the going back home TIME WARP
ok. it has officially occurred to me that i am old or the politically correct "NOT YOUNG". as in, I still kinda think like a 16 year old thus I thought I was actually still 16. old enough to have a license, but not yet ready to vote. So on my trip up north to EL, we hit the local 99 where obesity is just one appetizer away. It was there that I realized I was OLD. In comes a group of 5 high school girls and I'm looking at them, in my mind I am wondering if I "KNOW" any of them. like they might be in my physics class or something. um hello. im not 16 and i am probably older than their mothers. yet, here i sit thinking they are my contemporaries. then in walks an old geezer with his 35ish son. the son has salt and pepper hair peeking out of his red sox hat. it was then that i realized that HE WAS MORE LIKELY SOMEONE I WOULD KNOW. and man, he was old looking. i literally freaked out. and had to ask my brother how old i looked. he confirmed, i was not 16 anymore. man, pass the nachos - life is over. kids i recognized at local pizza joint: 0, gray speckled haired folks i recognized: 3.
