If you blink, your favorite musicians will have released several albums…whereas when you were younger your faves released material so slowly that they stopped being your faves.
Also…before I know it, baseball season will have started.
The downside of course is…what the hell happened to my toddlers and who are these grumpy teenagers in my house?
Okay, it isn’t all a bad thing.
The typical chest cold seems to be over and done with a lot quicker. They used to last forever, and now, a few coughs and they’re gone.
Sitting in a waiting room isn’t as bad as it used to be. A doctor, or a barber, used to take forever to get to you, and now, the wait is over much sooner.
But…goddamn it, where did November go? I don’t remember anything between Halloween and Thanksgiving! I’m too old to lose an entire month that way!
Its sunday, I have to go back to work soon.
(blink)
Yay, its friday again.
Of course it cuts both ways, the good times pass faster too.
What’s this crap about getting old? I just turned 18 yesterday.
After a while, you stop thinking in years, and start thinking in decades. You’ll wonder how you got so old, in so short a time. And after a while, everything either dries up or leaks.
I can’t believe I’m 40 . . . . . . . . . 50 . . . . . . 60 . . 70
It really does make things you’re waiting for happen, not exactly sooner, but it’s not so painful to wait for them. Have to wait for summer to do some things - no problem. I got stuff to do until then. It’ll be here before I know it.
[Daffy Duck voice] You’re dethpicable!
(But, man, have a great life! Make some huge mistakes along the way; you’ll look back on those with the most amazing fondness!)
“Ah, Young Grasshopper!”
“Get off my lawn!”
Hate to break it to you, but its pretty much all down hill from there.
Oh, heck no! Life gets better and better…up to about age 33.
Then it all starts to turn to shit.
I’m 22 - and have been for over 40 years.
