sign of getting older,..... you enjoy watching 1950s and 1960s interviews in black and white with the people of the day, to hear how they saw the world.

@Master amazing stuff
Well in my younger days everyday on my motorcycle I would knock about at 100mph now 50 or 60 mph .π
Buying hallmark cards for special occasion birthday etc.
In my youth, I'd look at the back of the card I was buying for someone. if it was expensive, I figured they'd appreciate it all the more.
I know I'm getting old when I look at the back of a hallmark card and ponder WTF? This much for a card?
In my youth I could pick one out in under 2 minutes.
Last time I was there, I spent about 10 minutes, trying to compromise between what was written on the front, inside & if it equated to $4.75
All's lost! Everything's going to shit!
Yeah literally or metaphorically speaking.
Last time I went back home, sat around with a few old friends since teenaged years and noticed they were having the same conversation last time I was there.
"hey..remember that time Trae boned that girl on the porch upstairs? Yeah remember that time him and Ty got so drunk they were on the bathroom floor upchucking while still challenging each other on who could outlast?
I had a epiphony..is it? Where I remembered as a kid walking by, Id hear my uncles or whoever talking about the past, the past.
Now my boys, receded hair lines, grey, gut, talkin about the past.
Almost as if to say: once you hit 50, why look forward? To what?'
I just wish I wasn't so high that I don't remember this chick they said I was rockin on the top porch of a duplex, belonged to whom? All I could ask was: Was she fine? & Did I handle my business!!??
Shoot man, I've written a few books, got a personal recording studio now for local authors wanting audiobook and off that it has given me some reason to look ahead to the future instead of behind me (the past)
For a few months I did the Lyft thing here (do they have Uber & lyft where you're at?) I was professional with it. I'd ask how they want heat/air conditioner music, talk radio or silence? There was a young white guy early 20s he was like, man whatever you want. Long story short, told him i was new to Akron Ohio, so any station he knew I would play, hiphop, rock don't matter.
Oh, you're cool with rock? I was like yeah man, Van Halen, all the way up to 3 Doors Down.
and he goes, yeah man....I loved the classic rock too.
Classic Rock? WTF is he on?
Classic rock is the Beatles, Jim Morrison & the Doors, twenty years from youth, uh-oh...then it dawned on me. Van Halen was indeed 3 generations from him.
All I can say to that is:

I drive home my CD this week classic rock alright now π sweet home Alabama π whiskey in a jar o π they still sound as good as when I was 18 π.
But today I had Status Quos greatest hits rocking and a bopping seen Quo I think about 6 or 7 times great party band O yes long hair head banging π€.
Same . I became the guy who couldn't just write 'happy birthday' in a card and leave it at that. Now I have to come with some whimsical personalized crapolla as proof that I'm not just the grey hair shooing loud kids off the lawn now but can also be some soppy ol geezer too .
You know you're old when you refuse to take a shower and get dressed and go outside to start the day unless you completely evacuate your bowels. you will even start to take a few shots of prune juice at night to make sure that it happens. Or obsessively make sure you eat a few pieces of fruit before you go to bed to aid in the digestion.
As a kid I can remember a few times getting pissed when my moms caught me about to do something wrong or told me in advance...Like damn! Who the hell is she? A friggin psychic?
You know your age has reaped the benefits when you can see anyone under - oh maybe age 30 & tell them how they are going to fuck something up...& they do it anyways!
Short one-a few years back one of my sisters - just moved her daughter/ my niece in with me.
I remember one night she was in the kitchen on the phone- washing the same couple of spoons & forks for a 1/2 hour. As I got ready for bed, I hollered out: Alright I'm heading to bed so U can stop pretending U doing dishes...You aint even fucked with the skillet... if I didn't know any better I would say you waitin' for me to go upstairs, then sneak out the house.
She just looked ticked off, but couldn't respond. I busted her about 4x in 2 weeks on how she was going to fuck up, leading me to send her back.
She didn't make pass 4 - so she left on her own.
Baby girl....contrary to my age---I was once 17, 18 years age...believe it or not!

When you fall and no one laughs
The prospect of a nap excites you.
