So… I was supposed to go out on Friday night. The thing is… I got home from work and thought it would be a good idea to take a lil’ nap so I could make it past oh… I don’t know say midnight.

Because that’s what you have to do when you get old. You have to prepare for a night out, like an athlete prepares for a marathon…

Anyway… I laid down on the couch and shut my eyes, and the next thing you know… It’s 2 AM and I haven’t moved, and I think to myself… “I’m getting old”

So I’ve compiled a list of the top eleven signs that you’re getting older… And yes… It is a list of eleven. Any senior citizen with a blog can give you a list of ten… It takes a real genius to bring you eleven…

And now without further delay… The top eleven signs that you’re getting older:

11. A nap is a requirement for a night out.

10. Your weekend is devoted to grass and weeds… Well I guess technically that hasn’t changed… But instead of smoking it your main concern is mowing it.

9. Now that you think about it… Your parents actually did make a whole lot of sense.

8. No matter how hard you try to understand them… Your kids have become completely insane!

7. You start to notice the music that the kids are listening to lately is total crap!

6. Speaking of music you also notice the songs that once represented your youthful rebellion… Now represent luxury cars in commercials.

5. Speaking of cars… When you consider buying a new car the most important number becomes MPG… Not HP.

4. Maintaining your weight becomes a chore… rather than a given.

3. Sex is no longer just a pleasurable experience… It’s also a great way to get in a calorie burning, cardio workout!

2. You have more hair growing from your ears and nose than you do on the top of your head.

1. You realize the Republican Party isn’t so bad after all.

All I can say is… Man it sucks to get old…

I’m Just Sayin’…
