Old People... Mood
Wednesday, March 12, 2008 | A Sad story
I was at quizno's the other day and was in line behind an old couple.  Probably in their 80s.  The old man had a cane.  They looked cute together.   

Somedays it depresses me seeing old people like that because I think I'm not going to live that long, or I'm never going to be in a relationship like that.  It's also disheartning to see all the divorce in todays me first world.  

I guess I'm still a sucker though because growing old with somone is something I think about in life.  Wanting to be 80 years old and have that someone with me.  Spoiling grandkids to infuriate their parents.  Give them candy when no one is looking. Brag about my grandkids doing this or that.  All that good stuff grandparents do.  

I want to be one of those cute old couples that still find the time to dance, go to movies, go out to lunch, and share things.  Where have those days gone in today's world?  Am I a hopless romantic?  Maybe.  

It's sappy, I know, and probably sounds weird coming from a jerk like me.  I'll probably end up as one of those old creepy guys, wearing the leisure suit and bug sunglasses at the horse track.  And people will make fun of me because of my "old people" smell.  

When will I learn to open up and quit being so guarded?  I don't know.  Maybe never.  Just not in the mood for another broken heart.  

I'm reminded of the adam sandler song in the movie the Wedding Singer.  I wanna grow old with you.  There are several people I'd love to grow old with, but I don't think there is anyone out there that want's to grow old with me.

    It's weird that you bring that up because I'm watching it RIGHT NOW!

    Stop being a goober, put on your big boy pants and get some fishies in your bucket!
