I don't like to have 2 top 10 lists going at once, but since this is a non-music one, I'm going for it!
Here's a few of mine to get you thinking:
10-Begin a new sport. Unless that sport is golf or bowling, I think you're foolish to, at 40+, decide to take on a new sport. Don't get me wrong. George Blanda played football well into his forties as have many Major League baseball pitchers, but that was a sport they had played all their lives and were conditioned for it. Even if it's beer league softball, if you've never played the sport before (or only a little as a kid), best case scenario: you will make a fool out of yourself. Worst case: you fuck yourself up good pulling a muscle, breaking something or worse yet, have a heart attack cuz you're not in shape for it.
9-Flip the bird at someone taking your picture. Face it: it wasn't even that cool to flip your middle finger as you're getting your picture taken when you were a kid. In your 20's you were probably drunk, 30's it's starting to get lame. Once you've hit 40 don't do it. It just makes you look like a fucking idiot.
8-Wear your hat backwards. Kinda like flipping the bird, you just look like a douche. And don't even think about wearing it sideways dipshit! No denying it: you're an adult now, wear your hat with the bill facing forward dumbass.
7-Get Tattoos or piercings for the first time. Look, if you already have a tattoo or piercing from your younger days, that's fine. Or if you're adding to your already tattooed body, fine. But if you're over 40, nothing screams mid-life crisis like getting a tattoo or piercing for the first time.
6-Listen to top 40 radio. It's not your music, stop trying to fit in. What are you trying to do, impress the 16 year old check out girl at Walmart with your knowledge of Lady Gaga? I'm a carpenter, and I can't tell you how many job sites I've been on where guys have their radios set to this shit. I ask them if it was "Bring your daughter's iPod to work" day. Please. Your music is on the Classic Rock station...probably even the oldies station at this point. Want to impress people? Play an iPod full of rare cuts from Deep Purple, Pat Travers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top, Bad Company, Ted Nugent, hell, even Ac/DC, Aerosmith and Van Halen for cryin' out loud. Don't be over 40, playing Justin Beiber and acting like you like it.
More to come.
