And then you wake up one day and realize you're old
« on: September 11, 2015, 06:29:12 AM »
They say you're supposed to get a bum knee or an achin' bacon or something.  Or women who meet you or see your picture will stop advertising their availability, either by themselves or through mutual friends.  Errors.  Untruths.


Me?  I caught myself thinking about all the shit I should have done and what an amazing guy I'd be by now instead of thinking about all the stuff I'm going to do and how great I'm gonna become.  And then I realized whoa --- that ain't a good sign!  Conclusion: I'm behind schedule.  By about 40 years.

Still looking forward, though. I view this as a good thing.

Aging is simply a case of the that "rough" looking reflection in the mirror first thing in the morning... taking longer and longer to clear... until it's permanent.

I'm proceeding on the assumption that my current self is the right one and sounding like a crazy person.  Damn the torpedoes.  Fortune fucks the cautious.

As I get older:
- I am a better father
- I am a better husband
- I am more patient with people (not Joon)
- I am better at my chosen profession
- I am smarter about nutrition
- I am getting leaner and more muscular (thank you TRT)

So far, getting old is pretty awesome.

Age is rot, along with the wisdom to comprehend your own mortality. Ironically, by the time you do attain a bit of wisdom, you're not able to use it, because you're at the end of your lifespan.

Age hits some harder than others.

Anyone catch the story about the late year old family man who took them all out?

Things could be worse..

LOL this is the most basic emo aging confession. Trust me, people like you exist by the hundreds of millions.

You want to know something that's true but won't help how you feel? The world you chase and value is built on fantasy, synthetic emotions in the form of pills, psychological warfare in the form of advertising, mind altering chemicals in the form of food, brainwashing seminars in the form of media, controlled isolated bubbles in the form of social media. You really want to be in the leading role of awesomeness in that world?

Trust me. What you think you lack in life, you really lack in spirit as cliche it sounds. But you have fallen in the same trap like everyone else that you have to fall in love with the world and bathe in it's illusionary pleasures or else you will be miserable. I've fallen into that trap as well but trying to find my way out. I know it's all very tempting but trust me, you don't really need fuck all of it.

And yes I used the quote from mr.robot's finale.

It's a matter of no longer taking what you want from life, but holding fast to what you realize you truly  need.  Family.  Friends.  Memories from the years gone by and the desire to make more before the spirit is no longer willing and able.

My  mother has always said that we should never make more out of something until it has proven worthy of doing so.  If you cannot make more of life then make the best of it.  Which by the way, beats the hell out of just making do. 

Too much?  Only if you are incapable of understanding what I am trying to tell you all.   But the truth is, we all, all of us, already know this.

I see friends "giving up" and stuff, talks like "Oh, I'm getting old", etc, when people are only 30 or similar age. I don't get it, it's complete alien state of mind for me, I'm 30 and only getting better in new ways that I have not imagined earlier, every day is a new opportunity. I look at age as an opportunity to improve and my goal is to get better, at everything I do. I will be R.Robinson one day, if we talk about a physical appearance (just white), I knew that from a very early age. That I won't go down without a fight, no way. And you lost it already with that kind of thought process, sorry.

Wisdom is not something one is born with, nor is the ability to discern it.

That explains even more, my young friend.   ;D

As your pal, I feel it necessary to inform you that your coddling and romantical musings to the infantile, wretched... and whore-like entity that is 'Booty'.... clearly demonstrates a profound lack of discernment/wisdom/common sense; that I would sooner expect from a woman – not a 'man', especially a 'man' of your advanced age.

Strange.

An overbearing mother impacting your psyche, thereby distorting your perception of reality.... would explain things, though.

When you drive past a high school cheerleading practice, slow the car down, act casual to hide your creepiness and your penis doesn't even move, you're officially old.
