I feel old.

[Dwarfman]

The other day I realized that I feel old.

Why, you ask?

Well, it turns that a fantastic album made by a fantastic band was made 9 years ago.

System of a Down - Toxicity - 2001.

What makes you feel old today?

SOooooooooo...you feel old because your favourite album is 9 years old eh?

-Last Monday I turned 30

-The other day I ran into an old collegue of mine from TAFE. She was a teenager and two years younger than me, now she is happily married with kids. The same can be said for another friend of mine I've known since we were babies.

-Yesterday when I was justifying why we shouldn't kill the apprentice I caught myself saying "He's only 15 he's still a kid"

-I still own a Nokia 1100

-When I was drinking with a mate a while back, he was asking me if it was wrong for someone our age to be dating someone who's 18. To quote the man "I dunno man. I really like her but for some reason it feels wrong to date her she was like 7 when I was 18!!."

-I have bone spurs on both my heels and I think I'm developing arthritus in my knees

-And last but certainly not least my favourite album - Pink FLoyd's The Wall;Live- is the same age as I am!!!!!

DO I feel old you ask?!?!?!?!?!?!?! ;-)>

18 years old and how I miss my childhood. Afternoons playing Street Fighter and Sonic the Hedgehog on my Sega Megadrive. Watching Batman the Animated Series, Power Rangers, Spiderman and all the other great 90s tv shows. I remember when the Gameboy Colour, Nintendo 64, Dreamcast and original Playstation were released. I remember playing with Action Man and being so excited one Christmas when I received a Gameboy Colour and Pokemon Blue. Seems like nothing to most of you probably but sometimes I feel so old. Then again this didn't help:

Spoiler: Scary eh?

Im only 19 but feel like I've lived 10 lifetimes

Ah! But have you? That is the question.

OT: I think remembering kinds of sweets that they used to make.. That I liked but others didn't... And are now gone :'(

 

[Jharry5]

I can know what a Sega Megadrive is - I had to describe it to my younger brother. He didn't seem to understand how good it was, cos he just shrugged and went back to Call of Duty.
Speaking of which, I remember when the first CoD came out, which was seven years ago.
I can remember when a Gameboy Colour was considered cutting edge technology.

My joints ache and click when I move.
I mean, I'm only 19! This shouldn't be happening...

I watched some old movie last week, and before it it showed all these adverts for movies that were coming out back then. The style in which they were done was just so different to modern day adverts, and I still remember seeing adverts in that same style. That made me feel really old.

 

[Red Right Hand]

When the fucking kids at school didn't know what a nintendo 64 was. Needless to say I killed them showed them the awesomeness of it.

The fact that all my favourite bands are either dead or split up.

 

[Azure-Supernova]

Im only 19 but feel like I've lived 10 lifetimes

Are you by any chance a Time Lord with you memories stored in a FOB Watch? Cause that would be cool and explanatory.

OT: I remember having to rewind everything before taking it back to Blockbuster. True I'm only 17, but it made me feel pretty weird.

Welllllll, I do have this:

Dear Lord it's happened...

 

[Robert632]

When i wake up, all my whole body feels stiff, and this last for about half the day.

 

[DND Judgement]

i have to go to work in like 20 mins so that i can pay for things like rent, electricity and food... nothing like a little responsibility to make you feel old...

 

[Xaryn Mar]

Star Wars is a little more than 2 months older than me.

What makes me feel old is that I am around 1/3 through my estimated lifetime (which is for men somewhere between 75 and 90)

 

[purplepixie]

I felt old when I realised I'm onto my 4th decade....(80/90/00/10).

Also I was watching Buffy season 1 the other day on dvd and realised it came out like 13 years ago...I remember watching it on tv first time when I was in secondary school *sob*.

 

[purplepixie]

My Dad is 61 whereas most people my age have parents in their forties.

My boyfriend's dad is 80.....

 

[Summerstorm]

In a few days i will be 28... and yeah, i am old. So many awesome things i remember... and so much modern crap which annoys me. I even think i already had a "mid-life crisis" (not really mid-life though, since i plan on living at least 500 years, maybe more)

 

[Gaderael]

[JaiDin]

I am so old I remember saving up my money to by the Commodore 128. "128K of memory", I said walking out of the store. "How will anybody ever use that much memory!!!"
Right after the meteor that killed the dinosaurs hit the Earth.

When Kennedy was shot I was in my pram.

I remember seeing the Apollo 11 moon landing on a black and white TV at school. I remember when (British) TV only had three channels and stopped broadcasting during the afternoons (test card anyone?). I remember getting a cassette recorder for my 9th birthday and taping films off the TV (audio only). I remember playing D&D in the late Seventies and Atic Atac on my friend's Spectrum computer (oddly enough I've never owned a console and only bought my first PC about ten years ago).

Looking back there's a few things I miss but generally being 46 is great.

 

[Summerstorm]

Do you want the list?
- Smells Like Teen Spirit is 19 years old.

Bullshit... that can't be........ HOLY SHIT.

Oh man i remember being a boy with glasses and full of life and hope just a while ago. Having friends and dreams and FUN. Now all the days blend together and get faster and faster...

I remember getting a gameboy (not color or advanced or something) for christmas. It was packaged awesome. And then this switch to CD's. And people getting these pager-thingies which could sent texts. And i remember learning to code Basic... to cheat in/alter games. Windows, graphics... INTERNET. Then people got cell-phones and other strange stuff.

And then BANG: 2000-2010... was a flash.

I read because of the memory-forming and new experiences your life seems faster after a while (when your life got boring) For most people this happens around their 18-20 year... i can just say: IT IS TRUE. Don't ever stop doing new things or the time becomes faster and you feel like standing still, watching it run away from you.

I'm still a gentleman towards ladys, it makes me feel old. The youth of today don't seem to care for the dying art of chivalry anymore..saddening
