Sign I'm Getting Old: I went to pick up the kids from school today and completely missed my turn-off, heading half-way in to town.
But Not Too Old To Party: So I pulled a U-Turn, cranked up some metal (Rings of Saturn) and head-banged all the way to elementary school.
Sign I'm Getting Old: I'd rather stay home with the family than go to an outdoor metal festival. Sorry Mayhem Fest.
But Not Too Old To Party: Those kids are going to bed early so I can drink beer and play Guitar Hero in my underwear all night.
Sign I'm Getting Old: I spend more time yelling things like "Don't touch that", "Who did this", and "Stop".
But Not Too Old To Party: When I do yell "Stop" it is immediately followed by "Hammertime" and my awe-inspiring rendition of the Hammer Slide.
But Not Too Old To Party: I know that all this handstand practice will make her own everybody else at college keg stand parties.
Make Daddy proud.
Sign I'm Getting Old: I have life insurance, a will, and a trust fund set up.
But Not Too Old To Party: The will has specific instructions to throw my ashes in a biodegradable urn alongside an apple seed and plant me.
That's one way to say "Eat Me" to the world long after you're gone.
Sign I'm Getting Old: My brain comes up with awesome blog posts around 11:30 at night when I'm falling asleep and then I forget them by morning.
But Not Too Old To Party: I'm getting revenge by slowly killing brain cells.
The brain is such a scumbag.
Please tell me that you turned up at the school blasting that Rings of Saturn track. That's truly heavy as a heavy thing.
ReplyDeleteSomething tells me that you're not ready for the tartan slippers and milky drink just yet.
Not ready for the slippers yet, although I do have a rather nice housecoat and pipe.
ReplyDeleteKnowing what the hammer slide is, let alone being able to actually do it, does indeed make you OLD. But sadly, I am in the same boat.
ReplyDeleteTo make matters worse, I also owned a pair of parachute pants. I believe they were white with zebra stripes and I miss them.
