Chuck versus the Cougars

[monk222]

On “Chuck”, season 2, episode 4, “Chuck versus the Cougars”, they flash back to Sarah’s high school years. Know when that was? That’s right: 1998! A good fifteen years after my own high-school graduation.

I know I should be over the shock that I am old, and that the hot and cool people of today are of another generation and another world. But it takes me a long time for realities to sink in so as not to be even considered noteworthy. A hit like this will obviously still knock me back, and it still stings a little. My youth has passed away and is simply gone, and nothing happened in it, absolutely nothing and no one.

i know how you feel, monk. i'm feeling the same way. i'm a volunteer coordinator at a Center that i volunteer at and the kids applying are soooo young and i can talk and relate with them... only they were born in 1990! i have to remind myself not to look! ha! and then i'm "gently" reminded of my age each time i get up from the chair... bad back and knees already. what a bummer - getting old.

It's just as well that I am not up and about, because I cannot help looking, and I am sure it looks a lot worse from a man. On top of my back and knees, I also have dimming eyes. I would like to just cycle through my twenties and thirties again and again.
