Two Legs Good
Wednesday, October 05, 2005
Yesterday when I was 25 and I bought my movie ticket the girl didn't even ask if I was a student. She gave me the student discount because I looked that young.
Today when I'm 26 there was a 14-year-old in front of my locker at the gym. I told him to excuse me so I could get my clothes. He moved out of the way and replied, "Excuse me, Sir."
I am officially beyond old now:
- I listen to talk radio most of the day.
- I listen to audiobooks (just finished Animal Farm today).
- I get excited when it rains because that means my grass will look better.
- I think trimming baseboard is kind of fun and I can't wait to build a deck!
- I bought a wireless router and almost wanted to call some college kid to do it for me after not having it working after a half hour.
- I don't have time for video games anymore.
- I got a paper shredder and an ice tea maker for my birthday.
- My idea of a good party is
putting on classic George Gershwin records and talking about the good old days while sipping fine wines and eating cheesegrilling outside and later playing beer pong while there are 30 people at my house and somehow blood gets on the floor . - I like to sit in my office and talk to my 401k like an old lady talks to plants in hopes that it grows faster.
- My foot hurts so much sometimes that I can't run more than 1/8 of a mile.
Soon to be a 1-legged 800-pound fat guy.
I actually went to the foot doctor to find out what was wrong with it. I wasn't happy with the doctor's response. All he did was scribble on a piece of paper and slid it to me across the table as if he were making an offer I couldn't refuse. It said, "Buy new shoes". It had instructions on where to go - "Shoe Store". When I tried to explain that it may be something more than my shoes being old and could be something serious he just started flapping his quack wings and made hissing noises at me.
- I think it's fun to look up the origin of calling a doctor a "quack".
