Evidence that you're getting old
Youthful as I am, I realised yesterday that I no-longer know, or care, who is #1 in the charts. Furthermore, it takes all day to get rid of a hangover and I now seem to have a profound interest in gardening. Worst is that I now use words like 'furthermore'.
What makes you think that you are getting old?

aside from my 30th birthday being 28 days away
I realized what it means to be old when I went to the Toy department at Walmart and found that just about every to from my childhood has been re-released and updated for the next generation. If seeing Strawberry Shortcake in hip hop gear wasn't bad enough, I realized that the aim of this marketing ploy was to get the parents of todays kids to buy based on nostalgia. Then it hit me, though not a parent myself, it's my generation they're targeting. Oh yeah, and all the classic rock stations playing early 90's grunge rock, that was only 10 years ago, thats not fair!
