i_like_sun Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 you might want to start with drinking a beer first. bears are for those over 30. Â Â Yeah, you might lose yer head trying to do that! Â Â Actually, I do understand that age is a state of mind. My dad is a amazing example! The bastard is 63 years old, and still climbs every freaking weekend. He also summited Rainier a couple years ago in (almost) fantastic style. Granted, he has slowed down in the mountains these past few years, but he seems to have more energy than anyone else I know. Â Its just strange. Moving closer to the mid 20's.... I mean, C'mon, my whole life I've been a kid. And now I'm not, but still not quite grown up either. Everyone I talk to says the early 20's are some of the wierdest years...... and thats certainly my experience! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lizard_brain Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Heres a new rant:Â For the past FIVE YEARS, I've ALWAYS, ALWAYS had some sort of big science mid-term on my birthday! What the hell is going on???!!! Â Second bitching point: I am now 23 years old. This means that I am no longer 19 years old. Fuck. I am beggining to understand now what this "aging" thing means. Don't get me wrong, I certainly know that I'm still WAY YOUNG. But dude, I'm already OVER 1/5 of a century old!!! This just feels unnatural..... I remember being eight years old so vividly........ Â Man, I seriously still feel like a kid in so many ways. But here I am spending so much damn time growing up, stressing the crap out of my adrenals over school, when all I honestly feel like doing at this moment is to either move to Mexico and do nothing but surf and get tan, or be a full time dirtbag and climb mountains. Â OK I'm done. For now. Â Dude, you are cracking me up. Â I am also 46. I keep thinking I am 28. I keep thinking something is wrong with me, because everyone around me keeps ageing, and I'm still a frickin' kid. I know so many people in their 30's that are old men and women already. I would feel sorry for them if I cared. It's their problem - not mine. (I blame part of it on TV and other media.) Run, climb, have fun. Why look back, especially if it makes you feel bad.

Â I missed a whole in one on at golf once. I made it in the hole on the temperary winter green in July. Missed by three months. Â Ok, mid life crisis at 23. Cool. Now when do we get the bear?
