    How does that song go......?

     

    I'm not as good as I once was but I'm as good once as I ever was.

        That's a problem for folks like me were never that good to begin with.

          I'm certainly too old for late nights out on any kind of regular basis but I have found that one of the benefits of being in decent shape, coupled with decades of military experience, means that I can handle it on occasion.  But not if I have to work the next day.

           

          I'm too old for pop music.  Then again, I hated that shit when I was in high school.  I had a t-shirt that said, "death before disco."  You may still find me at something like a Godsmack or a Disturbed concert.

           

          I'm too old for Monday Night Football no matter who is playing.  Bedtime is 10:00 sharp.  I will stay up until 1:00 a.m. on Saturdays for college football though because I don't have to be at work on Sunday.

           

          I'm too old to sleep in a shitty motel and there is no way in hell I'd sleep in a car.  I still love sleeping under the stars though.

           

          I'm too old for the latest gadgets.  I wait until they are about 2nd or 3rd generation.

           

          I'm too old for mud runs or warrior dashes.  The military cured me of any desire to do that shit for fun.

           

          I'm too old to give a damn what folks think about me.  Of course, I never did.

                I also am way too old to deal with sleeping on someone's futon or floor.  I will gladly pay for a hotel to avoid the resulting stiff neck.

                 

                 

                Is this where I admit that my bed is still a futon?

                 

                I am upgrading this month (thanks mom) and a little worried that the change will be bad for my back, since I'm so used to the futon.

                      Too old to:

                      Bungy jump not that I ever did, or would!

                      To agree with some whack ass color my lady wants to paint a room in the house.

                      To say some shit tastes good in a restaurant when in fact I hated it.

                      To care what other people do with their lives.

                       

                      Not too old to:

                      Put the toilet seat down.

                      Hold the door open for someone.

                      Sing the theme to Sesame Street.

                      Speak to and/or engage in lively discussions with total strangers.

                          I was asked recently what would it take to wake me from a coma, to which I responded either the Sesame Street song or this oldie but goodie by Bugs Bunny.

                              I occasionally think that I'm too old for "wearing certain clothes,"  "acting a certain way," etc, then I violate my own I'm-too old-for rule.  So I guess the only things I'm too old for are things I'm incapable of doing such as hearing really high pitched noises, seeing up close without reading glasses, and getting away with buying menu items marked "12 and under."

                                Oh!  I got another.   A few months ago, I went to a bachelorette party for somone who is younger by like 10 years.  It was mostly her friends and me... it was at some bar, loud music, dark and they arrived having already BEEN to a bar so they were blitzed.   I spent the dinner having a "yelling" conversation, with my ears pounding from the music and yelling, and the food was meh and the drunk girl next to me kept talking with her hands and accidently throwing french fries at me.   I left as soon as the dinner part was over and they continued on bar hopping.

                                 

                                There was a time where I did that almost every weekend.   I am way too old for that shit now!

                                 

                                Apparently my signature should read "get off my lawn"...

                                 

                                I made up an excuse to not go to my future SIL's bachelorette party a few weeks ago, because it would have been the exact same situation and I was having major anxiety about going.  Eff that - I'm too old for that shit.
