    When after the in-demand highly paid international assassin finally finds you after 15 years of hiding in Algeria after all the while assuming the life of a spice salesman in an alleyway of The Casbah, telling you to get down on your knees and you overjoyed of not having to stand up ever again to avoid the joint pain from doing so.

    Yeah, I think there are always exceptions, but I end up meeting many people randomly because I enjoy talking a lot (I’m a Gemini and a musician, so communicating is effortless for me, and young people usually open up to me... I was also a music educator and participated in social projects at NGOs involving music education and the production of shows with young people from underprivileged communities). In these conversations, what I notice is people already disenchanted, listening to songs about drug use, drinking and infidelity, which often lead to bad company and poor choices, along with a lack of inspiration and proper life planning. Pragmatically, you become what you feed yourself. This younger generation has more access to information, and, even so, that doesn't always make a difference. But in the end, we’re really talking about worldview, guidance, and education. Young people don’t always get that from their parents. That’s why I feel old when I talk to young minds who, many times, have everything to succeed (few responsibilities, lots of free time, and some support from their parents) yet still end up messing things up. In the end, maybe that's what makes us...

    Hell, my friend has been doing that for years, and once it's past the halfway mark, just leave it up for next Christmas (doesn't work as well on real trees but.....)

    But you can't get to sleep because you have to get up and pee (which is probably why you had to do the cat naps because you didn't sleep last night because you kept getting up to pee.)
    I'm actually not quite to that point yet.

    Where are my reading glasses? Where are my glasses for driving? Where are my glasses for the PC? My PC is getting bigger and bigger and everyone is sitting further away from it...! Ah, hearing, you hear a lot less but that's not so bad... is it?

    When I experienced that my colleagues could in theory be my children, it slowly began to dawn on me that I was gradually becoming an old fart. That´s life!!!

    when you've finished giving out trick or treat candy, and you sit down to a fresh apple pie with whip creme and a cup of apple cider and you're satisfied. Unlike spending the night tripping on god knows what in my mispent youth...
    its old, but its comfy...

    Absolutely 100% true, you know the joke about yelling at kids to get off your lawn? I do that now. I freaking hate kids on my lawn.
    And I hate lawns too, what a stinking bourgeois fascist crock of garbage. But I have to have one so you kids better stay off of it.

    You have to be really getting up there to use the term "pusher".

    He was up there and she was the pusher. They both don't look that kind of old (not then at least:no:). Colloquialisms strong points usually aren't very specific.

    Now get off my lawn.

    When you notice that almost everything on the radio nowadays is covers of shitty pop songs from the 90's and 00's that were annoying even in their original version.

    Now that so many artists sold their rights to record labels, of course they're going to milk the shit out of that old material.

    I think we're now at the 4th or 5th cover version of "Numa Numa".
