It sucks to get old.

You know how your body starts to feel that it’s getting tired and aches start to happen where they didn’t before? Well, that’s happening to me now. I feel like an old man, but I’m only 28 – not even 30! What the hell’s wrong? I had a lower back pain the other day that just came out of nowhere, and although it wasn’t agonizingly painful, I could tell that my body is saying something to me.

Stop eating and get some exercise, you fool.

It’s not that I dont want to exercise regularly, in fact it’s the opposite. I used to play basketball, but haven’t done that in over a year. I’m taking up golf, but that doesn’t really use up a lot of calories (besides I suck at it). I have a gym that I belong to, and I would like to go there often to work out and lift weights. The main problem for me (besides being lazy) is that the drive that I do every day just sucks the energy out of me. At around 80 miles one way (equivalent to about an hour and a half drive), the energy just seems to dissipate from me every minute I drive. Then when I get home, I just plop down in front of the couch and watch TV like a mindless zombie. I’m becoming such a couch potato that I feel like I’m about to sprout some roots on our sofa.

Hopefully though, when I start my new job on Monday (which is only about 20 minutes away), I’ll finally be able to go to the gym and give my body the exercise it needs. Maybe then I can even join Aileen when she does those kickboxing exercises, or even take up yoga like PePs is doing. Then, maybe I’ll start feeling young again.

BTW – F**K the Lakers. They’re so damn good it makes me want to puke.
