Being old, it's not age, it is being wise enough to understand that the things we've seen alters us. It's also the feeling of completely giving up on expectations, and just being so damn happy.
Do as I did, get yourself a midlife crises early, and just see what you are made of.  |
God, Lups.. don't make me face my problems, ok? Let me hide for a bit longer..

It's just this old bag of bones that's betraying me more each year. It's a very old saying, but if I *only* knew back in my 20's what I know now. And not just about love and sex, but about money and self control and critical thinking. When I think of all the stupid things I did and the opportunities I missed....Gawd. 
I mean I just discovered single malt Scotch this year. WTF took me so long? |
There are young men, and wise men.. but no young wise men.
I feel every second slipping by like a needle in my spine now.. thanks guys.
Old man moment - start giving young cashiers/servers attitude for bad service and feel like I have a seniority 'right' to do so.. and they don't make casual talk with me anymore -
