You know you look old when...

You ask a 19-year old musician what kind of music he plays, and he responds, "Nothing you would like." :sigh:
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.
... when an attractive young lady you come across, somewhere in the city center, stops by and addresses you as "Excuse me, Uncle" *. * Happened to me about 6-7 years ago. By that count, I'm too old now.

That doesn't make you old, it makes him an a-hole :) Ultimately there's only one person who can decide if you like a certain style of music and that's you. I've been at the biggest metal festival in Europe and I've witnessed an 80+ or so grandpa in leather jacket walking the festival terrain with his walking rack :laugh: The 19-year old musician could've had a new fan and instead of posting about being old you could be posting about his fantastic music right now, which potentially could've make him even more fans :) Or perhaps he knew he sucked :laugh:

That's nothing. About 6 years ago, I got on the bus and a woman soldier gave up her seat for me!* * I was only 44 at the time, but I must have looked terrible that day.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

still coding on the native C libraries.
I do and prefer them over the STL (I also use VS6, which is not very compatible with STL. Not my choice.) as I know their reliability or lack of so and their working and logic. They are simple and allow me to easily use their features without having to modify much in my code.

:) My vanity would like to believe that, but honesty and integrity force me to say otherwise. :sigh:

I was also 43-44 then. Now, nearing 50.

}Indeed. I'm pissed that I won't be in Germany these coming months. I wanted to catch at least a few of the Crüxshadows shows. No one in the band, at least, minds my age. :p

Are you sure he was a musician? It could be:
- They can't play at all, so "nothing you'd like" would be accurate
- They play so badly that it should have been "nothing that anybody likes"
- Nobody actually likes what he plays, but it's clever so people pretend to like it; a sort of "Emperor's New Clothes" effect (and he's actually honest about it)
- He is mistaken and it's possible you would like it
- He plays something that's so weird that only an obvious visual minority would like it
Come to think of it, that last point does cover young trend followers. In any case, he's a jerk!
Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.

A few shows even? Wow, you must really like the Crüxshadows... I know their song Deception (and like it quite a bit) and that's where my Crüxshadows knowledge ends :) But there's some good darkwave out there :thumbsup:

Yesterday my wife stopped by a mexicanish fast food place to grab dinner. On the audio system was playing "Don't stop believing" by Journey and the 20 some girl in front of my 53 year old wife said to the teen behind the counter, "Hey, cool music" to wit the kid said "yeah", which is a lot for a teen boy. Anyway , all is not lost. .... And it's all mixed up too btw.

How could a 20 something have not heard that song umpteen times? Well, that just shows the venue a 20 something listens to isn't one I do. Of course, I grew up in an age when these songs were just hitting the charts and I don't know of any stations that are playing songs that are just topping the charts now. That's even in a strange area where I don't know the stations. They're either playing this type of music or "classical". Maybe I'm switching channels because they are playing just noise and I don't register it?? I remember when I was a teen, what I was listening to was just noise, corrupting "our" young. Do we have people now who are introducing a new song every week and I don't know it because it's just noise?
