Ever need to be reminded that you aren't 20 anymore?

Okay, then go to a concert. You'll be the only one wearing earplugs, because you're finally mature enough to realize that don't want to damage your hearing, no matter how much you like the music. You'll find that when you are jumping up and down to the music, you'll start to be careful and jump a little less exuberantly when you realize that your bladder, although not full, isn't completely empty and that can be a bad combination... also, towards the end, you'll start to get tired, and eventually move towards the back giving up your awesome spot close to the stage because you are hot and need fresh air. When the concert is over, you'll suddenly realize that your feet hurt and your back's a little sore. But the worst part is that the next morning, without consuming any alcohol, you'll have what you call a tired hangover, from so much activity and staying up later than you usually do. There is an upside though... for a brief period during your favorite songs, when you are pumped with adrenaline and moving in time with the crowd... you'll FEEL twenty again, and hopefully, when all is said and done, you'll realize that it doesn't really matter that you're getting older... because you can still rock it at your favorite concert, and hey, getting older is actually pretty cool, even if that realization has to slap you across the face every once in a while.
