Plays Well With Others

The science behind getting old..

Okay, to be honest, I really dont know what the science behind getting old is. What I do know is that it sucks. I have a feeling that somewhere in your early thirties, it gets a little bit better, but then begins to suck again in your forties, and might rebound a little in your fifties, and of course, by your sixties you couldnt give a shit anymore. But that’s life.

My realization right now is that I’m ten years older than the kids that are graduating high school. Ten years! Where the hell did THAT time go?!? I’ve come to the conclusion that school keeps you feeling young. Erm, let me rephrase that. When you are eighteen, school keeps you feeling young. Walking my fat ass into a high school right now, sure as hell wouldn’t make me feel very young. In fact, right now, it’d make me feel like a dinosaur. Ugh.

The problem really begins to start once your school career is over – whether its high school or college. Inside of those well protected capsules, you dont really get to experience real life. Sure, you THINK you are experiencing real life, but it’s really just melodrama. REAL life begins once your school careers end, and you have to go out and get a real job. The kind of real job where you are surrounded by REALLY old people. Old, crabby people who hate their jobs and their lives. That will age you if nothing else does.

Another thing that will age you, is when your metabolism decides to take a life long vacation and suddenly you realize that you are packing on an extra 50 lbs. As a younger person, I could sit down and eat an entire large pizza by myself and not gain a pound. No kidding. Now all I have to do is smell a slice of pizza and I gain ten pounds. It’s really ridiculous.

My final realization that I’m getting old, is that the talk of medical conditions has already started up. I used to make fun of my relatives for talking about their ailments all the time and now I find myself talking about “the illness that put me in the hospital”. Ugh.

Finally, I’ve been pretty busy designing an ecommerce site for my mother in law.
