40

ad

Today is a sad day as I am now 40.

I will for the foreseeable future be lying on my stats as they will remain at 39 for at least another year or two. Should anyone ask for my stats, I will, of course, also lie.

I woke up to a particularly nasty, spiteful text message from one of my staff at work that read simply "40. Lol"

So sorry I missed this brother Catalyst! Wishing you a very Happy belated Birthday!
It's all relative brother, compared to me, you're a youngster! :)) Enjoy your youth young man!

It took me longer than that. Now I'm fine with it, but it took a while.
Regardless, congrats and embrace it! I'll take wisdom over youth (most of the time...).

walked thru that door in aug brother, just keep in mind that the majority of guys are age are bent over with a pot belly and more than likely fill 10 prescriptions a month to regulate their health. enjoy the envy the guys give and the pretty smiles from the ladies. Happy birthday Cat!

I still find it humerus that when your younger all you want to be is an adult and once you reach adulthood you wanna turn the clocks back to be younger again. It's a vicious cycle...lol.....happy birthday cat!

Happy bday cat. Three years away myself. I think I will employ my grandma's thinking, she's been 39 for like 40 years

Happy Birthday brotha! I'm about to be 39 and feel like I'm 29. 40 is the new 30. I'll be 40 when I'm 50 is how I'm looking at it.

Welcome to the club, it isn't all that bad Cat.

Man up. When I was 40 you were only 24 ;-)

Do what I do, lie about your age but, it is all wrong the way you plan on doing it. For example i'm 56 this is what happens when I do the age thing...

"I'm only 39"
"Damn, you look bad for your age, you look like you're 60"

verse.

"I'm 65"
"Damn, you look good for your age, you look like you're 60"

oh, happy birthday!

Catalyst's picture

Lmao.

Did I say 40? I meant 50. I don't look a day over 48 ;)

irongame427's picture

I feel your pain brotha, age is creeping up on me too. In 15 short years I'll also be 40 lol. Happy birthday grandpa!!! But in all seriousness age is just a number. 99% of 40 year olds are fat and out of shape. Youre 280lb monster who would put most guys in their 20s to shame. You're age might be 40 but your body is only 20.

Grandpa :0

I'm definitely not ready for that title just yet.

Does it feel different? 30 didn't feel any different but by 34 I was forgetting how old I was. People would ask and I would have to think for a second. Don't picture it getting any better.
Don't feel bad though. When I tell my kids stories from the past the first thing they say is "are they still alive?" Wtf

My daughter thinks 40 is ancient. I guess it seems that way when you're 8!

40 does feel different. I was never bothered about 30. I guess I just don't feel 40, possibly due to my immaturity ;)

Happy Birthday.... Be thankful you made it to 40 and look forward to the next 40 years

sadly I have surpassed that number 3 years ago, remember it only gets better...or thats what I keep telling myself. Happy birthday.

irongame427's picture

Everyone my age thinks it's all down hill after 21 lol. God what I would do to be 21 again.

IrishMack's picture

Honestly I would not want to be 21 again. its a lot.different now then it was 20 years ago. I would be looking to fist fight and end up getting shot since noone uses their fists anymore. 25 is a good age, in between a real man and getting your training wheels off you get to discover yourself.

ReadyToKillIt's picture

Agreed. After my dui, the alcohol education class I wen to pointed out that the part of the brain responsible for reasoning, doesn't even fully develop until about 25. I don't want to go back to being in a mans body with a childlike sense of logic. Maybe 27-28 for me. Then again I'm only 34, and that's not too bad.

Catalyst's picture

I'd agree with that, tough in your twenties trying to build up capital, buy a house etc, don't think I'd want to be that age again.

But then again, chasing anything female with a pulse had its positives.....

Am I in denial?

IrishMack's picture

If I wasn't married I would still be chasing tail so that doesn't change no.matter how old you are. The day its over for me is when I can get it up, but can't get it in.

irongame427's picture

Its a serious problem bro especially where i live. Shots fired off in the clubs and shit, all of downtown is super routy when the bars lt out and theres always gun shots and shit. I'm not racist at all, but its only the black people who do this shit. Ive never been in a fight with a white person and had them pull out a knife or gun, or anyone i know. But Ive had multiple friends stabbed fighting black people.

IrishMack's picture

I live in a very mixed race area. we have all races doing crazy shit against another. Although domestic abuse is big here, second place is black on black crime, third is drug related, and fourth is the thugs who think guns are tougher then fists. When I was in my 20's I was stabbed and whacked with pipes. When I was im my early 30's I got shot. Now I worry more for my wife then my own safety so it evens itself out.

Good damn...where you from, south Boston? Lol. Been in some shitholes but until you visit Camden, n.j. That hellhole took the place!

I have been known to frequent areas of Boston in my youth as well as good old NY City. But then again who hasn't?

Pale's picture

Obviously you haven't visited post-apocolyptic Detroit,lol

Ludwig's picture

I know a guy that bought a house there on eBay for $5000. Lol. That spoke volumes to me! No Detroit rock city for me!!! Lol
