You know the US is going down the poop-chute when people who would have failed the 8th grade 15 years ago are getting into college.

Teenagers continue to make me feel old ALL THE TIME.

One of my friend's is in his early 20s and still lives with his parents (and is generally an unemployed slug), and for some reason his 14 year old sister often ends up tagging along with us (usually because his parents usually only agree to give him money if he takes Trish with us), and SHE really makes me feel old.

It is never the AGE of people that make me feel old, it is the YEAR they were born in. Now there are teenagers (like Trish) who were born in the 90s.

On an aside note, I show A LOT of signs of aging myself, even at 28.

I stopped listening to new music years ago.

Almost all my friends are married now.

I have begun to get gray hair.

All cars produced after I graduated high school (1995) still seem "NEW" to me, because I remember when they came out. Oddly enough I have been driving Pre-96 models my entire life, with only one 2 month exception. (In order I have owned vehicles from 1984, 1988, 1983, 1986, 1988, 1995, 1983, 1984, 1999, 1989, 1983, 1975, and 1991. I still own the last 4 on that list).

I haven't purchased a video game system since the Dreamcast, and that one I got after it was discontinued. I no longer own any consoles at all, other than a couple of the joystick ones (never used), and an Atari 800 (also never used).

I no longer rush out to the electronics store/auto parts store/rpg shop/etc every time I get paid. Heck, I haven't bought a single stupid automotive "upgrade" for about 5 years now (5 or six years ago I built a car MP3 player before they were common on the market).

I haven't missed work because I partied too much in at least 8 years. I haven't even called off in six or seven years.

Well I am 36 in a couple of months. I don't feel old in the head although sure, the body is starting to show signs with cracking knees and more hair starting to grow out of my ears than I feel comfortable with....

But who cares. You only grow old if you are lucky. As long as the old joystick continues to perform I personally don't care and know I have a crap load of living to do yet.

I also enjoy the company of young people, I still like most of the new music and I never get sick of perky boobies.

Oh, also I figured out that I don't like comic books anymore, and I don't enjoy playing Dungeons and Dragons nearly as much as I used to.

I enjoy hanging out with younger guys down to about 21 or 22, any younger and I can't relate to them. Girls, it doesn't really seem to matter how young they are.

"That's the great thing about high school girls, man.  I keep getting older, but they keep staying the saaame age!"

Today was the first day back to high school for all my students.  Today's high school freshman, who will graduate in 2009(!) was born in 1991.

This year's high school sophomores are the same age as the kindergarteners I had my first year of teaching in 95.

So old.

[Bones]

To stay young at heart all you need to do is never let go of the curiosity and fascination that a young child has.

Find whatever it is that makes you excited and then milk it senseless. Keep doing this until you die.

[ChadTower]

I just tend to adjust my habits to my age.  I got to my mid to late 20s, started playing semipro football and powerlifting.  Got to later 20s, arcade restoration.  Hit 30, pinball.

Doesn't matter WHAT you are doing, so long as you are doing it well.  Anything that isn't sitting around hammered or in front of your TV will keep you young enough.

Well, I REALLY like girls around 20, much younger and they seem too childlike to really interest me in that way.

[Bones]

I like getting hammered. Hammered is good. Sometimes the world makes more sense when you are hammered. I might get hammered tonight.

[fredster]

Young punks.  I'm 44.

I played Asteroids the day they uncrated it at the Pizza King.  And I was out of High School.

If you want to stay young (and I feel better now than I did then) then you just have to stay in shape and stay in touch.

I don't have gray hair.  I'm in pretty good shape. I am actually in the government's BMI weight standards now. I play basketball (although I am slower and I can't do full court as well as I used to) I make it a point to see what's new and what's up. 

I have my son and his boys come around.   My nieces and nephews come through. I like kids. It gives me a whole new generation to corrupt.

You are only as old as you feel.

I like women in their 30's now. That's different than before.

[Bones]

Obviously fredster the old fart is rambling. Back away people, avoid eye contact.

[fredster]

Don't worry Bones, it's happening to you right now....

[Bones]

Don't worry Bones, it's happening to you right now....

Yes it is and I wish science would hurry up and work out exactly what "it" is.....

[rohan]

It may seem cliche, but age really seems to be a state of mind.
At 24, I feel old...What I mean is, I seem to have more in common with folks much older than myself.  I listen to the same music that most of your age group listens to and am interested in the same things.  I talk to people that are 21 and feel that whole "generation gap" that people are always talking about.  Whether it's politics or pop-culture, it's like talking to a wall.  There really is something inherently different with my age demographic, and it is kind of sad.  I really was born too late.   Granted, I was much younger but I did experience(and remember quite vividly) the eighties and wish they were still with us.

[paigeoliver]

One problem I do encounter with my 21ish friends is they can't understand my horrid aversion to hanging out at THEIR PARENT'S house.

I agree 100%, but my wife's not onboard.... Hell, she's not even lactating yet.

Few things on Earth are cooler than a lactating woman....
