I'm Not Old, Just Older

They say you are only as old as you feel, well I don't, I say you are only as old as the person you feel. Mainly because then it makes perfect sense to surround yourself with 18 year old beauties - HA perfectly logical. Howver, there are some benefits that come with getting older.

• When you make mistakes you can actually explain why you screwed up
• You don't have to show ID to get what you want, i.e. alcohol etc
• Sex lasts longer than 30 seconds
• Enjoyment comes in many forms from eating with friends, reading a book or curling up in front of the TV.
• It no longer involves trying to get laid as many times as possible in one night
• You can actually put forward sound reasoning to explain why you did something rather than muttering "cos I did"
• You may actually know what you want but you definitely know what you don't want
• Finding long-lost friends actually means people you haven't seen for years

Of course, there is a downside

• Running anywhere seems far too much of a chore
• Springing out of bed is not really an option any more
• Watching your fave TV programme can become "He's dead, she's dead, he's almost dead"
• Shopping for clothes actually becomes more difficult as what is "in" looks dreadful on you
• Attending funerals becomes more frequent
• Spur of the moment ideas actually require planning, where to put the kids, how to pay for it etc

However, on the whole one can't complain - let's face it no-one would hear you if you did.
