Anyhow, signs I'm getting older:
Those Time Life music collections late at night keep looking better and better. I'll even watch them sometimes and sing along with the little song snippets they have because they're songs I remember and like.
Some of the attractive people (women in my case) I find myself admiring and sighing over are in their late 20's at the youngest, and are typically in their mid-30's to mid-40's, and one or two might even be 50-ish.
I've come to realize that I, as a man, do indeed have a biological clock and while not on my forehead there is an expiration date on me. Somewhere.
I realize that Bruce Springsteen was a prophet: 57 channels and nothing on.
More and more of the shows I've grown up are on Nick at Night. Not only do I see Bill Cosby on the Cosby Show, but I recall him doing pudding pops commercials, and I remember eating those things!
More and more stuff I grew up with is being remade. Transformers, Batman, Superman, etc. Hell, they're doing a live action Dragonball movie, even @_@
I'm telling folks the TV is too loud.
I'd five times prefer to NPR than the "kids" music.
I'd ten times rather listen to talk an AM talk radio show than the "kids" music on most FM stations (even if it is just my friends' computer radio show on Saturdays).
I'd a hundred times listen to an oldies or ****c rock station than a "kids" station.
I am unwilling to part with $400 for a game system because I've got real bills and other things to spend them on. And even when I've got the money, I'm thinking I'd better hold on to it, just in case.
I've been introduced as "Uncle (insert my real name) at least once. And the kid would actually be young enough to be a nephew or neice.
I realize that, when all is said and done, I'm not even close to be old yet.
Anyhow - off to get showered and cleaned up; going to go see Lisa Loeb tonight!
