Allrighty so I taped up my stupid toe(Which is throbing right now) And took out a bunch of the youth group kids I work with and played paintball at a local church today. Played about 2-3 hours and Im beat, I hurt, got bumps and bruises and cant walk again.......Every one else.....not even fazed. :^ Kids had a blast.....i had a blast and thats what counts.....There was a couple of younger adults there playing and man I sure remember what its like to be able to to do things that fast and that well without breaking a sweat. :/ Well Im playing in one of the biggest Scnerario games in this area at the end of the month and I guess I need to get into a little better shape.....And let my toe heal.

Yep I know the feeling. At 32 I dread the thought of 64. Double the hurts and aches will kill me.

Hmmmmm. What is getting old?

I watched Evander Holyfield box last night (age 44).

He looked and performed every bit as well as he did 20 years ago. Third round KO.

If yer too old to fish then you ought to just go ahead and die, make room for others.
If not quit whining, i recently observed a gentleman learning to water ski, by the look of him he must have been close to eighty years old.

Re: Im getting old.

Well fishing and paintball are two different sports.......I dont water ski but Im guessing once again two different sports......How about this my body is starting to feel the things I do with much more sesitivity. Being that I was playing a game Im guessing nope mind hasnrt grown up yet let alone got old. Aches and pains? didnt have them 5 yrs ago.........But I sure am feeling them today.

Yea, I remember 56, 1956 that is. Top songs of that year were:
1. Hound Dog - Elvis Presley
2. Long Tall Sally - Little Richard
3. Blue Suede Shoes - Carl Perkins
4. Don't Be Cruel - Elvis Presley
5. Be-Bop-A-Lula - Gene Vincent & the Bluecaps
6. Roll Over Beethoven - Chuck Berry
7. In The Still Of The Nite - Five Satins
8. Blueberry Hill - Fats Domino
9. Please, Please, Please - James Brown & the Famous Flames
10. I Walk The Line - Johnny Cash and the Tennessee Two

Bring back memories? Can you still hear them in your mind's ear?
