Aging, negativity, your prime or post prime... - your thoughts?

[Feragorn]

Share your negative story. What did the nooyawkuhs* do to you?

* - after over a year in NY, I am yet to meet a person who actually has that Costanza-esque accent that tv and movies told me New Yorkers have.

They moved to DC and have started ****ting up the place.

Interestingly enough, I don't get misophonic about new york accents, only Boston accents.

You seem to imply there was a time when DC wasn't ****.

I know, I'm not happy (quelle surprise) about my reaction, but I can't seem to help it. The conditioning is too strong. Maybe it's just Brooklyn, or New York, maybe I'm just unlucky to be around basic Beckies.

That's just how you have to act in New York these days just to keep from killing yourself.

Can confirm. Am restaurant worker in New York.

And did my friends and I traumatize you so bad that you just can't bear reminders of Boston?

It's not, provided you stay off the hill and stay in the bars where my friends work.

And did my friends and I traumatize you so bad that you just can't bear reminders of Boston?

Actually I went out in Southie with my sister and some local friends and nearly jumped in front of a Red Line train to get it out of my head. The only way she survives is by running an udon shop where the only other employee is Japanese.

My dad once told me it was hard for him to accept that he's getting old, and being forced to do so by virtue of not being able to do all the things he used to do. I haven't quite hit that age mark yet, but I can feel inside me the need to cling onto my youth - wanting to prove to myself that I can still do the same things, that I'm not over the hill. I don't dwell on it, but there is a feeling of unease there when I do think about it.

I know this 5'3" guy who can bench press 120 kg.  Not the kind of thing I want to do but hey, its impressive.

Maybe some of these porn guys can keep doing it until their 70s...  grandfather stuff, totally inspiring...

The walls are closing in
Goals and dreams in a fugue
Of distant and skewed perspective
The cross is heavier and my feet sink​
