I feel old now...

[Spot261]

dear god.

This is almost as bad as the realisation I've been around for most of the time that has elapsed since WW2, or that
ST now has half a fricking century under it's belt.

Well, I happen to like the "Time is the Fire ..." quote. It suits my fancy ...

It suited Malcolm McDowell's fancy as well. In fact he loved that line so much that he had it engraved on the watch he wears in the film.

... Malcolm McDowell is COOL!!!

 

[Hey Missy]

The 25th Anniversary is 25 years old

 

[sbk1234]

Me too!

Another irony is that next year, when they have their 30th anniversary, I will be the same age as Patrick Stewart was when he started playing Picard in 1987 (47!).

I'm guessing retroenzo is very young.

Holy crap! That means I'm already OLDER than he was back on Farpoint!

I'm guessing retroenzo is very young.

It depends what you call 'very young'. I'm 41.

 

[RandyS]

It depends what you call 'very young'. I'm 41.

Well that's younger than me.

But not by much.

I'm 11 years older!
(Still have my hair though and it has not turned gray or started to hide from me...)

Whatever hair I kept is in a box under my bed!

That does make be feel old. Half my life ago exactly. Here's some scans of a "birthday" postcard a friend sent me in January 1991 that I have kept for all this time (it has aged slightly better than me).

The weird thing is that William Shatner was 35 when he became Captain Kirk. I am now 58, much older than he was, but when I see him in the show in that role I still feel he is older than me.

Yeah, it's like seeing pictures or videos of your parents when they were young and you are older than them in those pictures of videos...you still feel like a kid in comparison.

Most Baby Boomers looked old for their age, stress took a toll on their faces and 70's fashion was terrible

At least it was colorful. Not all of us look old for our ages. People consistently underestimate my age by at least 10 years. I guess it helps that I chose to raise cats instead of humans.

Unless you have a handy time machine... mind you, unless you jump back into your own body, you're only going to be an observer at best.
