I used to flippantly joke/remark every year on my birthday that turning x-age didn't feel any different than being the previous age.
Today, I turned 49. I don't physically feel any older than my late-30s, nor do I particularly look like I'm 49. Fuck, though, I'm really feeling the passage of time.
Forty. Fucking. Nine. Where did it all go?

Just noticed when I get out of the car, if I've been driving for half an hour or more and I slightly stiffen up...when I walk it's not so much my legs doing the moving...I almost walk by moving my hips and it must look like a bit of a waddle...then I remembered my mother used to do that and she looked like an old lady when she did it.
Fark me...horrific. Now make every effort to use my legs...not my hips.

I don't want to compile and put together an app from Github and having to type code and figure out parameters and shit. Just make an easy peasy installation/ app please.

Listening to 90s rock/grunge/pop bands... so pure. just talent and a recording studio.
2022s it's a laptop, and auto tuned weird sounding voice that almost sounds like traditional arabic singing, along with disjointed beats and a sense of danger, like you're going to be immediately knifed.
There's no day dreaming element to it, it's all in your face. You can get lost in 90s music more, perhaps it's a comment on our attention span, how internet and iPhone has eroded those boring sunday afternoons where you were pretty isolated in your teenage bedroom, with only a CD to occupy your thoughts.

- The thing about music today, is that someone, somewhere is making what you want. You have to find it and not ever depend on mainstream outlets for music.CyBrainX

I memba my [very] German housemate (a mature student) complaining that "ALL MUSIC THESE DAYS IS SHIT" when we were in Uni, back in about '98 or so, when we finally managed to drag him out clubbing, to the gay club Rockshots! that had non-Gay nights each week and was generally fucking banging. He spent his time there that night with bits of tissue jammed deep into his ears.Turns out he was into sado-masochism, which we accidentally found out a few months before the end of the year, after which he was moving away. They were an awkward few months... .
Anyway, suffice to say that I thought his opinion was a bit... daft. There's something about people who couch their opinions in absolute terms. In my experience, it usually implies they're quite closed off to lots of things.

I'm forgetting to zip up my fly waaaaaay more often.
(Weirdly, when I wear button fly jeans, I rarely forget to do them up.)
