You Know You are Getting Old When
Here are some sure signs that you are getting old (even though you are only in your 30’s):
1. You think MTV is utterly ridiculous and despite MTV’s popularity, you are probably right. Case in point: For some reason, I stopped on the MTV channel and came across a show where some guy got his “doo-dads” waxed. He only did this because the rest of the group told him that he needed to “man up”. HUH????
2. You realize that there are 10 year old kids that know way more about computers than you do and you are actually in the IT field (and maybe even have a computer science degree).
3. You remember when cell phones were the size of bricks.
4. You still remember when Dave Winfield got paid the astronomical sum of $1 million/yr to play baseball.
5. You remember golf before there was Tiger. Back then, the tour was dominated by a shark.
6. Speaking of golf, you used to have woods that were actually made of wood!
7. There was a time when Sally Struthers was actually skinny (and even a little attractive).
8. 2 words: Farrah Fawcett!
9. You can remember when Nissan was “Datsun”. (…some of you probably are like “WHAT???”)
10. It used to be okay to smoke at work (because your dad actually had an ashtray on his desk at work and USED it).
11. You remember that the Brady Bunch actually had more than just re-runs.
12. There once was a time when Cal Ripken was just a rookie and the Orioles were a good team.
13. You could get a pack of baseball cards for $.25.
14. You can remember when Ron Jaworski actually was a manly football player. (Have you seen him on Monday Night Football?? …dang, how did he play football?)
15. You can remember when Arnold was Conan the Barbarian and thought to yourself, “Man.. this is terrible; this guy will never make it in film.”
16. Billy Crystal played a gay guy on Soap and you thought the show sucked.
17. You remember when Oprah was just a reporter and she would never have talked about her Vajayjay.
18. There actually used to be a primary airlines called “Eastern Airlines.” Where in the heck did they go?
19. Polaroid camera’s were simply amazing!
20. You owned a computer that had no hard drives and it was still bad-ass…
