Signs you are getting older...

[YB*]

When you are watching the news and you are seeing numerous professionals, in different fields, being interviewed or making contributions (some you may know), and you are wondering - you mean 'xxx bank' nowadays picks such young guys for top management. kumbe wewe ndio mzee

A number of your campus buddies or acquintances, ran in the last general elections and were being touted as youthful elders.

I tell you,its facked up man.It took more than 18 years to become a young adult,but it takes less than ten years to grow old.

The worst is when all you friends are marrying or planning to marry.It hits you, you will not be hanging out with them no more.

Sorry I forgot a few more:

(1) Your car's aged, too.

(2) If all new music is NOISE...

(3) More hair in your nose (or ears) than your head.

(4) Colds seem to last longer and the muscles get tired faster.

(5) When your nuts hit the water while you are taking a poop..

(6) My friends are becoming fathers and mothers... one by one...

(7) When you start growing hair where you don't want it and start losing it where you do want it.

(8) When you get a muscle pain in your chest you think for a split-second that this might be THE ONE.

(9) For me I think the biggest sign I'm getting older is that I now drive the speed limit, for the most part, and I stop on yellow lights. It's weird.

(10) When you have 5 pairs of reading glasses because you can't keep up with just one pair and can't read sh1t without them.

One of my attorneys has a handful of reading glasses on her conference room table for those of her clients who have forgotten theirs and might want to actually read the contracts they are signing. I've also seen them at many restaurants lately.

Add more if you have any.....

11. When you go for tizy at your rugby club and realise you are even older than the captain.
Man, it happened to me lately. Can't hang out with my team mates anymore, the bald-headed sponsors and team mangers are better company.

12. or worse, when you go to the RFUEA to watch a rugby match and you spend the whole game on the stands with your peers complaining about how rugby standards have 'gone down' these days or how you were kings on the pitch back then.

13. When you visit your old high school and 3-quarters of the teachers are strangers.

14. When you can't play competitive sports anymore because the rules have changed too many times you can't keep up.

15. The scariest one: When your father actually seeks your advice on something or you mom won't get into any new business venture before consulting you. Man, this just gives me stress.

I know am old coz:

a) The shopkeeper greets me as mzee, the matatu touts simply call me mzae or sonko.

b) I've outgrown loud noisy music and have taken a liking to jazz and latino ngomas

c) I can't stand pilsners any more. I'd rather gin and vodka or martinis

d) My nephews and nieces are clearing high school

e) I actually follow business/ financial news. I can also watch CNN for 2 hours straight.

f) I find myself including ginger powder, soy sauce, soup powder, air freshners and fruits to my supermarket shopping list.

b) I've outgrown loud noisy music and have taken a liking to jazz and latino ngomasnoisy music is for when i just wanna party like there's no tomorrow. But for meeting with buddies, want to talk, i prefer the quiet piped music when u can actually have a discussion. The loud music also serves when with a blonde who cannot hold a conversation but is beautiful enough! the loud music masks the silence as you nod to the music and dance away

Hey Tact...even if wifey does the shopping, it fikas a point when you can actually constructively help her out with the list.
