Am i really getting old? I'm working on my 26th year on this earth and im starting to feel...old...

I dont mean my body, i mean as far as my social place sort of...

i was at the mall shopping for xmas. i hit the usual zumies, pac sun etc. I can usually find some cool shirts or a sweatshirt or something, scope out some new kicks...i could not be in the store longer than 5min. I felt completly out of place, and disgusted by what i saw. Tight pants, neon everything, emo kids galor, strange crappy music, and worst of all, nothing worth even looking at as far as buying! Id walk in, and immediatly right back out.

As i walked through the mall, i always found myself thinking...damn kids. then i think wait, im still pretty much a kid! i still go through the toy section at target, play video games, fart and laugh about it, all that fun kid like stuff haha

is it just me or is the new style of the skate and snow world really lame? i wear normal fitting clothes, that are a little baggy, i buy snow gear more for the performance than the style, i own no neon...am i just not cool anymore? hahaha

ok first off, a neon green one piece suit for time travel purposes is fully acceptable!

I am pretty sure i will end up on a porch, in a rocking chair and a pipe, yelling at kids to get of my lawn. haha

doesn't count unless you have 12 gauge wih no shells on your lap to scare them' damn kids

ok i dont feel quite so bad haha!

but seriously, if i see a kid in some normal-ish clothes, i notice that kid more! its like holy crap there is a non-emo kid in normal clothes! but normal isnt normal, so he is now the cool kid for being not normal! haha

i cant wrap my mind around how one would actually skate in those pants some of the these kids are rocking, let alone squeeze a pair of undergamets in there. and the ones on the hill, tight pants (sometimes jeans? are you kidding me!), 45in stance, 142cm board on a pow day....heading straight to the park...i guess im all for park riders these days, really it just keeps em out of my way haha

  is that like boarders version of skiblades?... are they just as gay?

The problem is you're shopping at a store whose target audience is 10 to 21.  Now you want to see out of place you should see me walking through J. Crew or Eddie Bauer that turns some serious heads.

One time this guy pretty much followed me home from the bar and his presence at my house was totally unwelcome. Regardless, he started getting it on with me, and before I could say 'tight pants, wide stance,' he was unzipping his skinny ass jeans but couldn't get them off. There's nothing more humorous than a guy who thinks he has game, and can't get his tight pants off because his beer gut and ass are too big. Now that's one thing emo kids can aspire to. Comic relief.

if only you would have known then....

hey, desperate times, desperate measures.

the other day I bought a mass amount of toliet paper and felt old.  I thought that in the past if I were to buy that much all at once the cashier would have a raised eyebrow while I tried to contain my giggles.  But, not evil intent of toliet papering someones home with this purchase, just stocking up to wipe my ass and maybe wrap myself up as a mummy if I get bored one night.

i don't condone weapons...

 

so i sit there with a bag of oranges.  not only will they hurt when i hit em, but they can eat them to prevent scurvy.

 

 

 

 

 

yeah, i am not big on the newer styles... and i know what you mean.  i went into the local generic mall skate/snow store to grab a couple things and felt like the girl working there was helping me get stuff for my kids instead of for me.  i'm 28, but feel like it was just yesterday that i'd be flirting with those same girls.... now i'm the guy with grey hairs in a suit talking about the new videos asking if there are some without urban stuff... and probably still flirting, but thats just what i do and don't realize it till afterwards.  she can have a good laugh at my expense with her grade 9 friends on myspace.

Ugh, I feel your pain.

I rode my Suzuki to the mall once to get out of the house. While there I saw a Chicago Bears jersey at Fans that they never have in stock.

Those girls must be getting commission cause this chick was trying hard to sell it. I wanted it, but it was Summer and hot and my moto has no bags.

So I tell the girl I rode my motorcycle and had no where to put the Jersey. She looked at me funny but I wasn't thinking about looking cool.

I bought a 5 dollar backpack and came back, said I was ready to buy it, and she asked if I rode my bicycle, I was like, um no, motorcycle.

Her and her friends kinda laughed. When I left, I realized I was probably the butt of jokes.

I just turned 22 and I already feel old. I can't stay up as late as I used to and I always get tired early.

Im 30 this year and cant handle the pace anymore,the days of drinking from friday night until monday morning are finished,I started boarding when I was 28,I ache for a week after Ive been!

Same.  I used to run on 4hrs of sleep a night and feel fine.  Now I can sleep 8hrs or a bit more and still feel a bit run down.  Guess it's all catchin up to me and I'm only 25 lol.

you guys are missing the point, we all feel older and lazy with age. but im talking about being "un-cool" already, and im not even in my 30's! not that i get super stressed about not being part of the fad, im just sayin, young kids style is rediculous. i mean like, really really rediculous!
