      I am old! Is 41 old? OK, then my parents are old. And one of the things I notice my dad doing in regard to be old is- he gets to be as eccentric as he wants, because who gives a shit anymore? Anyway, this sort of bugs me and sort of makes me giggle.

      And here’s a story I read about old people that I liked- it’s funny funny funny-

      i actually have some sort of complex i think, where i feel trapped and retarded by my youth and always want to be about 20 years older than i am. i am finally starting to get some greys in my beard and my wife keeps wanting to pull them out and i say, no, i am harvesting them. also i pulled a half inch hair out of my ear that was grey. it was awesome.
