Current Events > It's like you get old overnight, other 30+ cemen notice that?

(+) Yeah! (+)

2009 is like yesterday, brock lesnar is big in the UFC and it's always sunny has only been on the air for a few years, not 15

Man, it's wild. Skittles vodka is still cool enough for losers to do it, the old internet was way different, and the paintball episode of community is breaking new ground on network tv, cuz streaming don't matter... Most of all, the future is wide open. You can do anything

Brother, those were the days. Blink and it's 2020, your joints hurt, don't no one care about you any more except you. That's it, all there is is 401ks and raises. Yeah, you can afford anything you want, but you don't really want anything any more. Maybe you never did...

Yes the internet used to be much different ( I miss YTMND but YouTube is alright).

I'm an aging skater, which is kind of like being an old punk but not falling apart as badly.

I have grey hairs whiskers which will eventually give me the desired pepper-daddy look if I take care of myself.

It definitely comes fast

I know its clich and not for everyone but the wife and kids thing is pretty awesome. Really hard though, but I feel you on the part about not wanting things

my spare dough goes to #chill and massages

Rog0 lets write the great millennial novel six words at a time. Ill start.

Was there anything left to do?

Life is short and contrary to what is often said, spending it seeking pleasure, wealth and fame is what makes it hollow.

There is a joy in having a functional gate.

Btw, what is stopping an old man from having pleasure?

You can't get 3 hours of sleep and be functional anymore, tiny bit of caffeine keeps you up all night, eating In-n-Out gives you heartburn, you now get excited about $30 underwear and how soft they are instead of playing FF7 remake, getting old sucks.

i've been old since i played a hardcore game of intramural kickball at 23 and ached the entire next day

it was then and there that i truly became aware of my mortality

lol none of these apply to me, especially 'you can afford anything you want' but i guess i wasn't the type of person to dissolve skittles in vodka so i was never really made for success

What a weird way to be condescending, you proud of that?

I don't think it helps when people seem to choose to age shame themselves or limit themselves, I know this mentality basically destroys me and my hope, and considering all the time I've lost to depression that's something I can't afford to do.

My life is truly starting now, I can't magically make myself a lower age, but I choose to be as young as I need/want to be.
