    Unfortunately I have heard of Rizz...although I am not 100% certain what it means.

    I think Swiftie is kind of common now...also unfortunately. 
    Rizz was the one I haven't heard.  Kind of dumb though as its a shortened version of the word Charisma.

    When I havent thought of an actor or musician or something from the 80s, 90s, or even around 2000... and they make an appearance (or die) and I see they are elderly now, it depresses me.

    Also, Ill watch something from my childhood and figure out everyone or 90% of the people who are in it are dead.  Its sad and makes me feel ancient.

    Time has gone too fast.  I feel like it was reasonable from 1978-2001.  But since 2001 it has taken off like a jet and it makes me dizzy.

    I'm not about to refer to myself as old.  Older... maybe.  Besides, you, the Pearl Jam community, have kept me young.  All I can say is, thanks for that!

    THIS.

    It is the worst part of getting older to me.

    Think about how loooong the school year felt when you were in 5th grade or something. 6th grade felt like a million miles away.

    Nowadays February of this year feels like a few weeks ago.

    When you're a kid you only have a limited amount of life experiences and trips around the sun so life seemed liked it was moving at such a slower pace. It was much easier to live in the moment. Nowadays February of this year feels like a few weeks ago  to me.

    At age 45, this is what I'm having a difficult time grasping. It's also one of the reasons I hate how people want to start celebrating Christmas in fucking September. Don't rush a third of my year!! Let me at least try and savor the Fall.

    Not knowing what vapes are when I find em in in my kids friends backpack. These are vapes, right?  Hopefully just tobacco??? Or better if hooked on cannabis imo?

    Fuck your old when you don't know how to use legal drugs.

    And, do I see a Pez-Dispenser? I think I do. (Do you kids know what a Pez-Dispensers are? I do and that means I'm old?-HA)

    Watching a 30 year old rerun of Seinfeld today would be equivalent to watching a 30 year old rerun of I Love Lucy in 1993.

    I'm 41, and while I might not consider myself old per say, in the past year I've had to change the font size on my phone while still having trouble reading anything, I've pulled a muscle in my back while sleeping, and once while stretching during a yawn.  Feels like symptoms of the old.

    Yoga. I have to start stretching with a purpose.  I have a friend ankle deep in 60s. He does karate weekly. Stretches. And I swear he is looking younger every time I see him. So it's also a bit of a choice for some how you want to age. I haven't decided yet.

    Ouch!

    And, it will probably take you longer to heal too at your age.

    Good luck with the rehab.

    No argument there from me!  It is possible I was dehydrated.

    Surgery was August 16th and I'm currently walking with a slight limp.  My Dr said it would be close to a year for a full recovery.
