You know you're getting old when... (part 2)

You're the last one to finish when shotgunning a beer

You wake up by 8am every day regardless of how tired you are

You realize that zits are not just a phase you go through during puberty

You start thinking that people in their 30s are in your generation

You look in the mirror and honestly are surprised at what you see - several times (swear to god, this happened to me today, I thought I was having an acid flashback)

You make inadvertent grunts and groans every time you stand up or sit down

You can predict what parts of your body are going to hurt the next day

Movies that came out during your lifetime are being remade
i.e. Batman, The Neverending Story, Clue, The Bad Seed, Day of the Dead, Escape from New York, The Hills Have Eyes Part II (the original part I is from the late 70s), The Hulk, The Hitcher, Friday the 13th (a little old, but worth mentioning), Can't Buy Me Love, Man On Fire, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe etc.

You have a significant other and still haven't had sex for 2 months (I know it's the distance... but fuck I'm horny)

Your favorite features of your car are the electrically powered, plush, comfortable seats and manually dimmable dashboard lights (in case the bright lights are hurting your eyes at night)

You find yourself falling on the back end of technology because you just don't feel like putting in the effort to learn how it works

You find yourself ignoring new popular music because for the most part it "just isn't as good as music was 10 years ago"

You realize a few beers and a few bowls with good friends is better than any of the parties you've ever been to

Damn, that's pretty comprehensive list.

-I can't see you not keeping pace when drinking.
-I've had an inadvertent groan yesterday when crouching down
-The Neverending Story is being remade?! They'll destroy any cheesy awesomeness that movie originally had. Damn Hollywood cash cows!
-I love power seats. They're the best
-I try to keep pace with technology, but I honestly don't care unless I need to
-Popular music sucks, with some exceptions
-Chilling with friends is the way to go

Love ya buddy, hope to see you soon
