1) I listen to softer music. Pantera and Slayer just don't have the draw that they once did.

2) I drive the speed limit, as opposed to the speedometer limit.

3) I curl up with a book instead of a beer on friday nights

4) I have these funky hairs growing out of my ears...WTF is up with that??? :eek: :Q :confused:

Awe crap! I just realized that I'm turing into my Dad.

I found my first three gray hairs this month. I needed Prozac to cope. And the fact that I'm posting here on a Friday night tells me I have a similar social life as you. :) Fortunately, no ear hair for me. :D

LMAO @ snow patrol - I had the same image.

While I miss some things of the benefits of being a teen, I feel more comfortable with myself now. This can only be achieved through experience. I guess that's what great about having kids at some point. You get to see it all again, but this time through different eyes. And grandparents get that chance again. Life is interesting, no?

22, and feeling old.

I'm twice as old, and feeling 13.

Life is good, for me.

You're on your own. ;)

The absolute worst thing for men when we get a bit older is the lack of the ability to, um, stop the flow so to speak during bathroom procedure #1. I recall once when I was twenty-something (not that long ago) seeing an older guy taking an inordinate amount of time draining at a public urinal. No trickling sound, just the guy standing there for a long time finishing up. I thought him dysfunctional at the time but the truth as I fully understand now is that he was just seeking closure of the deal! It sucks kids, trust me. ;)

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!! How can Mouth For War and War Ensemble not have that draw? You are DEFINITELY turning into your father. Next thing you know you'll be drinking diet soda and worrying about your golf game more than your processor speed :p

UG, In time. In time.

I have to get us(visgf and I) through another 4 years, until she gets out of pharmacy school.

By that time, bills will paid, degrees will be awarded, and things will be marry...and married ;)

4 more years...

Napalm, Pantera and Slayer just don't &quot;do it for me&quot; anymore, for lack of better words. Now Sepultura and Fear Factory...there are two bands that still know how to get my going.

All the above, PLUS nostril hair that tries to become a beard, memory fading or was that it?, and sex just isn't as important as it once was (should really be thankful there, as it's nature's balance for other factors). Certainly more aches and pains, food just doesn't taste as good as it once did but is way more fattening, and it takes longer and longer to do most anything.
The only good thing about aging is that it beats the alternative.

WHen you look at the music top 10 list and find out you don't know of any of the artists or any of the songs.

That is the stage I am at now.
