I think of all the things I've seen in my brief time here and wonder what it will be like at the end of my life. My grandparents were born in the 1890's and lived almost 100 years - imagine the changes they saw - cars and planes came about, all the world wars, space travel, computers, holy friggin moly.

And yes, I remember the fear of a nuclear war - knowing what I know now about politicians though I'm not afraid of anything that involves government anymore except taxes.

I feel ya bro, been skateboarding since I was 9. My knees and ankles are shot!

I still have phases where I hop back on my board, but eff jumping down big ****. I'm going to build an excellent mini ramp, always wanted to and never had the money growing up.

Just hang out, listen to music and skate my mini, now that's a plan.....

My first LP was KISS Destroyer and I played Detroit Rock City over and over again.
I brought my own popcorn (legally) to see opening of Star Wars.
First movie I saw by myself was "The Warriors".

and besides all that above, you know your getting older when you start going to alot of funerals.

Well one day while I was showering I was wondering "Am I 23 or 24?"

I can remember watching MILF porn when the MILFs were actually older than me

Makes me love to hit this site: X-Entertainment's Download Center - Watch Hundreds of 80s Commercials, FREE!

Tons of commercials that were long deleted from my daily memory..

When I saw a little girl point to a Sega Dreamcast in a glass case and ask her mom"whats that thing mom?"

[Anatoray]

Uh... you could be in highschool, and a little girl could not know what a Sega Dreamcast is lol.

You know you're getting old when you talk about how awesome it is that Sonic 4 is going back to its roots and some punk says "Sonic was born on Nintendo systems and Sonic 4 should go to Sony and MS".

Ba ha ha, Thats the ultimate "getting older" for skateboarders........


Getting hurt will put a real strain in my life plan.

I always have little kids say "Can you jump that 12 stair!?" I say "yeah, but why? It hurts my knees and the benefit factor is minimal."

The look of confusion on their faces after that is priceless.

I know i'm getting old because i'm super excited for the just announced Back to the Future bluray set o.o
