I can't wait until I get old.
I don't mean old as in grandfather old I mean older as in older. About the age of mid-twenties...should be one cool life.
Now I'll probably get alot of you older folk come on to me for saying that, you'll probably start saying how being younger was much better and you wished you could go back to it. Well, I can't wait to escape it.
Thing is, there's nothing really bad about this stage in my life. I'm 16, I've had great times so why should I want to escape that? To get older and die more quickly? Nope, I'd love to stay alive for ever.
You're probably wondering why I post this, your probably bored reading up to here. If you are, just press that X in the top right hand corner of your window. This is just a post I'm doing for me, to show how at this stage I really appreciate my future and what it holds for me. I think many of you should think about that too for yourselves and be as happy as I am.
I couldn't feel any happier...
I've just left school, I've got 2 months off or something.
In that time I hope to do alot of things with my band and share our music with everyone, that includes giving music out for free to friends and stuff. I hope everyone likes it, we certainly do.
I've only just got back into gaming from not being in to it so much. No matter what my Mum and Dad feel about me playing games I am enjoying it and really loving the future for it. When you and me are older there will be games unlike what we play to do. I'm telling you now, it will be some ride. I hope, like me, you will stay on the rollercoaster.
Soon I'll meet new people. I mean, at the moment I've only known the same people, I've seen them nearly everyday and I just wished I could meet some new. Well, this is the time when I do. I'm becoming more of an adult now, I am starting new schooling, I am going to become something and I wouldn't want it to come any sooner then it will be.
I know it's far fetched, but I can't wait to marry either and meet all the girls before it. We'll leave that for another time...:-)
So, I look at these things and it really makes me happy. What will I become when I'm older? Maybe a web designer? I hope so, I am just getting in touch with it.
What I want all you young people to do is not look down, but look up. Look to what you could achieve and try and get there, set yourself goals. You can all do it. Even if you know you can't reach those goals just think about the happiness you will have in you later lifes. Enjoy that. I am.
But when I'm old and fragile I'll think back to this, I won't take all my words back, but I won't say the same for the future.

ekkkkk so form what I've read I'm dreading the age of 30 :-D
Heh can't wait to grow old and boss about little kids, oh and drive up to London and meet fit girls ;-)
That's another thing! I WANT A CAR!

Teenage years for me are good in ways and sucky in others... Well, nevermind eh? I'm happy for now, no school for ages (just finished GCSEs and got about 2 months or something off!) and getting drunk tomorrow!
Fun times :D
Fun times :D
I still have 3 years to go before I reach 30! most of my friend seem to be in a panic about it! Don't understand why?
I'm still a big kid at heart, still feel like I'm 16 some days, others, I feel 40 especially after getting married and expecting our fisrt kiddie in January and suddenly realising that at some point, I'll have to become responsible.
My dad always said your as old as you feel... mmm? For a guy in his mid 50's, that sounds more like desperation and trying to denie you've had your mid-life crisis and your hairs falling out!
Would I go back and repeat it all? Nah! I've had some awesome times and some bizzare memories and I wouldn't change them for anything. They made me who I am!
Have I planned my future... Yeah right! Never beleived in planning forward, always had the train of though that you just take it as it comes as nothing for certain anymore... (Though this may change when Jnr. arrives)
My teens rocked! I redefined Anarchy (in Abingdon anyway!), I pushed things to the limit, almost died twice and the rest of it was a substance induced blurr, they way your teens should be...
My 20's have been more of a time for growing up and deciding where I want to go in life whilst still haning on to the memories that was my teens...
Next 30+ Mid life crisis, baldness, impotence and fatherhood... and maybe one day, responsibility:-) but till then... Life rocks!

Jonman is an old fogey too. Not as wrinkly as Goaty, but not far off.
And he's right. It's cracking. Teenage years were a bag of crusty poo, but I still had fun. The only thing I miss about being older is that sense of wonder and adventure when you go exploring in the woods or something.
I still do kids stuff like that, but it's not so much fun.
The one thing I have noticed in the last few years is being more appreciative of 'fings wot are good'. Which is nice.
Anyway, I'm happy, 'cos in a couple of months, I'm moving to America, and once I'm there, I'll buy me a 'Box and a 'Cube, and be playing pretty games months before you monkeys.
The moral of the story is to make sure you're having fun at all times, irrelevant of age. Works for me.

So you don't want to do that swap then? Oh well, I didn't have that many DVDs I wanted to get rid of anyway.
Yeah, being in your twenties rocks. You can do what you want when you want and your Mum can't even stop you! Yeah!

Being in your twenties (I can't believe I'm almost out of those. 30 next year...jesus) rocks.
Trust me.
I wouldn't want to go back to my teen years for all the money in the world.
That's the time you notice girls, but also the time that hormones conspire to make you the most unattractive you'll ever be in your life for a couple of years.
Oh cruel irony why do you mock us so?
Nope, I'm having the time of my life now I've come out of those years and loving (mostly) every moment of it.
You get a better class of women - not teens interested in getting mashed on alchopops.
You can afford to buy any game you want, any time you want. I bought a Gamecube on a whim so I could play Star Wars and I'm selling it next week.
You have a better understanding of the world (althougn I think you could live to be 200 and still not get 99% of it to be honest)
People treat what you say with more gravitas than when you're a teen, because you get written off as "he's just a kid, what does he know?".
This I find hilarious, as I talk complete rubbish most of time yet people still listen and think I have valid points to make.
You get to laugh at teens doing their thing, strutting about thinking they invented dance music/car park racing etc and think "I used to be like that, thank christ I grew up", and you dont feel threatened by those little urchin gangs hanging outside shops, because you just laugh and tell them where to go if they give you mouth.
And best of all, you get to phone up work and pretend to be ill when you fancy doing something else like playing video-games or going into London to meet a fit lass that is gagging for it.
Hur Hur Hur
There are downsides somewhere but damned if I can find them.
The only thing I will say, and it's a cliche, is that time speeds up to a stupid rate.
I mean we're already in June 2002 for chrissakes, I was born in 1973.
I was a child of the 70's & 80's and that seems like Roman Times.
And you get to reminisce like an old fart, whilst sitting up smoking,eating Haribou Sweet and Sour fizzy sweets.
I talk about this with mates, and we say we may be approaching 30 but we don't feel any different at all than when we were 14.
Except we're bigger, hairer and have more money.
Being old(er) rocks.

Your reasons for growing up are so different from mine.
If you are enjoying life at current. MILK IT as much you can.
Please... for hell sake.. milk it.
