Man, is it me or is the fact that as you get older shit starts to fall apart?



do you get more cranky as you get older? sick? health problems?

share people! share!

unfortunately, im feeling my age more and more these days.....

I believe ... that your thoughts about age reflect outward

if you feel old and think you are falling apart

then bingo ... the body manifests your thoughts


i dont feel much different @ 41 then i did in highschool

i do feel alot more experienced but nold Old ... and i certainly dont feel like i am falling apart, if anything in my life right now i feel really good... better then i did even a yr ago

well no it's not like that. i think it's just down to lack of meaningfull exercise. plus a few bugs going around don't make matters better either.

fortunately my brain is in relative tip top condition.

Milty said:

actually, i'm feeling and looking better now at 35 than i ever have. i think most of it is DUE to things falling apart as i get older, and the fact that i *HAVE* to take better care of myself...i don't stay out late on work nights, i don't drink like i used to, i go to the gym regularly, blah blah blah. i figure if i can't go out and do unhealthy stuff like i used to, i might as well fill that time doing things that are healthy. seems to be working.

i feel better as i age

I just thought about this the other day as I found a gray hair



It's a total bitch... my joints be trippin'

oh man, i have so much grey hair it's not even funny. at least it's not falling out of my head, though. i'm very grateful for that.

Anx said:

eh, there is nothing wrong with grey hair. You wear it VERY well kitty.

things I've noticed:

-the hangovers are WAY worse

-my metabolism slows down more and more every year

-if I have a night of crazy dancing, I feel it in my back and knees for days

-if I am in bed for much longer than 8 hours, I have to get up due to back pain

the BIGGEST change i can tell in my age is that i used to be able to go out on a weeknight and party till 4 or 5am, get an hour or two of sleep, then go to work that morning and hold my own till i could go home and get some rest.

that doesn't work anymore. if i stay out late on a weeknight, i can't go to work the next day. it just ain't gonna happen. period. getting proper sleep is becoming more and more non-negotiable to me.

i kinda welcome that change, though.

aww shucks, thank ya.

Mach said:

that's cool. you told me your feelings and i told you my thoughts. nothing wrong with that right?

endorphin74 said:

ya that's pretty much it with me too. oh and the grey hair thing, chicks dig it.

I love getting older. I wanna look like Samuel Beckett and be a grumpy old bastard, pee myself and get away with it.

You can also masturbate in public and just be guided home as authotarial punishment.

i've decided i'm going to be a ranty old german man when i get old, just like brother theodore. i'm going to yell a lot and get my spittle on people. i mean, i already do that NOW, but it'll be different when i'm old.

Milty said:

nadda thing wrong ... i was playin

Anx said:

I'm also going to pretend I'm senile and deaf so I find out what people really think of me.

Number23 said:

that's clever. i think i'll do that too, and in addition fancy myself an amateur sleuth, like that murder she wrote lady.

Anx said:

Well, Columbo pretended he was a bit dim to get the truth too. So there's the link between our comments. I would have shagged Angela Langberry (?) back in tha day before gravity began taking the piss.

endorphin74 said:

SO true, though I've had that for years It used to be an off & on thing (I love sleeping 10 hours when I can!!! ) but it's worse now...

Mach said:

You seem to have such a nice and harmonious life, at peace with yourself and others. I'm jealous of that. We should all get to have a house in the mountains, a caring family and great soap-making skills.

Anx said:

DUDE!!! I am a complete fucking MESS if I don't get 6 hours or more - I can't even function on 5 hours these days, let alone 2 hours or no sleep at all

MAN, that used to be something - being "spry"

For me its a fact, whenever i receive 8 solid hours of sleep, im an entirely different, more with it, energetic individual.

Anx said:

You look fantastic!

I'm quickly learning that I'm not 21 anymore. I still try to push myself as hard as ever, but the law of diminishing returns is setting in hardcore.

CalhounSq said:

and I HATE it. I miss sleeping for 12-14 hours from time to time!
