Man, I sure am getting old. I’ve got a mountain bike that is sixteen years old out in my garage and I listen to music that was recorded in 1985.
I wouldn’t change it if I could.
My twenty year high school reunion is slated for next spring. Not that I’ve received an invitation, but I can’t imagine reason why I’d fucking bother to attend. I’ve spent the last twenty years trying to forget those bastards, not keep in touch with any of them.
I’ll see them all in hell soon enough.

I am old.

I had a 23 year old mountain bike out in the garage until some dickless tweaker boosted it, I listen to music that was recorded in 1971, and I’m pretty sure that if I could change it and be as “old” as you, I would.

Agreed. If you’re not in contact with any of ‘em now, why bother?
How are the family jewels feeling today?

Got ya by 6 years. 25th HS party was last summer. I blew it off the same way I blew off HS.
So quit bitching youngster and go for a ride.

Wait. I take that back.
1985 Music Videos
Music in 85 sucked. Good lord there is nothing there even remotely decent.
Ok. Go shoot yourself now. It’s all over for you.

I hear ya.
I was in town the day of my 10th. Drove out of town that afternoon. Never bothered to find out if they had a 20th. It was last year.
It’s just a 4-year part of my life. Certainly nothing to get wrapped up about.
Now go rub your balls.

1985 was a very good year for music,
Replacements, Tim,
Husker Du, New Day Rising and Flip Your Wig,
Minutemen, Project Mersh and Three way tie [for last]
The Pogues, Rum Sodomy and the Lash
Circle Jerks Wonderful
These are things I still listen to on a regular basis

YOU’RE old?!? Shit I’ve got a rusty ten speed in the barn…yes, I have a barn…that was made in the Sixties and listen to music recorded in the seventies. I wouldn’t change a thing either, Jon. Except for some of the aches and pains maybe. Fuck it, would I go back and change my life so I wouldn’t be doing those things that cause the aches and pains now? Hell No. Your life is your life. If it weren’t so New Agey I’d say, “Own it” but it suffices to say, It’s My Life, and damn, ain’t it nice.

Ha! Good timing as I blew off my twentieth just last night. I ran into one of my classmates about a month ago and he looked hurt when I told him I “probably wouldn’t make it.” What couldn’t be more grand than talking about the big game from the pleistocene era.

“Who’s Got the 10 1/2″ is STILL in heavy rotation, as are the Circle Jerks, D.I. and 7 seconds.
My 20th rolls up next year and I would be REALLY surprised if anyone could track down my ass. Not that I would go in the first place.

If your old, then I’m Methusela! My 25th HS reunion was last spring, and the bike I rade almost every day was made in 1983 and still has the original seat!
