I rather like it.getting old sucks
I rather like it.
Because I like living.I would love to hear your explanation as to why...?
It wouldn't be for me. Not because I wouldn't have been able to handle it or whatnot, but simply because it's not where I was. I learn {sometimes slowly} from the past and live in the present and try to apply the combination of both for the future. Which, by the time it arrives is the present but not long after will be the past.......Here's my take (nothing that others have not said before)...if I could take my experience/knowledge (what little I have) and my current life/economic situation that I have now...and then step back, oh...about 15-20 years...that would be great
No particular period of my life thus far has been more or less fun. All periods have had measures {by no means equal} of both ~ sometimes within the same day.No...I think in the end, maybe being young-n-stupid was more fun than getting old and beat up...but I'm still hanging in there, though some days it's hard getting up. This past year + of work around the house and the construction...has taken its toll on me. It's not easy anymore.
I saw Rush play at Wembley back in '83 and I was most unimpressed. I can't explain why. And I particularly disliked Neil's solo. In fact, that was probably the start of my disdain for drum solos although I tried to dig them for the next 20 years or more. To this day I can't stand them.AFA Rush, I could watch/listen to Neil Pert play for hours...he was a masterful technician that also played with a musical feel, and not just a beat keeper
By the time I got around to hearing Rush and Geddy's voice, I'd already heard Robert Plant ~ an important stepping stone for me on the way to learning to appreciate vocalists, particularly in heavy rock. Up until I heard him, for me, any bloke with a high pitched voice was kind of laughable because in the world of a boy growing up in 1970s England, men and high pitched voices was just not an equation that would help you pass a maths exam. I was literally shocked when I first heard Plant.....by the time I'd got to the end of "Physical Graffiti" the voice was no longer a concern. So when I heard Rush some 9 months later Geddy's voice was no big deal to me. I'd read about it being like Jon Anderson's but as I didn't listen to Yes for another 22 years, it was a moot point {I like his voice too}.I could never get past Geddy Lee's voice to listen to Rush for more than 5 minutes...Man...that voice...when singing he sounds like someone is perpetually stepping on his toes...otherwise, he is a great bass player
From the first Rush LP I ever heard back in 1980 {Permanent Waves}, I just loved Alex's guitar playing. He doesn't always get mentioned when discussions of the great guitarists come up.Alex Lifeson I can't help but like...
Because I like living.
I'm approaching 72. I certainly don't possess the physical strength and stamina that I had 30, 20, or even 10 years ago. It aggravates me that I don't but I accept it. I pace myself....physically getting old holds little enjoyment for most...
In my younger days...I would have already completed those things and moved on to something else today.

On a related note concerning your snow blower, my driveway is 80 feet long. It was only 3 years ago that I finally bought a two stage Club Cadet snowblower. It works well in spite of the fact that isn't always as easily maneuverable as you may think. It's still a workout on your arms and legs.
If my driveway was 300 feet long....I'd buy a plow to put on the front end of my truck.
Not did I.I just realized that this isn't the Snow Blower thread I started...when I posted the reply above. Anyway...didn't mean to change the direction of the OP.
Not everyone does like living. It's a curious thing but one can not like living, yet not want to die.That doesn't say why you enjoy getting older...we all like living, but I'm sure most people given a choice, would rather be on the younger side, rather than older...
