patiirc Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I'm not getting the balance between adult and kid right. I have lost my 'innocence' about the ways of the world, but that has been the case for ages anyway. However today I was prattling about Toys R Us, looking at Transformers and generally goofing about. Still love childish things despite being a mature and responsiblish adult at 36ish The biggest thing about being an adult that sucks is time. Cant ever seem to get enough. We need to adopt 36 hour days 12 hours sleep, work and play and boom sorted. Will never happen but will mean that more people can set about following their dreams rather than being constrained by not enough time haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted February 16, 2015 Moderators Share Posted February 16, 2015 That's the wrong kind of childishness. Toys were shite when I was 8 and they're shite now. Manchildness is an attitude, not looking being a bit paedo in The Entertainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted February 16, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 16, 2015 Tell you what, I felt aged last night. I was watching Deadwood and instead of enjoying the nudity and looking at it on a basic level, I was a bit put out by the historical inaccuracy of her neatly trimmed lad.

Moderators PowerButchi Posted February 21, 2015 Moderators Share Posted February 21, 2015 I'm 29, 30 next month. I couldn't never be arsed with toys, the majority of Kids TV, or most things aimed at kids. Totally at odds with my childish mindset, to be honest.

DeanoTheGame Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I wasn't a big fan of toys when I was a kid either. Preferred playing out on my bike and making dens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted February 25, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 25, 2015 Getting random aches and pains when you are past 30. It's horrible. I could fly off anything when I was 12 and not be hurt at all. Fly off a tree today and I'm looking at traction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShowOff Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I live a fantastic life. I earn great money, I own my house, I'm generous with what I have, have a good circle of friends where we are all close. I have nothing to moan about as I have it good. But self awareness is a bitch sometimes. When I was younger I used to get lost in emotions. Â I'm going through something now and I'm trying to convince myself "it's the end of the world" to justify some shitty emotions I have and a minor bout of self pity. Self awareness won't let me. I know it's not the end of the world and I'm just being pathetic. Pretty sure that's a bad side effect of being a responsible adult. If I were 13 I'd probably be asking Mum for a new wardrobe by now.

I played four twenty-minute games of six-a-side on Saturday and EVERYTHING ached afterwards. Ankles were a given, arms hurt from trying to shrug off tackles or colliding with the barriers, the back of my head ached in the pub later, I think from how often my brain rattled from coughing due to the exertion. But the worst part is, that the pains endured til YESTERDAY and it was only this morning I woke up not feeling sore. Not sore, but still feeling like I could have done with an extra 2 hours in bed.

Â Â Did you do any stretching before playing? I've made the mistake of not stretching properly or not doing it all before playing football and I've come out feeling what you've described. Â I don't make that mistake anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted February 25, 2015 Moderators Share Posted February 25, 2015 Just having to stretch at all is one of the things that sucks about being a grown up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted February 25, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 25, 2015 Did you do any stretching before playing? Â Lots. Although heading straight for the bar instead of warming down probably was a factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
