    Fuck age. It's just a number. When I dream about my future, I dream about the old lady popping pills in Studio 54.

    The nutty thing about 50 is when you wake up the next morn you are closer to 80 than 20, even though you know you're still 17.

    Didnt think 40 as a milestone. Was still playing ball and drinking copious amounts of alcohol just like I was when I was in my 20's & 30's. the big one was when I hit 50 and I found that I couldn't drink all night anymore and still function the next day. Didn't like the fact is was getting AARP mailers either Now at 58 i still feel young think young , but when I act young boy do I pay for it the next couple of days.

    For a long time the main cage manager at Bellagio was a Mormon guy. I was talking to him once and he said that casinos actually still like to hire Mormons into these positions, both because there is a perception that Mormons are more honest, and they generally don't drink, gamble, or do drugs, and therefore tend to not find themselves in the kinds of desperate circumstances that tempt employees to steal.

    He didn't seem to grasp the irony that he was participating in something his religion classifies as a sin lol. But the Marriott family is a prominent Mormon family, and they directly make enormous sums of money from alcohol sales, along with at least indirectly benefitting from adultery and prostitution. So apparently these beliefs about right and wrong are quite flexible.

    As far as age, I'll be 40 in a few years and it bothers me. It's the beginning of the end. Quality of life starts diminishing pretty fast health-wise after 60, so hitting 40 means you've got maybe 20 good years left if you're lucky (which I am not).

    I've had a couple of injuries from running and general sports, I already feel old and I'm south of 40.

    You're not old until the doctor has to put his finger in your butt.
