Sunday, its official

PraiseCaster · September 22nd, 2006, 09:33 PM

I will be middle aged: I'm turning 45.

I told someone the other day that I cant deny it any longer, I'm middle aged. Any older, and I'll just be , .....old. They said, "OH, your still a young man! Your not middle-aged!" To that I replied, Really? How many 90 +, and 100 year olds do you know? Didnt have a come back............

So its all downhill from here! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW!

Well, at least I'm still young at heart, I just have a few gray hairs to go with it!

TheViking · September 22nd, 2006, 09:43 PM

yay congrats man, you're one third on the way to becomming a 135 years old.

The Bone2 · September 22nd, 2006, 10:38 PM

There is one more official announcement for Sunday. The Raiders will not lose.

getbent · September 22nd, 2006, 10:52 PM

45 is middle aged? what? are you planning to live to 90? I think 37 is middle aged for a white male in the western world....

tonytrout · September 22nd, 2006, 11:07 PM

Well my wife is a healthy little woman, and I just know she is gonna make it into her nineties, and I also know there is no way she is going to let me get a repreave from her abuses, so dying is out of the question.

But yeah, I beleive exact middle age is about 37 to 40 years of age. 45 on the high end. Everything after that, its a death watch............ Uh, I apologize to all you old farts out there that took offense too that.

PraiseCaster · September 23rd, 2006, 02:02 AM

Well thank you all for the birthday wishes.

And trag, I didnt realize you were soooooooooo old.

mojocasterman · September 23rd, 2006, 02:07 AM

I;m 10 years younger than you. So there.

Oh yeah, and happy B-day

maestrovert · September 23rd, 2006, 02:25 AM

DougieLove · September 23rd, 2006, 02:27 AM

I'll pick the Bye over the Raiders by 7.

Happy Birthday.

fenderix · September 23rd, 2006, 09:42 AM

Middleaged or not - I hope you feel fine!

reverbbb · September 23rd, 2006, 09:52 AM

You and I have more in common than I originally realized. I turn 48 on Sept 25th (happens to be exactly 9 months to the day after Christmas, if you catch my drift). There are a LOT of late September birthdays. I must say, that nearly all of them that I have met are really nice folks too.

Happy B-day!!

Ptrallan01 · September 23rd, 2006, 09:55 AM

you young whippersnapper. Welcome to the flock of geezerdom.

Have you:

discovered the volume knob turns to the left?

run through the dial of your radio presets and discovered everything is oldies, talk radio or ccm?

discovered there is only 1 half of 1 thing on the list of things you said you would never say to your kids left to say before it is completely empty?

realized that there are 3 years left until you've been out of high school for 30 years?

recognized how smart your parents/aunts/uncles/grandparents were?

realized that life not only begins at 40 but the best is yet to come?

Have a great time enjoying these "golden" years!!1

Your brother

Peter

getbent · September 25th, 2006, 02:09 AM

45 is good! 33 1/3 was good! but 78.... 78's had jimmie rodgers and billie holiday... you have a lot to look forward to! Happy Birthday!

Crotalus Atrox · September 25th, 2006, 02:13 AM

Feliz Cumpleanos. I got ya beat by five years. Just remember, you're not old as long as you're still childish. When I was in my thirties, my high school-aged cousin told me that he had always liked me because I was an adult but I didn't act like one. That's the spirit!

crawdad · September 25th, 2006, 02:54 AM

Age means nothing (unless you are trying to get a rock deal on a major label). I'm 55 and I am playing better than ever, with more passion and more intensity than ever before. Things are coming together musically like never before and its a great trip. Never ever let age be a consideration. Live life with your deepest passions and if anybody tries to tell you to "act your age", realize its not you who has the hang up on a number. Enjoy your life. Splurge on your ideas and musical energy. 45 is just the beginning of a wonderful and meaningful time in life.

Most of all, NEVER use age as a crutch to justify lower standards. The peak of your life "officially" starts today. Happy birthday!

PraiseCaster · September 25th, 2006, 04:44 AM

SO I went to church and played, and it was one of those days where I was just on. It was great.

Then I get home, and my family scrimped together and got me a 100 dollar GC gift card (monies tight at the PraiseCaster household, so I know they really scrimped!).

But I was slightly bummed: the Carvin GT12 speaker in my newly supersized Pignose G40V, had way too much break up, and it was flabby, and sloppy sounding. Major bummage. But I remembered that I have an EV12, but my youngest son has been using it, but I reminded him it is mine, so we took it out of his cab, and into my G40V. That is the exact speaker I was looking for! Hard to get it to break up, so I can get overdriven clean tones. When I kick my TS808 on, its pure magic! I love this speaker. I guess I ignored it, cause I thought it was a triple rectifier speaker. Obviously I was mistaken!

The big plus is, my son loves the Carvin GT12. So everyone is happy!
