Things I'm Too Old for but Still Like

In a random conversation at work today with The Giant Hello Kitty (GHK) we were discussing a tweet she posted.
"Things I'm too old for but still like: Shots, Forever 21, dance music, dancing while drunk, hello kitty, the desire to wear crop tops"

That got me thinking.  There are a lot things that I definitely like and I'm much too old for.


  1. Shots- I definitely agree with GHK on this one.  Shots are the gift and the curse of the night.  They take the night and turn it up a few notches.  My poison of choice in this wonderful nectar is either a Vegas bomb (which in itself, any shot with the word bomb in it and red bull should be a sign that I'm too old) and Rumple.  Ahhh... Rumple.  Another good quote from GHK regarding Rumple : "No one over 23 should ever drink Rumple".  That's gospel when it comes to Rumple.  Never to be taken lightly Rumple manages to work it's whoreish spell on the unexpecting virgin and whisper sweet nothings of the blackout nature.
  2. Dick and Fart jokes- it's still hilarious to me when it's quiet at work and you hear someone trying to sneak one out and the trumpet goes up a notch.  It also cracks me up when you see someone crop dust an area of a local bar and the results unfold on the unsuspecting patrons.  Along those same lines when you're in a serious meeting and the presenter calls up "John Cocksly" to discuss the synergy of team development.  hehehe- Cocksly, Butkiss....
  3. Chili Cheese French Fries- Burger house preferably, but there are a few places places that can almost compare heir chili cheese fries.  My day brightens up when I plop my fat ass right in front of some freshly fried fries, add some nacho cheese and then some chili topped with tabasco or cholula.  
  4. Pac Sun- I shouldn't shop here.  The target age is about half what my drivers license says yet I'm still drawn to DC, Monster, Fox, and Volcom.  It could be the bright colors and trying to relive the days out on the lake in Austin but throwing on a DC hoodie with jeans or some checked Vans and shorts is one of those guilty pleasures in my life.
  5. Hats- Pretty similar to above I love wearing hats.  New Era made a great business decision a few years ago by tricking up the standard colors of the MLB.  Adding a grey and black Texas Rangers hat, a baby blue Pirates and similar color schemes have me constantly looking to see what's been released lately.
  6. Toys-  As a man gets older his toys become more expensive and vast.  I don't know where I heard that line but it's true.  I'm not a complete gadget nerd like some people but I keep up with the various reviews on CNET; I have a 70" LED 3D TV wall mounted in the living room, a 50" plasma in the bedroom, a couple laptops, a few ipods, an iPad, and more headphones than a Bestbuy.  Toys are nice and gadgets are fun.  I like to justify most of the items with an ease of convenience but we all know they are just big kid toys.
  7. Doing Dangerous things, Just because-  I've broken the same arm 3 times.  I've torn a muscle in each calf muscle, cracked a few ribs, broken a collarbone, and gone through at least 3 concussions.  This summer I still ran with the bulls and have aspirations to base jump and wing suit while mountain biking on a semi-regular basis.  The rush of adrenaline combined with the new experience has always fascinated me
