What signs have you seen that your getting old.. were not the same young fuckers as we were back in day.. and every day i know i'm getting closer to my place six feet underneath..
To start it up.. The fucking cold hurts my bones.. whats this bullshit.. i hate young people they annoy the fuck out me.. i wan to fucking choke them....
what other things have you noticed...
I bought clogs the other day. I like them.
hair has stopped growing out of the top of my head, but has started growing out of my ears. Getting grey in my temples.
Can't drink all night, get two hours of sleep, and wake up feeling like a champ. Takes about a full 24 hours before I feel human again.
I'm answering questions like this.
all sorts of hair thinning problems
I can grow a full beard (with a full man stach)
Memory isn't like it used to be and my brain is no longer a sponge.
If I don't get 6-8 hours I'm not getting up in the morning, and if I some how do, I feel horrible.
Applying the word "Jailbait" in describing a young lady and meaning it; for however small an amount of time.
My personal favorite are the mysterious pains that crop up from time to time.
Also, hating anybody under 25.
The sad the thing is, I'm sure we all were annoying at some point in our youth. Gotta love the circle of life.Quote:

You stop drinking shots and you drink more wine.
Receding hairline. I just noticed it a few weeks ago. Fuck that noise. I'm about to get a weave.
I just had to have surgery on my butthole, if that's not a sign that I'm gettin old I don't know what is.
Hair, also just starting to reach the point where I can't eat pizza every day and maintain the exact same weight. I'm not a fat ass and I was never in shape, but I've put on like 10 pounds or so for the first time since I was like 19
I don't ever recall having problems putting my socks on, but now, in the morning, it feels like I am breaking all my bones just to put my socks on. WTF.
My hair is still intact, thankfully.
As for signs... Whenever I'm at work, surrounded by Loyola Marymount students I refer to them as, "You kids."
I think 10pm is pretty late on most nights.
I enjoy going to a dinner party with some friends, where one of the wives makes the dinner/desserts/etc. and we chat about politics and such stuff.
I found a grey hair yesterday. I was depressed all day about it.
And I've started to wear some clothes for their comfort value. Not so much because they look good.
Getting old sucks, you guys.
The first time I got heartburn, I was like...wtf is that?
Hair growing out of ears and nose.
Current music is grating on the ears and you wish it were like the old days ... aka '80's or early '90's.
You take naps.
It takes longer for aches and pains to go away.
Ugh. And hangovers!Quote:

Yeah, but you're a dude. I thought guys dressed like that their whole lives.
No I like getting dressed up. I feel more confident.
Not really. Go out to a place where single guys congregate. It's like a whole room of clones, but they're all dressed fancy trying to impress chicks.Quote:

This is probably as much the music industry being fucked up now than you getting old. I still find new music to listen to, but I have to work a lot harder to find it, going to random live shows, etc.Quote:

lol @ all you suckers with aches and pains who are way younger than I am!
Get in shape you lazy sobs, your body will thank you for it.
I'm pretty cool with getting old actually. I miss being able to grow hair, but physically I'm doing awesome.
I thought I found a grey chest hair but it was only light blonde... really really REALLY light blonde... >_>
Kid, I played sports for the better part of 25 years, aches and pains are a given when you've broken bones, etc.

OMG! LET'S COMPARE INJURIES NOW!
___stop it____
I'm not old but I think my body is falling apart. I have trouble throwing a baseball these days if I'm not constantly maintaining my throwing arm and my knees have turned to absolute shit, sometimes significantly slowing me down if I have to run. I can't wait to see how I'm feeling in 20 years.
Also: Hair-loss
Depending on the injury it will go a long way though.Quote:

Which you know about me because I have posted my picture and don't hang out behind a fake internet persona. ^_^Quote:

I've posted my picture, scrub.
LOL AT BIFF deleting his post!
Remember guys he had 26 arm injuries and 3 broken ribs.
Everytime one of those compilation CDs are sold on TV and its all music you listed to in High School.
Ask someone who just got their license what year they were born in. Recoil in horror how you were in at least high school when they were BORN.
Nice, this thread is now about old people and their flaccid penises.

Heh. I remember the first time (years ago sadly) I saw one of those cds come out and thought:Quote:

HOLLA!
So far, achy joints (not just due to cold, but tendinitis), my poor sight, and hearing someone say they were born in a year that I vividly remember are the only things that make me feel old.
There isn't a CEO on this planet that could sell snow shoes to a barefooted eskimo...Quote:

Shit just hurts more and things like tendonitis last a hell of a lot longer than in the old days. You'll be able to do and lift more if you are in shape, but the idea that it's going to eliminate the aches and pains of getting older just isn't true.
Amen MVS
A low body fat percentage doesn't neccisarily mean you are healthy. (note - I have no idea if you are or not)Quote:

This is all obviously anecdotal evidence based on things I've experienced, but the multitude of studies backing up my claims surely aren't.
Is eating healthy and getting in shape a magic bullet that will make all your aches and pains go away?
Of course not.
All I am saying is getting healthy is going to do a ton to combat the wear and tear of old age.

I know a ton of people that absolutely swear by the chiro.

I go once a month, keeps me from falling apart. Also, I can't drink worth a shit anymore. Horrific hangovers have made me all but swear off alcohol. I'll have a drink and that's it, I can't remember the last time I was drunk.Quote:

The older you get, the more shit just hurts. You deal with it however you have to and you don't let it prevent you from doing the things you want to do, but it is there.
I used to go to a chiropractor every month, and thought it keeping more physically able.
I haven't seen one in 6 years a haven't noticed any difference. I think it's useful if there's an injury or something actively putting you out of alignment, but the monthly "tune-ups" seem pretty bogus. Your body can pop most things back where they belong through normal range of motions.
When you realize that music is no longer being made for you.
Made for or marketed to?
Both.Quote:

Sure, it'll help keep your muscles in shape, but very little can be done to help stop the pains of arthritis. I know someone that was pretty much screwed over at the age of 18, because of rheumatoid arthritis.Quote:

yeah, watching the older generation of awesome people get old and die really sucks. Because honestly, they are not being replaced.
Who's pushing entertainment these days? Video game makers? Online bloggers? What?
Movie stars? Who? Jim Carey and Jack Black?
Thank you SO much for finding this. I really like that song.Quote:

My bad, maybe I've been misterpreting that my entire childhood.
You know you're old when it's a Saturday morning and you're up posting in this thread before 9am.
.....shit
What if you never went to sleep yet, does that count?
You are old by the way. That's why you can't get your dick up anymore without help.
..or when it's Saturday morning and you don't care about what cartoons are on TV. Bakyugan? THE HELL? We had Thunderbirds 2086 (not the crappy puppet show), Starblazers, Robotech, Transformers.....

Especially when he can't.
Buying more classic video game packs/VC games than newer release games.
- As far as you're concerned, they stopped making new music in 1998.
- You don't want to go out, anywhere at all because you're too lazy and it's too dark, too cold.. etc.
- You don't want to go to Uptown/Downtown because you don't want to deal with one way streets, parking, crowds, etc.
-You've completely given up dating chics who are over 30 because they'd probably have too many issues.
Not going to bars in the winter. Screw that, I'll stay inside my warm house and drink....except I think I've developed allergies to certain liquors. Bah.
I was pretty sure this thread was going to be about maruchan playing grab ass with the Devil.
How about when all the bands that were cool to you in college are now only seen on VH1 Classic? :cry:Quote:

That having been said, I don't do the club scene anymore; small gatherings at my place or a friend's place will do just fine. I hate the new music. Most of the "new music" I've gotten into in the past couple years is actually old stuff that I missed growing up, or was before my time.
Also, the hairline has receded a bit. It's not bad, and certainly not anywhere close to the baldy realm, but I'm clearly not a teenager anymore. In the event that I do go into full-blown balding mode later, fuck fighting it. I'm gonna sport the Carville, and sport it proud.

At a Christmas party, a bunch of us dudes in our early 30's were talking about how we need to watch what we eat, have aches/pains we've never had, general stuff about seeing the doc.
I thought to myself, "Aaaaand this is the start of what will pass as small talk for the next 40 years."
First time in my life I felt old.
how has this not been mentioned already:
you know you're old when you make a thread like this.

The trick is to find yourself something you're really good at, whether you like it or not, take however long you need to make a sizable nest egg, and then pursue something that's really of interest to you. Easy as it is to become jaded, if you have a plan and keep your eyes on the prize, you can power through it.
and listen to plenty of Phil Collins and Genesis when the times get tough.Quote:

And since they're too stupid to guide their kids properly their kids will follow the same pattern. Some won't really notice or mind this, some will hate their lives but be too addicted to the lifestyle to withdraw. Most just stay in their lucid states throughout life but occassionally one wakes up and can tune. Even a pawn can become a queen.Quote:

You have a stack of games, unopened, on the shelf and don't have time to play/finish them because of work.
-You've been posting on a site about a 20 year old game system for close to 10 years.
