    It's so hard to get old without a cause
    I don't want to perish like a fading horse
    Youth's like diamonds in the sun,
    And diamonds are forever

    Very Dylan-esque

    I hate it when waiters in a restaurant call me "boss." I'm not their f**king boss. Waitresses never do it, thank god.

    Do you look anything like George Kennedy or Paul Newman? "Fetching the drinks, boss, fetching the drinks."

    I hate that too

    One thing that made me realize I was old is when being around people in their 20's annoyed me.

    When I realized the hair in my ears, nose, and eyebrows was growing better than the hair on my head.

    Feeling old is like peeling an onion. Every time I hit something that knocks the air out of me, six months later I'll encounter a new degradation of decrepitude that makes me realize what came six months ago was trivial, and I now I finally truly realize what it is to feel old.

    And six months later the cycle repeats.

    When I see all these athletes retiring and being past their prime yet they are younger than me.
