I respect that, but also respectfully say that these people need to wake up. An old friend of roughly my age has two kids. And gout. Exactly.
I am not sure who these folks are cheating. Mr. Time doesn't give a rat's ass; their friends will move on and get domesticated, go into rehab, get a toga etc; their own brain will go for a one-way trip. And they will be left like the old mats-with-mullets at rock bars.
I am glad to say that I no longer consider "partying" a badge of honor. It hurts the next day. It hurts the next week. I still end up doing it, but I completely admit that it is stupid, unwise and something that I need to actively manage and cut down upon.
They call me "grandpappy". Seriously.

if it makes you feel better, i have resigned myself to languishing at penny black/harry's on friday nights. and get sleepy after 2 G&Ts. i refuse to go to clubs, they are filled with pre-pubescent and shrieking students.
i demand honorary "grandmammy" status. ha! i shall now retire to my armchair and my cats. sniff.
gout within 2 degrees of separation is prerequisite for this club.
What's with these proclamations of being 'old'? *GASP*
Don't you know that you are classifying yourself as a 'social problem'?
Anyway, this is xinjiapoh, where a 32 year old woman was called 'old' when she applied for a marketing job.
KNNCCB.
So if someone calls you 'grandpappy' its probably because they've been brainwashed by a bunch of old farts.

PS: Aegism in Singapore is a major peeve of mine. And I make no apologies for my poor grammar. ;)
Ah, but I wear my "grandpappy" badge with honor. Its genesis involves some poverty-stricken scholars and my "blanja-ing" them fong seng nasi lemak. Too hard to explain. Trust me, it is a badge of honor.
And, I recently got asked by an accidental date what facial cream I use, thanks to my youthful countenance. It is a huge problem professionally when people take you to be a "25-year old" - no offence my dahlings.
Which brings me to the song "Accidentally in Love". Should I start my music recos on this blog too?
face cream? now you can tell us too! ;) And feel free to blanjah me anytime.

Next you'll be asking where I get my shoes... nice try.
Shite. Here I was planning to ask that. But purely for curiosity's sake. ;)
And Blanjah will be nice too... Not the shoes or the cream... but I wouldn't say no to a bottle of wine.
wrt gout i have 1 degree of separation!! heheheheh.
what is all this talk of wine. just thinking about wine is giving me a hangover. sigh.
MHD? Why are you getting hung over at the thought of wine?
I think you need a bottle of "Sweet Lips".
