How Much Have You Changed?

Forums:

In the book "Monty Python Speaks", Terry Gilliam discusses his reticence to do reunions as a component of having moved on to different interests, that he is no longer the same person he was in his twenties.

What's changed for you?  What's stayed the same?

I've found as I've got older, I try to give others the benefit of the doubt more and not judge them as much.  

I still like music a lot, but I can handle some things (Free Jazz, Musique Concrete/Modern Composition) that I had no ear for in my twenties.

I hated brussel sprouts when I was in my 20's, absolutely love them now. What hasn't change is that I still hate cream of tuna on shoestring potatoes.

Two weeks ago I tried a soft boiled egg. Never liked it before. Now I'm dunking a piece of toast in there and I'm loving it.

I don't over-share on the zone as much as I used to

My balls are getting closer to the water when I sit on the toilet

Cream of tuna on shoestring potatos??? What in the fuck is that?

 

Is Terry an asshole now or before?  I get confused when assholes say that they're not the person that they used to be. 

 

 

Cream of mushroom soup

Frozen peas

Can of tuna

 

Smother and cover these

I have way more empathy for people who are struggling in any way- whether mental/physical/spiritual/financial.

I used to be deathly afraid of public speaking in highschool and outgrew it in college.  I've been speaking professionally for a living now for 5 years and jump at the opportunity to get up in front of a group and speak.

Have you considered a visit to Hyde Park?

So Tod had white trash for parents.

Single mom in the 70's, we didn't have much.

Less skating, surfing and snowboarding. 

 

My shit's fucked up.

I Am In WAY More Physical Pain - Way Less Money In The Bank and I Rarely Listen To GD , Phil and Related.

This question reminds me of this guy I knew who grew up in Boston and then moved to Scottsdale AZ in his early forties for a job. He said the only thing that was the same was the currency.

 Growing old is not for the feint of heart.

My Physical Pain Has Been So Bad In The Last Year - I Ask God ? Why Am I Still Here ? What Is The Point ? Will It Get Worse ?? I MEAN CMON MANG !!

Go to bed earlier and get up earlier than I ever have before.

More cynical too.  Other than that, still pretty immature for my age.

Mellower and I seem to go for the underdog more.

I cherish alone time more.

i'm in the best shape of my life at age 66, more money in the bank and only listen to gd related songs if they pop upon itunes when on random play

I will never stop listening to the good ol grateful dead

 

we are the scourge of the country club where we play golf at on weekends, cranking the gd at our 7 am tee times. We always ask ourselves why not listen to something else, and then the jones kicks in

Better perspective on things in general,  signs of aging physically but still going to shoes. always listened to many types of music but definitely less dominated by GD stuff these days.  It keeps it fresh. like the 10/24/71 I heard last night by chance and I was enthralled by Phils playing on BEW. And his high harmonies!

I'd say my youth still defines a large part of me so I yam what I yam.  Counting my blessings, never forgetting where I come from, trying to embrace each day.

DEAD FREAKS UNITED!!!

oof

I had a lot more patience for fuck ups when I was young. Mainly because I was one too. Now, not so much. I'm also way more cynical, although I've found that helps me weed out the garbage people from my life. It's not easy being perfect, but somehow I manage.

I think age is a very high price to pay for maturity.
