Incidentally, I’ve decided that age is relative to one’s individual lifespan. For example, if I get squished by a falling Russian space station next month, then right now I am a very old man. On the other hand, if I make it to see Dick Clark usher in the year 2100, then I’m still quite the youngster. This way, “old” and “young” have little or no meaning unless you have some special insight into the subject’s impending demise. Only problem is, how will I know when to have a mid-life crisis?
“An old man, broken with the storms of state,
Is come to lay his weary bones among ye;
Give him a little earth for charity!’”
–Henry VIII, Act 4, Scene ii
Well, despite what you may think from looking at my People Page pic (as I look quite a bit older than I am), I’m only 19. Which is good here, because it is the legal drinking age. Thing is, I don’t really drink much, but at least I don’t have to worry about going into bars and such.
older than god
younger than dirt
the alternative to passion
is to become inert
(if you really wanna know the score
my age rhymes with wordy bore)*
*disclaimer-- the above doggerl is excusable only by the fact that I am now so addicted to SDMB that I’m falling asleep at my keyboard. Good night.
Caesar we share a birthday, though I was born in 1958.
//hijack// And, I used to have a '71 Superbeetle. Worst car I ever owned. It made me resolve to never ever set foot in another VW as long as I live. But it was cheap maintenance. Enjoy!
lol! thanks for the advice. I wanted a microbus but my dad said that they have weak engines. heck if I had the money I’d somehow figure out how to jam a V8 engine in a bus. can you imagine that driving that down the road? I know I got off the OP, but ohwell! shoot me.
39, and I turn 40 in August. Yikes, I should have gone through Carousel on my 30th instead of dodging the Sandmen.
Now, I’m stuck in the dacaying ruins of Washington DC, and Peter Ustinov won’t shut up about his damned cats!
Many, many moons ago I had a roommate with a microbus that had a Porsche engine in it. That thing would really haul!
But it was pretty high maintenance.
