Is there something you use to do when you were younger, but don't do now? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

GARFIELDKOOL · 06-13-2009, 10:14 PM

This is an easy one for me. I use to play video games. I played Atari at the arcades, I had a Sega Master System, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis. That's what my free time consisted of, but since the late 90s and early 2000's I have lost interest in video games. I can't get into the groove anymore.

Also, I use to shoot hoops and work out in the afternoons, but with my work hours, I am too drained to do any of that when I get off.

LOL.

Play ding-dong-ditch. I miss those days when us "neighborhood bad kids" spent our Friday and Saturday evenings running down our block and picking houses at random as the "target".

It was literally a ritual every weekend for ding-dong-ditch night for us.

Now it will be pretty sad for a 23 year old to still be doing this but I do miss those days.

and btw, my interest in video games never went away.

I done the Ding-Dong-Ditch thing, but not as much. It's funny, I have a 25 year-old nephew, and he's never heard of Ding-Dong-Ditch, but then again, he grew up doing very different things than I did.

When my mom had a wooden garage door, I used to throw the tennis ball against it and play catch like I am playing baseball. That was my favorite!!

Now that she has a metal garage door, I can't.

I used to have a strong interest in Star Wars related stuff and comic books. I still like comic books but whenever I buy them now they are usually for other people. Now I have zero interest in anything having to do with Star Wars, especially the movies.

Used to poop in diapers when I was a baby. Don't do that anymore.

I was a partier before I was married. I don't do that anymore.

I used to be able to dance, like 4 times a week, cannot do that anymore. I would, literally, start Thursdays by going out to go dancing, and then dance on the weekend and Sunday, too. What happened to my energy?

I did that too! When I was in college there was a really small dance club about 7 minutes from my dorm. On Friday and Saturday nights, I would meet my friends over there and we'd literally dance until about 4am. I was under 21 at the time, so I wasn't allowed in until midnight. I used to dance like crazy, and then when I got back to my dorm, I was so energized, I couldn't stop. I can't believe I'm confessing this, but I would go into the bathroom with my Walkman and Madonna "You Can Dance" tape and literally wear myself out. The only reason I went into the bathroom (I know you are wondering!) is because I didn't want to disturb my roommate!

Now, I'm lucky if I can dance for more than five minutes without gasping for air! That's terrible, isn't it?

In a word, age. It's just one of those things, Tara. I know you're fit and toned, and look 10 years younger, but age still slows you down.
