June 11: Kids Half My Age [public]

[worldonitsaxl]

They think they run the place. Damn, I was rich and famous and had it made before you were born. I've been there, done that, and went to the giftshop for every damn thing you could possibly think of. I'm not nostalgic, but when us 'old' guys-- forty-five is old now, what the fuck is up with that-- when we tell you what we've been through, we're not

Hey now. The twenty-pluses aint all that bad. I'm rather fond of myself, really.

And, regarding that edit - fuck, so do I.

[worldonitsaxl]

You keep trying on that whole 'convincing everyone you're twenty-plus' thing. I'll call you when it starts working.

And obviously, if you love my attitude, I'm going something wrong and it's not bad enough.

[way_ftw]

Sounds to me like someone might be going through a little bit of a mid-life crisis.

[worldonitsaxl]

I spend my free time getting wasted and sleeping with kids half my age. My entire life is a mid-life crisis.

But you learn to deal with it, or so I've been told.

ooc:|| sorry about that. *headdesk* I may , one day, learn to log in properly. ||

I may be the Alpha Goth, but you are without a doubt Rockstar Supreme.

We so need to sit down and have a beer. The more I read your journal the more I want to meet you.

[worldonitsaxl]

Without ever recording an album? I'm touched. Though I'm certainly always up for a beer. I'll tell you what, I'll even pay; might as well start spending some of this green stuff, sometime. Otherwise I might have to burn it to keep it out of the relatives' greedy little hands.

[trentsinreznor]

Its the attitude man. You've got more attitide than most of the stars that walk through the lobby everyday.

45 is old to me, you're right. Sorry. But my boyfriend is 26, now, (possibly 25!), and I call him old.

[worldonitsaxl]

Well, of course it is. I remember 26 and thinking I would overdose or car crash or just plain die before I ever reached any age vaguely resembling 45. But along the way as everyone is dying in droves around you, you begin to realize that maybe there's something to this growing old bullshit after all.

Trust me. If the heroin doesn't get you, you'll be like me one day. Now isn't that something to look forward to.

[standstillsmile]

I... hate heroin. So.. thanks, I guess!

[misterleetoyou]

Fuck man, we're in the same boat I guess.

Though forty-four is doin' pretty well for me considering I'm nailing kids half my age and they love it.

[worldonitsaxl]

I beat you by one year, and I think I'm still childish enough to gloat.

Though I must agree, the good thing about getting old is you know more about sex than any of these young kids... and they always demand you prove it. ;)

[misterleetoyou]

Yeah, well, whatever. These kids seem to have a thing for older dudes.

Of course, and then they never want to leave.
