An intellectual sitting in a big wooden chair upolstered in green felt smoking a pipe, reading a dusty old tome and sipping 18 year-old scotch from a crystal glass.
Some day, I hope to be the sort of grandfather who rides a motorcycle and is a public embarrassment to his family. At the age of eighty, I want to be teaching my grandchildren how to fight, yelling at political figures during live broadcast public appearances, and have to be picked up from jail for pulling my teeth out and slamming them into thirty-something Hell's Angel's face in the middle of a drunken brawl. Yeah!Tylendal
I still see myself being very religious, always helping people and loving others. I guess 'cool' would come closest to that.
I'd be the kind that would say:
Me: "You know, back in my day we didn't have holographic video games. You didn't have virtual environments you could walk around in. No, we had to build our avatars using our own imagination. We were impressed with our high-def graphics and Playstation 3 engines."
Grandson: "High what and play what?"
Me: "......... kids these days. :roll: "
I'll be the wise old man, telling kids not to stuff up their lives.
Or... I could be like Walt from Gran Torino, sad and bitter but find redemption at death.
the one driving a 1967 mustang fastbackI plan on being the cranky old guy that trows things at kids that stumble on my lawn.

I'd like to think it's some mix of being cool, geeky, and rich. I want to be well off, I want to age with grace by being okay with the fact that I'm aging, and I want to keep up with current technology rather than being stuck in old ways and thinking old technology is best.
I'm sure I'll have some things I won't keep up to date on such as current pop culture and new sayings, but I would like to be able to do the things with computers that younger people currently do on an everyday basis.

you make Clint Eastwood proud.
i'm not gonna make it to my old years,but if i made it,i'd be the geeky type comibined with the sad type.
a combination of everything
geeky, because I will problably be playing LAN games of Halflife: Episode 28 with my retired buddies.
Cranky, because, well, I am already getting there...
Cool, because I will be approachable
The kind that craps my pants on purpose, to pounce on it and make someone else clean my ass. I'll also have one of those walking canes that has a squeeze horn on the top and mirror on the bottom. You know, so I can let the young sluts know if I like what I see while peeking up their skirts. I'll also stroll up to younger people to talk about stupid **** they don't care about. I'll wear pants that are too tight with legs that are too short. Maybe bend over so the ass rips. When I see kids standing next to a large puddle I'll floor the gas to splash them with funky road water. I'll use words that were 40 years out of style when I was 15. I'll wear one of those change dispensers. I'll go to the grocery store, stand in the deli line drop my pants and masturbate Maybe go for a walk with my pants and underwear around my ankles while I have an erection. Then tell the police my inferior garments could notholster my awesome penis I'll constantly tell people what I could buy for a dollar 40 years ago never mentioning what my hourly wage was 40 years ago. I'll argue with everyone emphasize the obviousand repeat everything about three times.
The Geeky old one sounds most like me now so...
But I'd rather be the old one who everyone thinks is bonkers but then eventually I do something really great for humanity and everyone discovers how much of a genius I am and that I have a secret underground lair full of advanced technology and then they'll all love me and become my friends and I'll die famous and peaceful in my sleep....yeah...
I've always wondered if generations of old people change, or do you suddenly start wearing brown cords with white tucked in shirts and have flowery curtains.
The old guy who sits in the mall, drinking coffee all day for the free refills complaining about the government.
