Getting old

Post Reply New Topic

Two years after posting this thread, I'd like to add that another thing about getting older is that the same period of time feels very different in comparison with an analogical one in your childhod and early youth (teenagehood). I turned 18 and legally adult eight years ago which doesn't seem a long time ago at all. It's rather like as if it was maybe two, three years that have passed but almost a whole decade? Yet it's already 8 years (since next month I'll be allowed to say it's already as much as 9 years) which doesn't seem such a long period of time to me. No important changes have taken place in me since then, yet within the same period of time that passed those eight years earlier, I changed a lot both in terms of my physical looks as well as my intellectual development - there is a big difference between a ten and eighteen year old but when we take this eighteen year old to compare them with themselves the next eight years later, such a difference is quite small if we compare this comparison with the one between a child of ten and a young person of eighteen. It's those fast changes I miss a lot from my childhood and adolescence.

I found out I'm old when I noticed that my hair is thinning from the front. The sad part is that I'm only 18. :/

I feel incredibly old. I've barely turned twenty, but comparing myself to my peers I feel less youthful and energetic.

Yes, I don't feel like I've aged at all. I think it has something to do with ADHD and not being aware of the passage of time. It feels like yesterday I was on the playground playing with the kids. Now all those kids are grown up and have or are having kids themselves.

I just turned 28 & I'm rapidly losing the hair on my head. I'm also NOT into parting & things like most people my age. I also think society's values are rapidity going down hill. Kind of ironic that in other ways I have the maturity level of a 13year-old girl

As the comedy rapper Devo Spice formally known as Sudden Death said; "Getting Old Sux"

It really sux to get old, or so I was told
When I was growing up, now I'm watching it unfold
As I'm showing up for work where I have a broken chair
And some carpel tunnel syndrome from too much solitaire
I remember a time not long ago
When my hair was growing thicker on my head than in my nose
And my toes didn't have any hair or weird dents
Now I'm poppin' Rolaids from a Pez dispenser
Everything hurts, or makes a funny noise
And now I have to pay for all of my own toys
And I avoid any physical exertion, I'm amazed
That the simplest tasks leave me sore for days
My prospects for walking get a little bit bleaker
As my butt gets larger and my knees get weaker
And I hate to admit it but it's true
I pulled a muscle in my back while I was tying my shoe

Damn, it sux to get old (huh?)
Damn, it suc to get old (say what?)
Damn, it sux to get old (huh?)
Damn, it sux to get old (what?)

"Ahh..I have no idea what he's saying. I can't understand him one bit. Can you?"
"No, I can't stand him either."

You know you're getting old and things'll never be the same
The day a little kid beats you in a video game
How they remember the moves and the combos and quirks
I'll never know, but hey, I remember the Snorks
When I was a kid we didn't have the internet
Which of course made porn a lot harder to get
And our cars didn't have GPS; we had a mess
Of a map that you couldn't refold for cr@p
I used to stay out late on a date, get drunk
As a skunk, stumble home, get up and feel great
Now, I'm home by eight to watch MacGyver
And the only thing I'm drinking is for supplemental fiber
Back then I would pretend I was Captain Kirk
Now I have a desk and I pretend to work
I don't wanna be a kid again or even twenty-four again
But it would be nice if I could get up off the floor again

Damn, it sux to get old (uh-huh)
Damn, it sux to get old (yep)
Damn, it sux to get old (uh-huh)
Damn, it sux to get old (yep)

"Oh, so you can understand him now?"
"No, I'm just pretending to listen. Like I do with my wife."

"Back when I was a teenager, girls didn't go around shaking their booty and showing their boobs. There was no Girls Gone Wild. Oh God, I'm depressed."

"Back when I was a boy, video games only cost a quarter. And all you were was a dot who ate other dots."

You begin to forget things like
Who you are, where you are, why you're where you are
How'd you get to where you are
and where the hell'd you park the car
And if you walk too far, will you need some CPR?
How'd your life get so bizarre and how the hell'd you get that scar
Your life becomes filled with more questions than answers
Like what happened to the Solid Gold dancers?
Should I get checked for cancer? Do you know where
my pants are? And what the hell's a "male enhancer?"
I don't need fashion tips from gay men
'Cause finally some of my clothes are back in style again
So now I just need to be a little more svelte
And get rid of this gut that's hanging over my belt
I'm checking out the hottie in the checkout line
Her name is Melanie, but it's a felony for what I have in mind
That's a plan that I don't understand
How a thirty-something turns into a dirty old man, but
The worst feeling is the day you realize
Our elected officials are just spewing real lies
One is pure evil so you can't vote for him
But the other one couldn't teach a duck to swim

Damn, it sux to get old (uh-huh)
Damn, it sux to get old (yep)
Damn, it sux to get old (uh-huh)
Damn, it sux to get old (yep)

"Back in my day, Michael Jackson went on dates with Brooke Shields, and he made the most fantastical music. He was the King of Pop, I tells ya!"

"In my day, Yoda was a puppet."

welp, no more eating gummy bears, microwaved food, drinking alcohol or anything that actually tastes good for me! I have to eat fiber. I cant tell you how much i'm looking forward to that!

Oh Hell NO!

Fiber tastes like cardboard. Just eat fruit, it's nature's candy and it does what fiber does.

Too much fibre can mess you up! I never knew until it happened to me.
