the aging hip

2008-10-27T05:35:00.001-07:00

I don't need to be anyone.
I am who I happen to be.

2008-10-22T00:58:00.001-07:00

"I'm sixty but I am not really old."
(This is just something old people say.)

2008-10-18T08:00:00.001-07:00

A tip on aging:
Think about it this way — what would a young man do if he were trapped inside this aging body?

2008-10-15T05:26:00.001-07:00

I see the middle-age losers in their leather jackets.
I prefer being a middle-age loser in an REI fleece.

2008-10-12T03:36:00.001-07:00

What did I think growing up would be a feeling?

2008-10-09T06:00:00.001-07:00

I've got growing (old) pains.

2008-10-06T03:42:00.001-07:00

As I age I begin to question the value of posthumous fame.

2008-10-03T06:36:00.001-07:00

I always thought I would grow up.
Funny how I never did.

2008-09-30T05:46:00.001-07:00

Sitting is for young people.
Sleeping is for young people.
Dying, however, now that is for old people!

2008-09-27T07:35:00.001-07:00

As we age, we will need new dreams.
My new dream is to have a kick-ass Estate Sale.

2008-09-25T05:41:00.001-07:00

Thinking about sex, fantasizing about, making double entendres and joking about sex is the best sex I get.

2008-09-21T07:02:00.000-07:00

Having tried, and failed, to write songs,
I can now see that writing lyrics is one more thing I'm no good at.
At the end of my life,
I will see
I am no good for anything.

2008-09-18T06:12:00.001-07:00

I am skipping grown-up and going straight into post-adult.

2008-09-16T06:23:00.001-07:00

Not making a bucket list
is on my bucket list.

2008-09-12T05:12:00.000-07:00

Is it too late
for me to be a dandy?

2008-09-09T05:22:00.001-07:00

My shadow
has not aged.

2008-09-07T10:59:00.001-07:00

Not "growing up," but "growing on."

2008-09-04T00:52:00.001-07:00

Brains don't age.

2008-08-26T05:52:00.001-07:00

I don't know about the long-term safety of milk.
I have been drinking milk for sixty years.
Now I look like an old man.

2008-08-23T17:55:00.001-07:00

The new car and the new clothes are virtual youth.

2008-08-21T08:08:00.001-07:00

I keep forgetting what I know.

2008-08-17T12:32:00.000-07:00

Old people will wave to you, smile and talk to you.
That's because they're old and desperate.
That is why they are so nice.
They are really desperate.

2008-08-12T06:32:00.001-07:00

We know about "senior moments."
What about "junior moments"?

2008-08-10T05:04:00.000-07:00

Aging:
What to do on the melting ice flow.

2008-07-30T18:46:00.001-07:00

Byron brags he is still good in bed:
he can usually sleep the whole night without waking up for a pee.

2008-07-28T09:38:00.001-07:00

Playing the Age Card Aggressively™:
Fuck with the minds of the young:
"I told you about the time I killed that couple from Vermont, didn't I?"

2008-07-23T10:06:00.001-07:00

I want to see if I can pretend to grow up.

2008-07-21T05:29:00.000-07:00

What will irritate today's generation
thirty years from now?

2008-07-18T16:39:00.000-07:00

I forget, what is the "o-word":
is it "old" or is it "ordinary"?

2008-07-12T13:22:00.000-07:00

Godammit!!
Godammit!!
Godammit!!
Godammit!!
Godammit!!
Godammit!!
Godammit!!
Godammit!!
I'm getting old.

2008-07-10T08:54:00.001-07:00

A benefit of aging:
more young people, less old people.

2008-07-08T11:29:00.001-07:00

As you age, your sense of the normal drifts
but your sense of your sense of the normal doesn't usually drift the same way.

2008-07-06T07:54:00.001-07:00

Sleep giveth and sleep taketh away.

2008-07-04T09:36:00.001-07:00

Why are we here?
We are here to party

2008-07-02T11:42:00.000-07:00

Another bad thing about aging:
you have to have sex with old people!

2008-06-30T20:55:00.001-07:00

New words for new times™:
senidealism

2008-06-28T06:07:00.001-07:00

Maybe it's age-inappropriate even being alive at sixty.

2008-06-26T05:47:00.000-07:00

We go through life a number of times.
Towards the end, we go through it affettuoso, with feeling.

2008-06-24T20:29:00.001-07:00

I am having a bad age day.

2008-06-22T05:56:00.000-07:00

We're ripened
and then we are plucked.
(Oh, we are so plucked.)

2008-06-20T17:55:00.001-07:00

When are you too old for a vision quest?

2008-06-18T05:20:00.000-07:00

I see Gen-Y and I will probably see Gen-Z.
Sadly I will not get to see Gen-AA
let alone Gen-AB.

2008-06-16T22:32:00.000-07:00

You're never too old to pretend you're still young.

2008-06-15T05:27:00.000-07:00

Kids are stupid but fun.

2008-06-13T04:18:00.001-07:00

the Harley-Davidson walker

2008-06-10T03:12:00.000-07:00

Seniors rock!

2008-06-08T05:29:00.000-07:00

Part of aging gracefully is to fight against aging gracefully.

2008-06-06T05:49:00.001-07:00

When I grow up, I want to be a beachcomber.

2008-06-04T04:59:00.000-07:00

A not-all-that-useful phrase:
"You look old, but in a good way."

2008-06-03T09:33:00.001-07:00

Sitting is for young people.

2008-05-31T04:56:00.000-07:00

Napping, the most gentle exercise

2008-05-30T00:40:00.000-07:00

The aging person lives more desperately on the shrinking ice flow of the present.

2008-05-27T21:12:00.000-07:00

I don't like the term "senior citizen."
I do not define myself as "a citizen."
I prefer: "senior commandante"
or "senior party official."

2008-05-26T10:55:00.000-07:00

As I age I must come to terms with the fact I am myself only some of the time.

2008-05-25T12:55:00.001-07:00

Where is the future?
It should have been here by now.

2008-05-24T05:47:00.000-07:00

I am so tired of pretending to be younger than I am.
