I'm Too Old For This Shit!


There comes a time in everyone's life when one day, you just wake up, hungover and miserable. You're sick as a dog. Your stomach hurts. You're tired. You don't want to get out of bed. Sure, this was fun when you were in college, but is it really fun now when you're 30-years-old? Suddenly, you think to yourself, I'm too old for this shit!

A few years ago, I wrote a blog post called I'm Too Old For This Shit. I was inspired to write the post based on an episode of "How I Met Your Mother," when the gang was watching old "Lethal Weapon" movies and Ted created his Murtaugh List: things that you do in your 20s but are too old to do in your 30s.

Since I wrote the blog post when I was still in my twenties, my Murtaugh list has changed. Here's what I'm too old for...

I am too old to go out during the week
I am too old to get drunk and go to work the next day, hungover
I am too old to go out and party on Friday nights
I am too old to pull all nighters
I am too old to get wasted and eat fast food at 5am
I am too old to sleep till after 12pm
I am too old to play mind games with boys
I am too old to date anyone younger than me
I am too old to hook up with a douchebag
I am too old to pierce anything other than my ears
I am too old to go to go to bed without taking off my makeup
I am too old to go to bed in the same clothes that I wore that night
I am too old to watch MTV shows
I am too old to go to a friend's wedding without a date
I am too old to throw a big birthday party and think that everybody will actually show up
I am too old to still have an entry level job and be okay with it
I am too old to do laundry at my mom's house

Tell me some of the things that you are going to put on your Murtaugh list! Ready... go!

Okay...;)
I'm too old to get drunk period. It's just lame to see people aged 30+ behaving like completely idiots.
I'm too old to sleep till after 10am
I'm too old to pull all nighters
I'm too old to eat after 9pm
I'm too old to pretend everything is ok
I'm too old to tolerate childish behavior
I'm too old to actually clean up after roommate
and YES I'm too old to have roommates BUT that's the only way for me to live normally in this gigantic city/area.
