That is because you have more experience and have seen the good with the bad which gives you better perspective.

It is about A Painter/Sculptor (Lynch) examining the dark underbelly of American Culture whilst simultaneously dismantling the very apparatus of Televison and the fictionalized form of episodic crime dramas (comics/penny dreadfuls etc) that preceded it. It's a bit like Bergerac but with Ross's mum carrying a log and Brockton dancing to Jazz whilst speaking backwards in a red room. It is both brilliant and incredibly shite at the same time. Umissable. It's like hallucinogenics for straight people

I was touring with an anarchist collective, making short films and recording bands so didn't watch much myself but caught Twin Peaks when I could for more than one reason

Mornings. Always been more of a night owl but almost dread them now. With arthritis not moving all night makes them painful until your up and moving again.

Winters. Always been more of a summer person but dread the early darkness now. With arthritis the cold weather makes them painful until your up and moving again. :)

Snap? :-X ;D My brother is much worse than me in his mid twenties and is already a hunchback, looks like a question mark used to play rugby, ride his bike everywhere trying to do as much as he can before he seizes up and is an anthropologist studying hunting etc at the moment. Was a brilliant painter but his hands no good for it anymore. I used to so worry about his back/neck snapping when he played contact sports.
I was on Meloxicam ,Propranolol and a slow release morphine patch but now I have gone cold turkey. I started working out again with free weights and a chin/pull up bar after getting very ill with AS and a number of other things and although it still hurts the more I move the better it is. I spend long hours now crouched down ringside with a heavy camera in each hand, and I feel it for a few days after that, but I could not handle being so monged on Morphine etc.
My Bro is much worse and has to apply for permission to have his medication in the cabin in a freezebag on flights. I will ask him what it is but he basically injects a couple times a month and it relives him of much of the pain. Changed his life massively.

Stay as active as possible and use natural sustenance as you can. Positive mental attitude helps as well.
If you have 1 bad day in 6 weeks then that is good. :)

Re: Signs that you are getting older
When they first gave me the morphine patches I burst out laughing because they told me not to ingest them. When I ran out I realised what a big difference they make. I daily/nightly have anti-inflammatories plus codeine with paracetamol too.
@Master, what do you take daily for dodgy knees?

Fuck this is like a doctor's waiting room SHIT WE ARE OLD.

@
Master, what do you take daily for dodgy knees?
I take supplements such as cod liver oil, vitamin D and B12. Exercise regularly (non-impact on the knees) and eat healthy.
So far knees have been fine since I quit football, so should get knees replaced when I a 65. Which is 20 years time. :)

Re: Signs that you are getting older
When you decide that it is for the best that you fall asleep in bed listening to a documentary rather than fall asleep on the settee listening to led zeppelin.

Re: Signs that you are getting older
following on from my last post I suppose, when you have got a week off from work and you decide to have a mini one man party, get 8 cans deep and then decide that rather than hit up your other 4 cans of stella that you bought specifically for this night you decide to watch a documentary on scientists attempting to find dark matter and dark energy that you recorded on BBC4 the other week.
I mean for fucks sake purposely recording shit off BBC4 is old man enough, but these days I do it regularly, the younger version of me hates myself.

Re: Signs that you are getting older
My friend has the same back problem you guys have. A very health conscious person, but now on a regimen of daily medication. It's a sign of getting older that you and everyone around you seems to be having problems with their health. It didn't use to be like this.

Re: Signs that you are getting older
when that guy you saw on the corner when you were 25 looked like a big bellied/curve-spined/fat-assed ***OLD MAN***, and then you get out of the shower one morning and look in the full length mirror and say:
I HAVE SEEN THE ENEMY, AND IT IS ME!

I could do it easily and still have enough energy to play football and exercise but now it is just hard work and tiring. I am shattered for the day :(
