sudden proliferation of BACK HAIR. I've never really noticed any before, and now in my early 30's boom, a sudden proliferation, like the dormant back hair gene just exploded. WTF?
