Well, that&#8217;s happening to me now.  I feel like an old man, but I&#8217;m only 28 &#8211; not even 30!  What the hell&#8217;s wrong?  I had a lower back pain the other day that just came out of nowhere, and although it wasn&#8217;t agonizingly painful, I could tell that my body is saying something to me.<\/p>\n<p>Stop eating and get some exercise, you fool.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not that I dont want to exercise regularly, in fact it&#8217;s the opposite.  I used to play basketball, but haven&#8217;t done that in over a year.  I&#8217;m taking up golf, but that doesn&#8217;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 <i>sucks<\/i> 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&#8217;m becoming such a couch potato that I feel like I&#8217;m about to sprout some roots on our sofa.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully though, when I start my new job on Monday (which is only about 20 minutes away), I&#8217;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 <a href=\"http:\/\/peps.blogspot.com\">PePs<\/a> is doing.  Then, maybe I&#8217;ll start feeling young again.  <\/p>\n<p>BTW &#8211; <b>F**K<\/b> the Lakers.  They&#8217;re so damn good it makes me want to puke.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It sucks to get old.
