    I went antiquing and there were all these TPM toys. Toys from my adolescence are not antiques!! [face_frustrated]


    Update: now thinking about it, the fact I went antiquing makes me feel old. :_|

    Ha that reminds me of how until like a few months ago you could still see the lettering of a blockbuster. You know how if you remove a sign it will leave a “shadow” of the sign itself. That was left by the old blockbuster. And it looks like someone finally covered it up.

    I suppose that's a way of identifying how you know you feel old: when you feel young in the morning - until you try to get out of bed :p

    Hm. @Lordban brought up getting out of bed.

    I feel awake. And repaired, bodily. There's a certain spike of energy present... that left after childhood. Now it's there again. On an instinctive level.

    ...when you realize more time has passed from when you got the official ANH 20th Anniversary magazine than between the mag and the actual movie [face_plain]

    My dad took me to see the Special Editions in 1997.

    20 years versus... damn near 25.

    Was spring cleaning a few weeks ago and found my college boxes, which I have't dug thru in 20 years, with these babies in there. Brought back memories of going to Toys R Us at midnight with all my SW buds.

    You know humanity feels old when you realize ancient Sumer's definition of the cubit is based on a precise calculation of the Earth's circonference established 44 centuries ago...

    When you realize there really us no future or hope for this country or this world.

    Life simply sucks and then you die painfully and alone.

    Counterpoint: when your hope for the betterment of man is bright but you know it will take centuries before the work you participate in will come to fruition.

    Something that may not precisely "make me feel old", but which DOES give me a sense of perspective, is when I think of something, realize how many years ago it was released, or I first encountered it, and then shift the time periods. For example, I just saw an article about a radio station changing formats, and someone noted that if you thought in 1970 or 1980 that "oldies" were from the 1950s, the "oldies" today would arguably be from the 1990s or 2000s. Similarly, STAR WARS ANH was released in 1977, which is about 45 years ago. So ANH is as far in the rear view mirror today as a 1932 movie was in the year ANH was released. Yikes.
