And you just want a pizza and put your feet up in front of Dave.

Start hitting the gym twice a year.

recovery time from a single gym session rises to 6 months

Kidney stones, greying hair, high triglycerides, lower metabolism, tinnitus, back problems,....

oh, and the inability to count.

I'm cool with the grey hair.

i've got greying hair, back is ok, and i don't even want to take the tests for any of the others

Kidney stones, greying hair, high triglycerides, lower metabolism, tinnitus, back problems,....

Blimey, 0 out of six!

Playing that math game in your head where you can somehow figure out that the year of your birth is closer to the Great Depression than it is to the present day.

year of my birth closer to x than present day is a promising thread premise

Year of my birth closer to Wall Street Crash than present day cheers guys I'm just going for a walk and I may be some time.

european economic community. fuck's sake.

Year of my birth closer to BBC's first Television broadcast than the present day.

is that such a big thing? i mean my year of birth is closer to JFK's assassination than the present day. shrug.

It's just getting a sense of perspective. I didn't use to need a sense of perspective.

Pah, youngsters! The year of my birth is closer to the END OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR then the present day...

Thinking about buying the boxset of JAG

The year of my birth is closer to the START OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR then the present day...

do women have mid life crisis?

they go straight from 29 to 65 i think

Favorite bands all on reunion tours and/or losing members to cancer.

Women fear and/or resent their aging for different reasons, most of which actually hit before the technical "mid-life" point. Probably closer to around 30.

That is my totally throwing-shit-out-there opinion. Possibly challopy.

irl lol

75% of the poster on yr favorite msg bored are old/young enough to be yr kids :-)

I'm 41, probably the right time for a mid-life crisis. I do worry about death more; partly because I don't want to miss "what's next," whatever that is; mostly because I don't want to leave my wife and daughter. I get sad a little more often. I get angry a little faster, too(never with my family; mostly with opposing counsel (not necessarily such a bad thing)).

Also, I've been buying vintage tee-shirts (see a favorite below) and trying to learn to play guitar, bass and piano. But I'm pretty happy, and those are pretty minor vices, as mid-life crises go. Besides, those aren't things found "in every mid-life crisis ever."

I get sad a little more often. I get angry a little faster,

thats exactly the opposite to me.
at 41, i am a lot calmer/happier now than ever before.
i am not sure if i had my crisis a while ago when my head starting opening up buried memories that i had no desire to via some very intense dreams, which put me in a spin for quite a few months.
or, if that was just a minor mental ripple prior to big one thats looming on the horizon.

What you wore in high school goes out of fashion... again.

Double-digit # of US presidents in your lifetime.

Then I'm not there yet. Obama '12!

xp Laurel: I think women are less mid-life crisis-y, and more in a state of semi-constant anxiety from the late 20s on. I think women that are more focused on their bodies have it worse than those who aren't.

MOJO magazine seems to skewing a bit young.

You leave simple verbs out of your posts 'cause they're not worth the effort.

you have gray beard hair but u just combed the grecian formula all up in it, later chatting up a lady in the service industry trapped behind a counter who obviously hates you.

poor baristas

nobody makes jeans that fit anymore

"i'll be the oldest one there" becomes your excuse for not going to shows/parties/bars

/not picking up children from school

...you try to fuck someone 20 years younger than you.

...and if you succeed, society at large feels bad for both of you.

trying to f-ck someone 20 years younger than you is legal

wondering at what exact point looking at younger women became crepey

ha. (or, 30 indeed. Not that I'm going to..) (xpost)

Hip young things revive fashions that you were wearing the first time round.
