I don't envy you at all! Even though I don't usually sleep for more than 5 hours at a time, I like knowing that I still can.

sometimes i wonder if it's a matter of age or a matter of refinement - i always felt like chapped ass when i'd go to work sleep-deprived and hungover, i think one day i just decided not to put myself through that anymore. it's all about standards...

When I worked my stupid corporate job, I thought it wa funny to show-up at work half crocked still from the night before. And, half my team did that 3 days a week.

Now that I have a "real" job that I actually care about. I no longer think it's funny. Instead I find it sad. If I'm hungover/useless at my job due to lack of sleep from being out, I get rather down on myself and just try to hide.

AND, it's kinda hard to talk with a client SERIOUSLY about their chemical dependency concerns when I am dying from over-indulgence

the funny thing is, i think i'm getting to understand the rhythm my body likes best, and i'm conforming to it rather than fighting it.

i like morning. i like being awake in the morning. i like being up for sunrise. i can't help it, it's what i like. i like getting stuff done in the morning, too.

i think i was always this way, but it was hard to party all night and then reconcile what my body was wanting in the morning. if that makes sense.

i don't like sleeping in the daytime. i think it's gross, unless i'm having a nice summer nap in front of a fan or something. that's different.

Most of my life I've been a night owl. I'm still in that phase of getting my most creative work done at night.

But I also am having to apply myself fully during the day more and more often lately.

So for me, it's a matter of balancing my left and right brains and figuring out what the day requires of me. I'm flexible like that.

But look where it got me this week!

I am so stealing "chapped ass"



True though, what you're saying Plus my job is 1000x more demanding than it was back in my party days...

Well coming from experience..

Sometimes it feels like every body part needs oil.. But for the most part it is wonderful..

I am getting older, it shows in my face.

Agree with so many things on this thread. It's like Help The Aged in here.

When I was younger, I always thought your body would become more resilient to hangovers.

I remember way back when I could go out five, sometimes six, nights a week and roll into work the next day. And still do a good day's work. If I tried that now I'd look like a sack of potatoes.

But, otherwise, I quite like getting older. I'm more aware of my limitations and feel more destructible but I'm much happier and comfortable in myself.

Bring on the zimmer!

It all starts to sag and droop and push out. SOme days I'm like "er better stay off that side for a bit...I feel an ankle sprian coming on". Digestive system also goes haywire.

Anx said:

Somehow I can see that happening. It's a clear vision,

HUSH YOUR FILTHY MOUTH!!!!
















really? ya think?

I need less sleep to get by on, than ever before. I can function on five hours now. In fact, if I sleep for more than seven hours, I feel groggy the day after. Getting older isn't all bad.

Age is Age, cigarettes are the killer!

That describes me perfectly!

just take my name its not real im not that old, its just how i feel.

back in the 90's I had a back operation to remove a disk from my lower back, since then i have felt like im old. some guys have already said thatthey cant sleep for 8 hours with out waking up to back ache i know what you mean. 6 hours it my tops and I now work shifts which dont help.

The worst times that my back plays up is in the winter when its cold and damp, the ache never seems to give up untill the weather starts to warm up (that will be around August in the UK).

The doctors tell me i should loose some weight and give up smoking and DO the exercises they have told me. doing the exercises causes more pain so I dont do them. maybe im afraid that by doing them will cause more problems. I m told that if i dont do them i could end up with cronic back problems.

so I sit here at work talking to you guys which is a no no siting courses more probems but what the hell you only live once right!!! im think im trying the doing the right thing!! am I?

Thats why it is stupid to celebrate your birthday and New years day. Why celebrate a year closer to false teeth, and death!!!

I see you in a rocking chair of sorts or maybe sitting on a park bench feeding the pidgeons and you'd have a posse that would love your stories of old...they just have to endure the spittle...which slightly unbeknowest to them you actually control.

You celebrate that you survived the past year me thinks.
