I Think I'm Becoming An Adult Or Something...

I've heard that, too. Not that they "need" less sleep, but that they have more trouble sleeping, so they get less hours, on average.

 

Bunch of geezers in this thread!

I don't really feel old most of the time. One thing I do notice once in a while is at work....when I started I was definitely the youngest around (18 at the time). All of the other guys were at least 10-20 years older than me and I looked up to them as the older, sort of battle hardened tough guys leading the way. Now I'm the oldest out there and my word is pretty much never questioned. So sometimes I wonder when the hell that happened.

 

What brought it home to me was when my boss asked ME to take out the new blokes and train them on ro-ro roadtrains.
Until that moment,I'd never thought of myself as either mature OR responsible. Yes,I was in both the Merchant and Royal Navy...but it just never occurred to me that I was/am the mature type,OR that I'm seen as an experienced 'senior years' old fart,until Colin asked me to train the new starters on the 360' excavators and ro-ro trucks. Shit-I must be old!

 

It all started when I turned 25 and realized I had done nothing with my life the past 6 years except smoke pot and work part-time. I basically lost my mind for a little while then started cutting pot and alcohol out of my life to the point where this is the first time in 7 years that on more days than not I remain sober.

Then there's those first wrinkles on the face, forehead and smile lines (which just means I've smiled alot in my life so its all good.)

But at the end of the day age is a mindset. I was scared of it for a while but now I say its nothing more than the number of times this planet has circled the sun since I arrived.

Hell with good nutrition, proper sleep, excercise and meditation and avoiding smoking, too much alcohol and too much sun I think we can slow down the aging process to the point where its irrelevant and we can even have more peace of mind living this way.

Its these realizations that make me glad to be an adult. I just wish we could all look 18 forever.

I just wish I can smoke pot and work part time forever

 

Or you go to the doctor and hope he doesn't kill you in the process.

 

what makes me feel old:

dubstep

i think that means that you have a newborn

 

i think a lot of people like to fool themselves as to what 'adult' consists of.
