Where does the time go?
 
Damn it's hard to believe, but I'll be 35 one month from today..:laugh: :eek: I wonder, how close am I now to being in gay terms a "Troll?":laugh: Oh well, like my grandma once said, "It's hell to get old, but it's worse not to.:)

I guess it just slipped awaaaaaay. *seems like the time, is slippin away*
But now you're saying you've been wrong, and you wanna come back home! You know I've known all along....

You're probably already a troll, don't sweat it.

I am asking myself the same question, almost every single day. I'll be 30 in June..
Anyway, you should listen to Nina Simone's song, with the exact same title. Or not, if you are in a bad mood.It's a very sad, but sweet,song.

you know what creeps me out real badly? (i'm 33 btw...), when i watch all those bizarre 80's music videos, and realizing that i'm so antique, that i've actually been there in real-time, thinking that looking and sounding like that is cool and hip.:eek:

I'm going to college in September. How do ya think I feel? :p

Well...I remember when
 
Topping you all at 47:eek:
I remember when new "albums" you know...vinyl, came out and
waiting in line at the record store to buy "Tusk"- I already had 2 copies of Rumours because the first was scratched to hell...... And my Buckingham/Nicks record was really scratched too..but I could never find another...

The clothes-the incense-the drugs-the "talk" the whole late 70's groove, looking back it looks silly in some clips- the hair- the clothes-the "things" that were cool...but when you are 18 and it is 1976, when you were there to experience it and be a part of it all-Everything was changing.

This was the year that we were allowed to vote at 18 (a VERY big deal with the Vietnam war still very fresh), oh yes, we were also allowed to drink too.
In 1976, when you were 18, you legally became an adult...and how I loved it:) :)
I wish that some of you could have known the world then, for it truly was different~~eclipse~~

Sucks to you and your young age :p

I'm 30 and I'm feeling riddled with anxiety. Why? I don't really know. I guess it's because I think that I should have accomplished all kinds of wonderful, important things by now but imo, haven't. Ugh. I hate birthdays now. I remember when I turned 21 and thought I was just the shiznit, you know, when you're 20 you don't think about getting older, or that you're ever going to get old, boy, I wish I still had that same wide-eyed optimism.

BLOWHARD!

I am 39 as of last Nov. and am far from a troll. In fact, I look the best I have in a decade or so. Age is a state of mind my friend!

Though, I will admit, getting old does suck :laugh:

I'm thinking...That 70's Show? :shrug: :laugh:

Yeah, you are among my mother-in-law's generation, and she talks about her youth in this same way, except that she had my husband at 16, so much of her life turned out to be a lot less carefree. I think about it, how hard that must've been to raise a child and overcome all kinds of obstacles at such a young age, makes me feel like I had it pretty easy growing up.

Pisces Queen 02-23-2006 10:47 AM

Well David ~ I feel your pain ~ I will be 35 in 3 days. I was thinking back on my birthdays past. Especially my 16th. Good times. Sometimes it feels like yesterday and other times it feels like it was lifetimes ago. :shocked:

stargazer99 02-23-2006 12:05 PM

I've been very nostalgic/melancholy lately about my age and how time is flying by. The closer I get to 40, the more freaked out I get. (I'll be 39 in September.) Scary! But, getting older certainly beats the alternative!

Jason my friend, you'll be just like Dick Clark. You'll look great no matter what your age.:thumbsup:
