Zaad Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Nice read I got in my mail today: The majority of students in universities today were born in 1983....They are called "youth". They have never heard of "We are the World, We are the Children..." And the "Uptown Girl" they know is by Westlife not Billy Joel. For them, there has always been only one Germany and one Vietnam. They do not know about the Soviet Union, Cold War, and Perestroika. AIDS has existed since they were born. CD's have existed since they were born. Michael Jackson is already whitened. John Travolta is always round in shape and they can't imagine how this fat guy could be a god of dance. They believe that Charlie's Angels and Mission Impossible are just new films out last year. They can never imagine life before computers (think Atari). They've never heard of Pac-Man or Space Invaders. They can't believe a black and white television ever existed and don't even know how to switch on a TV without a remote control. And they will never understand how we could leave the house without a mobile phone. Let's check if we're getting old... 1. You understand what was written above and you smile. 2. You need to sleep more, usually until the afternoon, and especially after a night out. 3. Your friends are getting married / having babies. 4. You are always surprised to see small children playing comfortably with computers. 5. When you see teenagers with mobile phones, you shake your head. 6. You've developed more and more feelings about your work. It's now your life. 7. You spend less and less time talking on phone with your friends daily. 8. You meet your friends from time to time, talking about the good old days, repeating again and again all funny stories you have experienced together. 9. Nightclubs give you a headache - you'd much rather find a nice bar where you can sit and talk. Yes my friend, you're getting old ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bkkbound04 Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Hmmm... yes for sure I am old but I don't miss being young... I never went to BKK when I was young..

Old Hippie Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 As I sit and recall the good old days, I seem to recall there was little good about them. No steady job, no real salary to speak of, women wanted to parts of me because of no job, or poor salary...life hasn't changed much since then. Except now my friends are married, and not allowed to associate with me because their wives are afraid I will corupt them. Old? no, older yes! But life may just be getting good, as the older I get, the less I care! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the story in 'The Body' by Hanif Kureshi. Good read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaad Posted December 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 life hasn't changed much since then. I'm afraid I'm going to say the same when I'm double my age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
