Getting OLD Sucks!
Posted by TCombs in 
You don’t realize how old you are, until you quit doing something. Then a few years later you try to do it again. Like your mind is sayin’ “No problem, I got this”, but your body is saying “Nah mah fucka, you ain’t got this”.
Like this weekend I played in a softball tournament for the first time in nearly 5 yrs. Occasionally lacing up the cleats to go play with friends, but nothing serious. So, somewhere in the 3rd game on a blistering hot mid-west July day my hamstrings & quads just turned to chewed up meat and I find myself in a position where I can barely fucking walk, much less run. In the final game, playing against some of my old homies and my bat is coming to life. Hit a couple shots, but all I hear is my team yelling “Ruuuuunnn Doocccc, Ruuunnnn”. Like I’m Forrest Gump or something, waiting for the fucking braces to fall off my legs, or the fridge to fall off my back.
When I got home, I crawled into the house. Somehow turned the water on to take a cold shower, because I was fried like bacon on a sunday morning. By the time I sat on the couch all I could think about was, “Where the fuck have the years gone?”.
Laugh now all you young bitches, before you know it you’ll be the old man on the field. And when you get there just remember what Doc told ya, “Getting Old Sucks!”.
