You people ain't shit. I might only be fifty but I lived three times as fast and I have the record to prove it. (and that's only the shit that went bad)

Let's take half of that fifty years. The part of me that is twentyfive, you know the half that is afterwards ? All the things I haven't done since :

Beat the living shit out of some punk who thought he was bad.

Thrown a refrigerator at my Dad.

Reported a car stolen when it really wasn't.

Broke a nice guitar in half (I said a nice guitar)

Burned something to the ground.

Fuck, and not only not remember her name, not even remember what she looked like.

Spent an entire month high on drugs.

Laughed about wrecking a car.

Laughed about death, a real one, at the funeral.

Thrown money on the floor to watch people scramble for it like dogs.

Told anyone that I love them.

Chosen to die for pride. (I know why it is considered a "deadly" sin, didn't actually die though. Sorry)

Shot a television with a machine gun.

Really I am old. But right now I am not getting older, I am getting younger. My health is coming back and I can see. I know now what I didn't know then. If the indications are right I got a good crack at another twenty good years. Remember retirement doesn't mean shit to me. I'll do something.

Right now I am involved in two new ventures, hey one is even pefectly legal ! I'm getting back into the game, older and wiser. My retirement should be secure. If this doesn't work that might, and if not something else will eventually. I am not fistfucking around here. Actually, though I tell the gov to fuck off I do respect real Law, and in each case I am bound by a non-disclosure agreement. We are talking patents baby, and if I get a dime each out of twenty million people.......... With any luck at all I can quit my day job next year. Literally.

I am not what I was 25 years ago, but I was pretty much made out of granite. (maybe I'm cracked) I am coming back. I've already had two childhoods. Even my bedroom games were extremely damgerous. Everything about my life was danger, I craved it. I almost wanted something to happen. I could've been a drama King !

But now if I can restore my former abilities best I can, and now walk avoiding the pitfalls of youth, what do you think could happen ? And understand this, as much as I feel good and optimisic about the future right now, I would still risk my life on principle or, perhaps a silly notion. That is part of my being.

I haven't really wanted to be alive for fifty fucking years, it's not going to stop me now lol. Fuck I don't care. And not caring makes me able to care. Who says you only go round once ? Show me that person.

T^T

Status: offline 		Am I old?  That is relative so I didn't vote with literal numbers in mind.  I went with the "You're only as old as you feel" concept and said yes.  I feel very darned old.  Older than my mother who is in her seventies.

47 going on a hundred.

Status: offline 		I'm 48 but I'm not old I'm just grown up, sorta.  Ask my dad, he'll tell you I still act like I'm a 16 yr old at times.  Sometimes like a 12 yr old when I bring out the bubbles and the cool blower thingies I have.  I left getting old to my sister and she's 2 1/2 yrs younger than I am.  Go figure.  Age is just a number and I'm lucky that I don't look my age, feel it or act like it.  What fun would that be?

Status: offline 		I'm 50 going on 25.....some days it's 18....then again, there are a few days that it's been closer to 60!  But I have to agree with Sandra...sometimes, I'm just sooooo tired!
 
It's just a number to me....I have a hard time realizing that even my parents are 75 and 69.  They just recently retired from trucking.  And tehy are still going to work, just at home.  My one aunt turned 92 this year.   I've known people in the 30's that are old, and folks in ther 70's that are still kids.  A lot of it is all in the outlook on life in general you have.
 
The warranty may have expired, but the car is still going, and going, and going........the undercarriage may squeak a bit, but hey.....a little lube job and it's juuuuuust fine!

Status: offline 		I think that I have celebrated the most birthdays of all the people who have responded to this thread. I turned 65 in March. I don't really quite believe it. I didn't think I'd every live this long. I've had one helluva ride, lemme tell ya!! So the parts are starting to bother me, but I think that I can get through that too. I feel so young, I want to start dancing again. I think that my body would love me for it!

I think that attitude has a whole lot to do with not aging. I look in the mirror & I see a wrinkled old lady, but people always seem surprised when I tell them how old I really am. So the only thing I can attribute that to is my attitude is that of a much younger person. I'm vibrant & alive & I still want to have adventures. There's still so much that I haven't done. When I was a kid, I was pondering what I was supposed to do with this life & what I came up with then has been the way that I've tried to live my life: I'm supposed to learn & experience as much as I possibly can. What that has meant is that I've put myself in danger sometimes, because life can be dangerous. It also means that I don't do anything for too long before I'm onto the next thing.

So my goal now is to get this old body back into decent shape so that I can go learn & experience some more in the next few decades.
