Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking forward to being really old, I'm just thinking how cool it will be to be that rare edgy and hip old person.

I'm already extremely immature so it shouldn't be hard to delay my oldness, and I've done a GREAT job so far of staying a lot 'younger' than everyone else my age. I've got at least a good 10-15 years on people my own age. Plus, this is really important to me, it's something I think about and am conscious of and am already working on.

Lots of people just wake up old one day and give up. They go to the beauty salon and cut off all their hair and get a stupid perm, stop watching TV and listening to new music, and start doing typical old people stuff. Not me!!

I've seen many things change and instead of shutting everything new out because I don't identify in the same way with it as a younger person would, I still take what I can from it and I still find new things I like.

There's a few old people I know and really admire because they're so atypical. Every other old person just blends in to the sea of hunchbacks and grey hair. I refuse to blend in.

is it normal to concentrate on being a cool old person?

    Fuck yeah. I'm awesome already so it will just be increased by oodles. Mothers at the park look at me like wtf because they are jealous! That's right, I'm all over that jungle gym like no body's business. In the years to come I'll strut my stuff with my locks draped over my shoulders a few times (cus im never cutting my hair) and some cannibal corpse or something blasting from whatever future portable music player their is at the time. Fuck. Yeah.

    Good for you!!! I wish more people would want to become like this in their old age. I just want to die when I reach a certain point. However, my fear of aging might change when I get to be that "old".

    Is that what you think? When I see old
    men with Nikes and 1970s shorts and cycle-sunglasses I find it bizarre. I know we are all supposed to respect everyone's sense of style but trust me, it's respectable to see people act their age. Next thing you know you'll be chasing girls 30 years younger because you still can (who can't?) but society will be laughing behind your back!

      I don't mean cool as in desperately clinging onto my youth, I just mean keeping well read, not being so cranky, and relating to new things and younger people. So many old people just give up and are so jaded, and the all wear the same damn clothes!! Then the haircuts....why??? I think it's laziness, they don't want to have to brush it so much, but then again those poodle perms cost money and take time....both of which old people don't have much left. They also seem to try to hard to fit in....the clothes, the politics, the hair, the whole thing. I don't want to be part of that. YOu should hear old people in bars, they go off on how this and that shouldn't have happened, or we screwed this up...well OK some, but most of what they're talking about is speculation on shit they have no clue about. You wouldn't believe the ignorant rants about 9/11 and Osama back then. And then some.

    Keepin ya locks , smartest thing you can do I reckon. Older ladies look so cool when they still have long hair.Why 99% of them insist on some square block mans haircut is a f'n mystery , they usually look like men by then too , it's gross , poor hubby's.

    I'd like to be like my uncle. His only 53, I know your talking older but he's one cool dude at that. The girls still love him. He reckons the worlds such a wank he's never conforming , don't blame him he's right.
    I can never work out where the line is though if there is one. Like an older just looking stupid trying to be young .

    Sometimes my daughter thinks I should act my age. I tell her, heck no. I refuse to have short, tight curly blue hair.
    She is also surprised on some of the lingo I come up with. I don't know alot of the younger talk, but I try to keep up.
    Her friends think I'm cool. Someday she will appreciate me trying to stay young. And not just curling up and waiting to die.

    Yes!

    I want to be a classy old gentleman when I get on up there in the years. I want a suit with loafers and tie, fedora hat, cane, wooden tobacco pipe with a curved stem (that I will smoke only the finest quality tobacco out of using matches), gold pocket watch, hidden pocket flask for a few nips of scotch on special occasions. I want to be that cool old guy that flirts with all the younger ladies. That person that's always happy and jolly and joking around, making people's day. That would be awesome :)

    Yeah, we're going to be cool old people O.P.!
