At 33, am I getting old?
 

So my girlfriend, who is a freshman in college, comes home during a break between classes today. At school, this guy was whistling a song and a girl asked him what it was. "Soundgarten. It's classic rock".

Goddamn, does this year's college freshman class really think of Soundgarden as classic rock? What ever happened to "Pink Floyd" and "The Who" being classic rock? Are they Golden Oldies now?

I think of Soundgarden as being NEW music. Sure, some of ya are shaking your heads saying "Damn, I still think of Pink Floyd as new music."

And round and round she spins.

Aging happens fast. It's starting to scare the hell out of me. Hell, if I know what's going on but Pearl Jam's "Jeremy" is 11 years old now. Fuck, that seems new to me too. Pearl Jam's Jeremy is as old as my father's "Abbey Road" was when I was listening to the Ozzy Osbourne in 1980. And "Abbey Road"? That seemed ancient to me at the time.

It gets worse. Last night, I saw two television commercials that I thought were tasteless. Am I changing or is the world getting sicker? Whatever happened to that ten year old that thought loogies were cool? I hope it's the world changing and not me. At least I like techno. Or is that getting old now too?

Whoa dude, you are old. Those bands suck. :1orglaugh

you become old at 30

but then again im 26

Sly_RJ probably considers *me* old.... so in essence, old is in the eye of the beholder =)

70 is old. Anything under that not. And I'm 20 :)

Fuck Me ... I got old at 30 ?

Damn what to do now ?

I saw something posted before that I got a kick out of. Something to do with kids entering college and a little about them.

Things like...

They have probably never listened to a record player before, don't even know what an 8 track is.

"Where's the beef", they don't understand

and so on

I found one

hmm i had something like that come up the other day, i said 'wheres the beef' and the 2 19yos that were around me looked at me waiting for the punchline ... fuckers... i guess i too, am old =-/

Dude you got a college freshman girlfriend. Who gives a flying fuck if your old :1orglaugh

GOOD CALL!!!

old as balls!!!!!:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Where's the Beef? 1984. Today's college freshmen were born that year.

The lady in the commercials made half a million dollars from them.

I DJ at a drunk asylum on the weekends in Detroit, and here is some examles of shit I have to listen to every week...

"Can you play that song "How Soon is Now from the Wedding Singer Soundtrack?" I tell him, "The Smiths? Sure!" and he says, "Who!?!"

"Can you play some McBreed?" Pronounced like McDonalds...I told him "Its' M-C-Breed!" and said, "Huh!?"

I was playing Pschadelic Furs, "Love My Way" and some kid literally asked me who it was and if it was new...I told him, "Yea, in '83!"

I feel old...and I'm only 29!!!

Shiiiiit, This is from 2002

They are too young to remember the Space Shuttle Challenger blowing up

Bottle caps have not always been screw off, but have always been plastic. They have no idea what a pull top can looks like

They have likely never played Pac Man, and have never heard of "Pong."

The compact disc was introduced when they were one year old

Most have never seen a TV set with only 13 channels, nor have they seen a black & white TV.

They cannot fathom what it was like not having a remote control.

"The Tonight Show" has always been with Jay Leno.

When I was a kid, I had a little black and white TV for my room. The 13-channel-plus-UHF selector broke one day. Forever after, I had to change the channels with a pair of pliers.

That was a sad time

I lived in Cocoa Beach when the Challenger disaster struck.

I went to Cocoa Beach High School. They used to let the entire school go outside to watch the launches when I was in 9th and 10th grade.

I remember walking in between classes in 10th grade and someone saying look over there.....You could see this huge cloud of smoke over the ocean. Then as we got into our next class it was all over the news.

P.S. Went to Seabreeze High School in Daytona Beach.

I was living in Palm Bay ... worked for Glenns tire on US 1 in melbourne


That day sucked ... :(

33? shit you are old ;)
oh fuck, just rememebred...I turn 33 in November :(

I think person should retired at age of 30 and start enjoying life, because that's like being half way through with your life. Work hard the first half, and than start enjoying the other half. That's my strive... just my :2 cents:

30 is halfway ????

that means I will only live to see 60 ???

fuck me ... I'm learning lots today

Yep, had one of those and thought it was great. Also changed channels with pliers.

I remember when we got the newest latest tv, it had push buttons to change channels, no remote but it didn't have knobs.

Never mind, it had a remote. ME



The challenger was a major trajedy. I remember it well also.
I remember the day Elvis died also.

You are only as old as the person lying in bed next to you feels...

My dad had a remote control back in '77, it was called his 4 year old kid (me).

When I think of BBS's, I think of using my comodore 64 connected at 300 baud (that was fast for the time). You had to be fully versed in Star Trek episodes or they wouldn't let you download shit.

Old is a state of mind. I'm still 18.

"Old is a state of mind. I'm still 18."

Easy for you to say!

Sykk,

I can tell you're the same age as me. You have just the right amount of social disorders.

RockDaddy, looks like we had the same technology...

Let's not get started on the Challenger subject, I still remember all the morbid jokes from 7th grade Art class.

I remember when my VCR had a cord connected to a 4-button remote control.

I remember ONTv!

I remember when I had to get up to push the buttons on my cable box.

I remember my Dad yelling at me that Rap was a fad.

I remember going to my first BBS (Yogi's Cave).

I remember playing games on a Colecovision, Odyssey, Intellivision, TurboGraphix 16, and regular Nintendo!

indeed

How much did those old vcrs weigh?? 100 lbs, 200??
Had to get help to lift it and move it around lol

Colin, being 33 and trying to keep up with some freshman college girl will only make you older quicker. Your ticker only has so many predetermined beats in it and you're gonna use them all up wayyyy before your time.

That's why god turns our sex drives down a little the older we get. It's meant to be that way on purpose so we can live old, have someone wipe the drool from our chins and the shit from our ass while we complain about our aching bones and bitch about the neighbors.

Damn, thinking about it that way, GO FOR IT !!!

Here's one for webmaster newbies

Add to the list if you want to.

I remember...

When you got listed in all the search engines for free

I remember the Sex Museum and Ass Awards

I remember when the only nude pics you could find were on banners

I remember banner farms


Gotta get to work now, I've screwed off too much today

thanks for posting that now i know i'm fucking old:ak47:

Definition of being old--remembering hiding pot in my 8 track tape deck.

I feel ya Colin. I turned 31 just a couple days ago. If I had a tight little college babe to keep me company, I might not feel so bad about it tho...

Remember when Saturdays meant CARTOONS !!!!...
If ya ever get up early on a Sat. - turn on the tv and see what passes for cartoons now a days. It's pathetic.

"Your ticker only has so many predetermined beats in it"

May they all be good ones. You been reading Stephen J. Gould by any chance?

Remember Infoseek Ultra? They had automatic real-time indexing. I'm pretty sure I was the first person to ever spam that engine. That was my first $500 day.

College freshman but she's 26. ;-)

18 is far too young for my tastes.
