    Getting old scares the shit out of me
    life really is a fvckin downward spiral if you think about it...instead of life starting off slow and ending with a big climax, its actually the complete opposite...

    you start off young and vibrant, capable of doing anything in the world...you are in your sexual, athletic, and mental primes and you feel like you are invincible...

    but it all goes down hill from then on...what happens when your fvckin 40 and cant hardly do half the shit you used to do? you just sit on your couch, watch sports, and get older and older. then what about when your 60? 70? 80? etc.

    i feel bad for my dad, he just turned 50 and judging by the way hes been talking in recent years i think he kinda feels this way. He realizes his life is begining to come to an end and that hes getting older and older.. i kinda feel bad for him because I remember how active and vibrant he was, now he just says everything he does is for us, his children..he doesnt have anything else to live for.

    in a few years he'll be 60+...then what does he have to look forward to? then in a few years after that when hes pushing 70, what does he look forward to then? eventually it gets to the point where you are like 70+ and you are just counting down the days until you die...shit is terrible

    there is no big bang at the end of life, no climax, no "reunion" party where everyone you ever met in your life shows up for one last hoorah...no, nothing like that at all...you just fvcking become old, withered, and rot away like an old peice of shit...eventually you find yourself in a fvcking rascal scooter (if you are fancy) and the highlight of your day is prune juice time. i mean what the fvck is there to look forward too? Your family wont want to spend time with you and you just become a nuisance..and if your white they'll probably put you in a nursing home to rot. At that point its like you are counting down the days to die and it just seems really fvckin depressing. I seriously hope i never have to experience those terrible years.

    i guess if you are a religious and believe in heaven, its more soothing...but if you are a sane person and dont believe in that bullshit, and realize that when you die you will simply lose all consciousness and get stuffed in the dirt, and that anything you accomplished during life wont mean anything in the end, then its fvckin depressing.

    what the fvck, how do you old people cope with this shit? right now im 25 and i feel like my best years are behind me...I remember i would feel happy when there was a poll or study and i was always in the 18-24 yr old group..now im in the 25-32 group and it seems like its all downhill from here.

    My favorite line "if you are a sane person...."

    Bill....no offense, but if you feel as if your best years are behind you at 25.........you need a team of shrinks.

    Most 25 year olds still have college loans, little cash, they rent or live with their parents.

    That is a shitty existance.

    I am 41 and I wouldn't give up my toys/properties/assets to go back and be 25 again. No way, no how. I worked too damn hard from 25-35 to ever want to go back to those years again.

    I am curious---- what do you do for a living?

    Yesterday you were upset at the rash of women walking the planet who had feces rubbed in their faces, today your life is over at 25. Not a good trend you have going here.

      You make a few points (albeit morbid) but you're dead wrong about being past your prime when you're 25.

      My prime as far as having energy and ambition was 28.


      No question my energy levels began to drop when I hit 35. Hit me like a brick.

      You may not believe this bit sexually Ive never been better. My libido is enormous (no pun lolz) and Im better in bed now than I was when I was 24.

      The woman I sleep with now can't believe the stamina I have and they're convinced I'm taking Viagra.

      Bill, you need a good fvck or Wellbutrin ASAP. You're in a dark, negative place kid.

      Or you're just fvckin with all of us.

          Yep it sucks. I am now closer to 50 than 40. I am still in great shape and both my parents are alive which I take to mean I should have quite a few years still.

          But this whole "passage of time" thing pisses me off. Sometimes I think about it and I can't believe how old I am.

          I have discussed it from a few different angles on the forum at different times.

          Obviously it is all about attitude and the thing to do is remain positive and live in the day and all that. Might as well accept it and make the best of it. I do that. But I would be lying if I said I never thought about how fast the time is passing and said, "FUK!"

            Your best days are behind you? Which ones were those?

            The ones where you sandpapered the acne off your face?
            The ones where you paid a girl to hang out with you who then flipped out when you tried to make a move?
            The times you begged people to fund your accounts because you were out of money?
            The time you wanted to know how to cheat poker?
            The time you were asking the forum about pills because you had no idea how to take them to get high?
            The numerous times you got turned down by women in favor of your friends?
            The time you asked the forum for a good lie so you could steal $500 from your parents?
            The times you considered suicide?
            The time you made a deal with a Mexican drug gang?

            I'm quite curious as to how your life can go downhill from here. Please explain.

You believe in it, you are loyal to it, would defend it, and yet have no proof of it, other than that, at one point or another, you chose to believe in it. Self-hypnosis. What if there were a snapping of fingers that broke the hypnosis?

              That is an SBR top 10 response hall of fame moment.

              Well played Stale.
