I am Uncool
I’ve reached the age of ‘uncool’.I was christened with this title last week when I flew home. It was 10PM. I announced I was fatigued and going to bed. Brother #4 was just getting ready to start the night and go out. He snorted in contempt and thought I was no longer different than the parents.
He vowed he would be different when he got to my age.
Well bro, I vowed the same thing too when I was your age.
Here are the tell-tale signs that I am “uncool”;
-The night is now for sleeping
-I have more lines than a movie script. (see above photo)
-I stopped listening to the Grammy’s as I don’t recognize anyone and besides all that racket sounds terrible anyway.
-I get cold, and need a coat.
-Stretching is a necessity, not just a pleasantry
-Gray suits are out now as they make the gray in my hair really obvious.
-I used to sing in the shower. Now I think in the shower (gee, maybe I should put down treads here).
-Vacations are turning from action time to down time. Mother’s notion of a ‘book by the pool’ no longer sounds dull and boring.
-I got my new suit at Brooks Brothers.
I would write more but my mind goes blanks these days. …….

Don't forget, we wake up way before the sun comes up to enjoy the morning :)
I can remember my dad saying, "it's the best part of the day"...now I can totally relate.
And wake up before the alarm. (And also during the nigh!)
Hmmm...you comment about having more lines than a movie script, and post this underneath a picture of you looking totally hot. No sympathy here. And I'm unsympathetic about the gray hair, too. Mine was still dark when we met in 2000. Unlike you, a photo of me from that distance leaves no doubt that I'm graying significantly at the moment. I have more gray hair than Mr. Wild One, and he's 10 years older than I am.
Aww, you'll always be cool in my book :)
You are not "uncool".
You are not "older".
You are better, perhaps only aged like the finest of wines, to be savored and enjoyed.
Oh ye-ah! Yes, you are! On this Someone and the rest of us agree!
another sexy shot...
woof!
here's my addition to 'you know you are older...'
Bathhouse beds don't feel as comfortable as they did when i was 21...
You are NOT unkool, just moving into a different phase of life, one with which lessons learned thus far puts you at an advantage over the youngins (tho they will not realize this until they get older). We thought the same way about our parents (hell I still do, my mother is 61 going on 80 it seems)
That is an adorable picture by the way, I think you need a hug!
:)
"-I stopped listening to the Grammy’s as I don’t recognize anyone and besides all that racket sounds terrible anyway." This one is SO ME!
But I think we are still kinda cool - when we are awake!
You're cool SPO!
Not older, just wiser.
More down to earth.
Lines make a man sexier.
I've had grey hair since I was 14. So? Grey is a color, not a "get in a nursing home" sign.
There are some tell-tale signs of aging in everyone.
I'e always vowed to be different when I grew up and left college. I don't feel different, but the reality is that I know I am.
I don't like turning in early--as the night still remains young for me. But I don't want to be that older creep that parties with a college crowd.
I think there are limits to everything, no matter what age. And if you are tired at an older age--I think it may be more a mental tired, because we do think more.
I figured out that I was older when in trying to stay with the times bought an outfit, wore it to my cousin's high school graduation party and noticed that many of his classmates were wearing it. I was definitely older when one of them said "excuse me SIR" in the food line.
You're not uncool because you go to bed earlier...you're uncool because you need 8 hours sleep! Kidding.
You're uncool when you try too hard to be cool. We think you're KEWL just the way you are!
Come and join the rest of us in our middle-aged dotage...
google gabble one of us
google gabble one of us
(cough)
You callin' us freaks? ; )
no, we are middle aged which is at times freakish enough!
You look pretty warm and snuggy in that jacket and hat - So I guess that would make you uncool :) But other than that - you're alright in my book.
I hear ya!!! Everyday is something new!!!
YOU ARE COOL
AND VERY SEXY !!!!!
WOOF
Hon, I turned fifty this year. And I'm just getting started with defining the new 'cool.' I'm wiser and seasoned; those Abercrombie twink-bots can bite my hard, old man cock.
Was it Abe Lincoln who said that a man's face before 40 is a gift of nature, after 40 it's a gift of his character.
I want to be on record as saying that I Love your character.
And I mean it. Seriously.
Screw the kids. Seriously.
Wine.
Cheese.
Hot men.
Better with some vintage years behind them.
You're always cool in my book.
You sure are hot for uncool! And I think your cool!
