I was taking a family of 5 on a tour through the Wasatch and had my Block Rocker booming. One of the kids that just graduated high school asked me who I was listening to because he really liked it. So I told him, and his response was "Who's Blink 182?"..

Shit, I'm old..

When you start needing your weekends to recover from the work week instead of using the work week to recover from weekend.

Blink was popular / played in the mainstream up to about 2005. That's only 10 years ago... That means he was 8 when they were on the radio. He should know Blink.

More like you have to hit the gym or work hard everyday just so you don't get a beer gut because your metabolism just took a shit.

Also grey hairs are a thing. Fuck my early greys.

What's weird is that there are teens I work with who were born after 9/11, which has basically been the defining event of the 2000's.

do you guys remember when Yeezy performed with Paul McCartney and the whole twittersphere was like "who is this old dude with Kanye?". I hate to be all "this generation is doomed", but holy fuck that's bad if you cant recognize a guy like that. Even today, Sir Paul is the type of dude where everything stops as soon as he walks into a room and its all eyes on him.

RusticlesWhen you start needing your weekends to recover from the work week instead of using the work week to recover from weekend.


When you're in bed by 10PM on a Friday because the work week has you exhausted.
