Six Tell-Tell Signs of Premature Aging

C.B. Jones
Seems like an eternity since I felt my age. I use to do the same things all young folks like to do. At some point, everything changed. As of right now, I feel like a 63 year old with failing lungs and a warped sense of humor.

Maybe I should have left that disgruntled Gypsy woman alone...Or maybe this is by design. Jebus/Budda/Allah/Spock is punishing me for not fully appreciating youth. While I'm still here, I might as well provide assistance to those who may have early signs of premature maturity.

You know you're getting old when...
...Saturday morning doesn't get you hyped like it used to. When you're young, you wake up just to see the cartoons. As an adult, you're contempt with just laying in bed, nothing more.

Fetal Position > Naruto, spungebob, etc.

You know you're getting old when...
...certain body parts ache when it rains. That's not normal for a 24 year old, is it? Sometimes it's the left hand, sometimes it's my right foot. Not sure if it's old age, or I'm some kind of weather soothsayer.

You know you're getting old when...
...When something bad happens, you blame popular music. I got cussed out on Xbox Live(wrote about it, read it!) last year. These blasted kids with their *add pop act here*! When I was young...blah, blah, blah...That's how it was, and we liked it!

You know you're getting old when...
..You drift in and out of sleep in the middle of a rant. I've been on the receiving end of a harsh rant, and saw this happen once. I should have left before they woke up. Like an idiot I stayed in the room, they eventually woke up, and continued the tongue lashing.

You know you're getting old when...
...You yell at everything and everybody. I've had a short fuse.While I'd like to think I can keep my temper under control, that just isn't the case. The other day I started yelling at a wasp on my windowsill because I couldn't find the bug spray. I used words like "terrorist" and ""pokemon reject".

You know you're getting old when...
...Mortality ruins your fun. Action movies, contact sports like Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts, gory video games and anything you else you may have enjoyed at one time, are suddenly TOO MUCH! It gets to the point where the only time you want to see blood and guts is when watching Discovery Health Channel, or CSI.
