Oh crap. It’s only a few days after my birthday and I apparently turned the corner to old. Up until Sunday, I was jamming to my iPod, watching youthful sit-coms and looking towards the future. Today? Everything on my iPod sounds like undecipherable noise, I have a hankering to watch According to Jim and Two and a Half Men and I find myself fondly remembering how much better everything was when I was a lad.
Instead of digging the Eels, I am suddenly yearning to listen to Pat Boone. I cannot emphasize how much this caught me off guard. I thought one slowly slid into the “Kids Theses Days…” mentality. I did not expect to wake up one day no longer able to appreciate Wes Anderson movies and wishing they made movies like they did when I was a kid. I mean, where is the modern One Crazy Summer?! That was when they knew how to make a comedy.
I also found myself with the desire to vote for Mike Huckabee. Now there is a man that screams “perfect presidential candidate.” He used to be a pastor, you know. What better choice than a former pastor to hold the highest office in the land? What? He dropped out? McCain…now there is a man that just screams “perfect presidential candidate.”
Interestingly, Norbit is just as crappy a movie as it was before my birthday. Glad to see not all things changed.
Frankly, I am a bit depressed by this. I thought I had another seven or eight years before I was complaining about that loud music they play at church. I haven’t even hit forty…and here I am…the old guy. Is anybody up for a game of pinocle?
