I'm Old

I had something totally unexpected happen today. Jay Leno was on TV (unusual as I generally do not watch him) and he had one of his segments on where people send in the strangest photos and articles. Here is one of the things he had on...


Say it isn't so. I used to love Foreigner in my teens/early 20s. If you look closely, their latest tour is sponsored by AARP. Now I was sent an application for AARP last year and it did not bother me but to see one of the groups I loved while I was growing up sponsored by the American Association of Retired People... I'm Old.

Sign, it is about as bad as when they first started calling 70s music, which I was from my high school/collage years, oldies. I hope they do not start picking on the 80s and 90s. You don't need to see that. It is not pretty.

Oh no Lara, they don't do that. They should be shot. And so should MTV. Truth in advertising should force them to change their name.

No problems Lime. We will just change what the initials AARP stands for. Problem solved.

It was a Monday, just like any other day
I left a small town for the apple in decay.....


Bryan! LOL YOu would NOT tip over a rickshaw now stop that. I know you are a big guy, dude, but I have seen entire families crammed into a shaw, over and over again....(lol they werent stuffed into the shaw over and over again! but you know what I mean)
had to be about 1,000 pounds of people at least in them!
Anyway, yeah I think having the sink out from the toilet does make people wash for sure, and in a country where most people eat with their fingers, this is a good thing.

Oh yeah, and as for the gas, you will pay more the closer you get to San Francisco, but im 60 miles north. It does seem that gas prices in rest of the US are getting to be as bad as the bay area though!

Since I must be older than you, I refuse to accept your claim of being old. "Old" is definitely a moving target. Thank God.

I came over here from Mr. Saintly Nick's in order to thank you for your kind thoughts during my surgery. It really, really helped and I'm now mending.

But being torn up from surgery made me feel really, really old...

Suzie, I reserve me opinion about the rickshaw. You know I thought the prices were bad everywhere in CA, I had no idea it made that much difference. Yea for 60 miles North. Before long we are going to have to stay home and grow our own food. I might be in trouble with this one unless I can survive on tomatoes, green peppers and banana peppers.

Carol, as you say age is all relative. I used to think anyone over 20 was old. Then it was 25, then 30, then 40... Maybe there is no such thing as old. Actually, I think old is much more a state of mind than actual age. Glad the surgery went well and I am sure you will be feeling yourself before you know it. Good luck with the recovery.

` I can't wait to feel old. As of 16 minutes ago, I'm officially in my late twenties! Just getting closer.

` BTW, it's not unusual for Jay Leno to be on TV. ;)

Gab, what ever do you mean? It is 1993, isn't it?

Seequine, your wish is granted. Does this mean I should be wishing you a Happy Birthday? I best come visit and see. I wonder what Windowcat has planned for you?

Leno, not unusual ... well, actually if we phrase it that way...

` Thanks and indeed. Unfortunately, my blogging plans ran into a little glitch. I'll have SOMETHING up today....

I fucking LOVE Foreigner.

And, yes, I'm old enough to appreciate them.

Which is damn sexy.

Maybe this is because I am not exactly sure what the AARP actually is...

...except for that it is often a solution to a clue on the crossword puzzle.

I never look at who sponsors shows anyway.

I just look at who's playing.

And check out hotties while at the show.

Nothing else really matters.

This one looks like a good time!

Mick Jones? Yeah!

Jason Bonham! I've seen him, good stuff.

Don't know how Kelly Hansen is though.
