holy snap, renegadegirl! i haven't seen that screen name in a while.

9/11/2009 10:02:58 PM

...considering 24 still young.

9/11/2009 10:03:08 PM

You know what I hate about getting older? Being reminded about being older.

9/11/2009 10:05:00 PM

the thing i hate about getting older is the routine...go to work, get paid, pay bills (repeat cycle until you retire 30 years from now).

9/11/2009 10:21:55 PM

OMG, NutGrass siting!!

9/11/2009 10:24:30 PM

people asking you when you are going to get married

9/11/2009 10:48:09 PM

Having to explain to younger people why they're wrong.

9/11/2009 10:49:55 PM

work out recovery time

9/11/2009 10:53:27 PM

... moving away from your friends.

I hate seeing my friends "grow up"....I'm not ready to get married, but its depressing/sad when your friends get married or have kids...moreso b/c you'll naturally lose them as a "good" friend, and its depressing you haven't met someone to marry, but at the same time I'm not ready to get married. In your late 20s things don't make sense anymore. I always have a tough time letting go of the "past" and as much as I'd love to have a family, I still enjoy going out and dating....its also tougher to make friends, people are so couped up in work/family that all the old social circles deteriorate. Meetup.com has been helpful, but none of my "best" friends live within 3 hours of here.... /rant

9/11/2009 10:56:06 PM

Think about what 38 feels like...and I'm divorced and have had 2 major career changes in the last 5 years. No kids yet, don't really know if there are gonna be any this late in the game. Hope so, but not betting the farm on it.

9/11/2009 11:16:07 PM

pretty much everything

God damn right

While I've gotten older, I've also gotten in better and better shape, gotten stronger, alleviated aches/pains/back/joint issues, mental health/mood drastically improved, clarity in goals/where or who I want to be....

While I don't go out and get shit faced for fun anymore, I don't care. It's not fun to me any more and detrimental to other goals and how I feel. I'd much rather go kayaking or sailing w/ a girl than get shitfaced w/ her.

9/12/2009 12:04:53 AM

Nothing really... I wish my elbow didn't hurt as much after playing baseball/softball but this has been going on since I was 17.

I feel just about the same mentally and physically now as I did ten years ago...

9/12/2009 12:13:30 AM

completely losing your friends to their kids. one of my best friends can't NOT talk about her kids for one second. makes it painful to talk to her at all. not that i mind her kids, they are fine in reasonable doses. but she is my friend and sometimes i'd like to talk about more than "OH little bobby picked his own nose today!!!!"

9/12/2009 12:17:51 AM

yeah, your social life deteriorating because you're still single kinda sucks


and I'm not really a fan of how much easier it is to hurt yourself, and then how much longer it takes to heal/recover.

9/12/2009 12:28:45 AM

yeah i know what you mean on the hurt thing. i used to bounce back from everything so fast. now i have serious joint issues. i spent the last three months of 2008 almost completely unable to walk.

9/12/2009 12:30:16 AM

Realizing how immature my perspective used to be.

And still is.

9/12/2009 12:31:15 AM

yeah, i think i still have the hormone levels and stuff to stay supremely jacked from working out, but i can't work out hard enough to stay in the kind of shape I once was, because my joints will hurt like a bitch and a half if I try to.



and God forbid that I get a faceful of mountain while skiing...and I'm pretty sure that it's a really good thing that I haven't wrecked a motorcycle in over 5 years, now.

Man, you guys are making me really glad I got engaged

It's really weird where I live now because it's this vacuum that exists outside of reality in a lot of ways. By the very nature of the program, it seems most people stay single for much longer than they would had they stayed in their home country. So I hear about people I went to high school and college with getting married and having kids but it doesn't feel real since it only comes in the form of Facebook updates

It also helps that of my close friends back home, only one has gotten married. I think that's highly unusual for someone my age. Or maybe most of my friends fail at romance lol.

9/12/2009 2:54:27 AM

i get hangovers

like way more than i used to

9/12/2009 2:36:36 PM

I've noticed that even when I go out for like just 3 or 4 beers I wake up with a headache in the morning... I could have 12-15 in my prime and feel like a champion @ 8am

No excuse for this - while my daughter is the biggest thing in my life, she is not the only thing. Hate parents who can only talk about children.

9/12/2009 2:52:56 PM

Realizing that most of my teachers in high school were about my age and thinking at the time how old they were.... crap

9/12/2009 3:23:03 PM

LOL it has been a while chocolatervh.... at least 2 years since I've logged on!

Nothing has changed!

9/12/2009 3:28:28 PM

fucking crows feet

and definitely hangovers

9/12/2009 4:45:02 PM

haha, i've definitely woke up thinking "man, i shouldn't have had that 3rd beer".

9/12/2009 6:43:09 PM

everyone dying. that kinda sucks

9/12/2009 6:46:32 PM

...and the hangovers hurt more than they used to

and cornbread and ice tea's took the place of pills and 90-proof

and it seems like none of us do things quite like we used to do


and nobody wants to get high on the town

and all my rowdy friends have settled down

9/13/2009 12:11:08 AM

my back hurts

9/13/2009 12:11:53 AM

ah def the hangovers... after my little drinking mistake last week, i was hung over the entire next day, felt like absolute garbage

Fast forward about 6 years. Much has changed. I could turn it up all the way until I hit 41, then shit started to fall apart.

I throw my back out a lot, and it's a lot harder to lose weight. Still have all my hair but it's getting grayer and my beard is now damn near white.

And every joint in my body lights up every chance they get.

But it could be worse.

9/27/2015 1:40:43 PM

I don't like repetition

And I don't like knowing things.

9/27/2015 2:14:33 PM

I currently have to run at least 3 miles a day to maintain my current weight, and I haven't seen my abs in 10 years.

9/27/2015 2:17:50 PM

YOU'RE 41? JESUS CHRIST YOU OLD PEOPLE

9/27/2015 3:22:37 PM

^^

No you don't. That's like someone else saying they have to run 20 miles to maintain their weight. (Because they eat 4 full cheesecakes every day)

Whatever calories you are burning from the running, just cut them out of your diet and don't run. And you will maintain your weight.

But running is good, so do it. However, running so much as you get older also has its negatives. Lifting weights mostly, some flexibility training, and a little cardio is way better preparation for old age.

9/27/2015 5:40:47 PM

More frequent toof problems.

9/27/2015 6:13:21 PM

^^*sigh*

I guess I need to spell it out. I have to run at least 3 miles/day, with the same diet that I had when I was 25, just to maintain my weight. Yes, I could diet and take in less calories, and I probably will at some point, but I'm talking about getting older, and that's what happens. If you maintain the same calorie intake you did 10 years ago, you just don't burn them like you used to.

9/27/2015 7:56:34 PM

I can't trust farts anymore

9/27/2015 8:12:56 PM

People at work assume I know what's going on.

9/27/2015 9:20:52 PM

My vision. I had some vision problem when I was younger, so it was never perfect, but it was still pretty good. Now I can tell it isn't quite as good anymore.
