Feeling old yet?

[l0053g0053]

I used to laugh and cringe at photos like these. Now, I think to myself,

" Wow, they are so young "

Nice to have a family like that to celebrate a birthday for them as well.

It is really wild how the years sort of sneak up on you. Nothing anyone says can ever really prepare you for aging; Its just so damn fast. Everything feels like the blink of an eye now a days.

I remember summers lasting a lifetime. Now a year goes by without a snag. Even planning things out, its over immediately, and it feels like another winter is rolling around again.

Covid was here and gone in an instant. Hell, I remember 9/11 like it was yesterday, and the " Great " quake in CA that leveled the double stacked highway.

I like video games, because if I avoid any online interaction I can get a good thrill.

A wild thing is also. I talk about getting up there in years, and I realize that everyone 20 years older than me feels the same way I do about these kids in the photos.

Have several new coworkers, half my age, fresh outta college, who get none of my witty references and one loner jokes... Old af

That is really the worst. I still make references to a lot of stuff from my youth, you know, the good stuff.......Back in my day, we have Aeon flux, Kids in the hall, liquid television, THE MAXX, beavis and, what? What was I talking about again?

Isn't the cycle extreme? I will watch 1970s LIVE DISCO FOOTAGE sometimes and you think, holy shit, these people are now in their 70s-80s.

Our time " In the sun " is so short, it makes me want to be an elf IRL so I could just watch these cycles and I ponder and smoke some of my old toby.

What the hell are we even doing? When you finally even *Start* to have a grasp on what your life is, and what is important, its already " Over " The only thing I don't know, is ENOUGH!

Also, I love the hindsight, I always think of what a lucky idiot I was 10 year prior, like every 10 years.

I too use references and jokes relevant to my generation only and younger people don't get them. Too bad for them, the 80s and 90s were a great time to grow up.

No. I had to bodily lift my wife today, I did not realize I could do that

[Toxigen]

Nope ran 10 miles shirtless in 45 degree temps.

Feels good.

It sucks.. at least you where there and it wasn't some sketchy minimum wage worker in a hospice or shelter.

I still run daily and my lifts are higher than they have been my entire life. It seems like physicality is less of an issue if you take care of yourself. ( I always think of an old dude running down a hillside at 70 years old in an old HGH commercial)

I think the physical things really hit when you are compared to someone much younger. A few months ago I was helping dig a ditch for a friend and this 17 year old kid was going like a machine for hours upon hours. I am pretty good so I think he saw it as a challenge to outdo me, and throughout the day I was getting pretty tired while he continued on. (hopefully he torn a tendon or something, damn whippersnapper)

I am talking more about the mental aspect. I empathize a lot more with old people just standing there and staring as the memories wash in from that time 30 years ago when ect. ect.
