I'm getting old
« on: August 22, 2012, 12:53:06 AM »
Well, maybe not old, but definitely prematurely grey.

I went to get a haircut today and watched little white hairs come down along with my regular hair. It runs in the family, my dad was mostly grey by 20 (but he still has all his hair and he's 61)

Maybe it can work to my advantage with the older women.

Still, it's a little bit sobering. I'm getting old(er).

Get used to it. Its all downhill from here. Just wait until the barber asks you if you would like your eyebrows trimmed at the same time :old: And ear hair runs riot exponentially in direct contrastt the increasing shininesd of your napper :banana:

I've gone from one extreme to the other in the last 6 months. I looked like I was 15 at the start of February, but someone yesterday thought I was 25.

Dont worry Tupac, youre not alone.

If you have studyed German, you know there are two types of "you": du and Sie. We got the same stuff in hungarian.
Three weeks ago i was holding a camp for a folk dance group, as a musician. At the first dinner, a 17 y.o. pretty girl came to me with a trayful of cookie and asked: Wünchen Sie...? I asked her, what she thought, how old i am, why she said "Sie" instead of "du"? She said, 35... just guess my melt down face, im 21 dangit... and i was freshly shaved that evening, no bristle or anything.

When this happens, you know that you are getting older.

 :rofl Let me tell you about getting old. I just got glasses for the first time in my life a few weeks ago...bifocals no less and I have a cataract on my right eye. I get up 2 or 3 times a night to pee and I'm getting to the point where sex is more trouble then it's worth. I'm starting to feel like Al Bundy. :frown:
My aches and pains are a everyday thing too. I pulled a muscle in my arm during a fight with the boy down the street (he's mid 30s), and I'm still sore from that. I handed him a good ole country arse whippin', but I walked away feeling like I was the one that got whipped.  :mad:
I haven't drank any booze in ages as I just don't like the feeling of being buzzed anymore and I always feel like crap the next day. I used to drink every night and go to work the next day. I wouldn't even try that now.  :(
My coworkers call me "old man" or "dad". Yesterday one guy told me I needed a "update"...whatever the hell that means.  :furious
I can't remember the last time I went to bed after 10 o'clock. I'm usually in bed by 8...9 at the lastest.
Everyday at work we listen to the oldies channel on the radio. Several of the songs I remember playing in high school band.  :bhead

Ah getting old! You really know you're getting old when you begin to find 'older women' attractive. Then you find out most of them are younger than you.  :cry

ah come on man, I went bald at 27, then it came back white, now its all back but black, and thicker than a mofo.  our old apartment had black mold in the basement and caused all my hair to fall out, was wierd, it all came back as white as paper and took FOREVER for it to grow, the more I shaved my face and cut the hair on my head the faster it came back and black.

   Avoid stress if you can. My younger brother has gone grey probally from owning his own business. We go to dinner and the waitress says "You guys Brothers?" "Yes", I reply "Who is older I ask." They usally gets a good tip from me.  :D

I avoid stress as much as I can, but between wimmenz and airplanes (mostly wimmenz though) stress finds me.
