Even Bagwine Ages

Forty-Three years old.

I feel it sometimes. Sore back, pulled hamstrings, and ever lowering nut sack.

And of course, what little hair I do have is turning gray.


My gums, inherited from my mother, are receding more quickly than Lindsay Lohan downing a fifth of vodka.

Dentures are in my very near future.

Also, even though I weigh 2 pounds less than when I was a senior in High School…boy is my body…well…LOOSE!!

I can live with all that I guess. It’s who I am, and I am not going to take measures to stem the tide of aging.

But…

I have noticed something far more disturbing as I near the mid-point of my fourth decade.

I am becoming an old man, not in the sense of a hateful, grumpy, kinda guy, but more in terms of how I look and react to certain things.

For instance…This past May, the uber-lovely Dana posted a HNT shot. The picture showed some blonde streaks in her hair.

Bespectled and displaying a tantalizing bit of cleavage, my comment involved telling Dana how much I liked the highlights in her hair.

Last HNT, the sexy Biscuit, posted a picture of herself in her bathtub.

Now don’t get me wrong, I liked what I saw, but my main thought was, “How did she capture the lighting with her camera so well?”

I am either getting old…or getting gay.

My version of internet porn consists of getting on restaurant websites and looking at their menus and food pictures.

It was awkward at first, but now I have no qualms about jacking off fast and furiously to greasy dive websites that specialize in ginormous burgers and chili dogs.

I can have my meat and eat it too, I guess.

I am quicker with the fuck-yous to the general public now, as well. I have lost my filter.

A couple of weeks ago, while working a rare day shift, a gaggle of High School aged girls were attempting to cut through my drive-thru.

When I said they couldn’t do that, one of the girls said, “That’s gay.” To which I replied, “So’s your old man, princess.”

Ha. I guess aging does have some advantages, because telling that little punk off was fun…

And, I think the older one gets the sex gets better as well. I mean, if you can move your attention beyond the highlights in the hair and the cinematic photography lighting.

I may not post an HNT tomorrow.

I mean what’s left to see?

I have no cleavage, no boobs, no Hoo-Ha…and no, I will not ever show the Matt-Meat.


(Well except for that time I starred in the classic, incestuous, period porn piece inspired by Emily Bronte called, "Motheirng Heights." I was young...I needed the money.)

Does that mean that I am getting old?


Cheers!!

I never noticed the blond streaks in Dana's hair. Wow! those are nice. ;-)

I do have to admit that I'm getting a bit old myself. I have this 20 year old neighbor who is hot as hell. Well, in the past I wouldn't think anything about noticing how hot she is. But, now I feel kinda weird. Like I'm checking out a girl that is actually young enough to be my daughter. OH wait ... I actually find that arousing. Never mind. ;-)

Snigglefrits said...

By my best estimation, you've got 57 years before you're "old". You're just more experienced. 18 with 25 years experience. ;)

Schmoop said...

Jay: Remind to not inhale on a cigarette when I read your comments, you bastard. Enjoy the nubile neighbor. Cheers!!

Schmoop said...

Snig: You're right. And actually I only feel really old on Friday and Sunday mornings. Those are the two days that follow my two days off. Cheers Snig!!

Desert Songbird said...

Oh, c'mon, you're not THAT old. After all, you've never noticed my blonde highlights.

RW said...

Don't get old Matt I hear it sucks!

Knight said...

I'm pretty sure attention to detail is not a sign of old age. Maybe having a great sex life provides less need to be a pervert. Either way, why stop the HNT? I want more visuals of your nice ass peaking out from behind things. You can't take that away!

Schmoop said...

Songbird: Maybe it's because in my advanced years, I don't see nearly as well. Cheers!!

Roger: It's a deal...You and I will NOT grow old together. Cheers Raj!!

j said...

43! I would call you an old fart but I am only 6 years behind you. A rather young Fart am I.

And no, Matt my Dear, looking would never be a problem for YOU. It is actually a problem for ME, so Hubs acts blind. He is really sexy that way. But the Ogle-fest when I am not around?

Well, I'm not around.

Happy 18 plus 25 years experience (that was a brilliant comment - I am 18 with 2 years experience and 17 unexplained years)!

Jen

Schmoop said...

Knight: Ha...I'll see what I can come up with on the ass thing. But man, I do so miss being a pervert. Cheers Knight!!

Schmoop said...

Jen: Well, enjoy your double round of 18 years and those that are unexplained.

And may you and your hub continue to look and/or not, until death do you part.

Ha. That was kind of poetic in an Ogden Nash kinda way. Cheers Jen!!

Cinnamon Girl said...

Well you're older than me so I guess I have that to keep me warm at night, eh? And Desert has blonde streaks?!

Mothering Heights, huh? I suppose that beats For Whom The Balls Toll ;0

Schmoop said...

Starr: Well enjoy the warmth of my old age.

As far as Hemingway, I think his best porn was "The Old Man and Soon-Lee". A provactive porn flick that took place in war-torn Seoul in 1951. Cheers Starr!!

Cheesy said...

HA my kids catch me looking at recipes site and giggle and call it cheesy's porn....

When you get as old as me THEN you will be old baby....
And that will never happen!

Schmoop said...

Cheesy: WTF? Are you sayin' I wll die before I reach your age? Thanks a bunch hot stuff. Cheers!!

Lex Valentine said...

I have way more blonde highlights than that! Well, I'm probably way older too. LOL That dog made me salivate so I guess I'm just as bad as you. ;) I could do worse. MUAH!

Schmoop said...

Winter: That dawg does look mighty tasty doesn't it? Let's eat it together and meet in the middle. ; ) Cheers Winter!!

Unknown said...

43m huh? I’m old enough to be your daddy!

No, all of that does not mean you are getting old—er, older. It simply means that your genes are doing their job and clicking stuff on and off. Enjoy it. In 20 plus years you’ll remember this as your most productive, although maybe not most exciting, years.

HNT, shit! Maybe you are just bored with the game! Do whatever you feel like doin’ and fuck the rest! As Alex says, “OK?”

Dana said...

You only notice my highlights because at 43, my cleavage is in about the same place as your nutsack ... but I have NO IDEA why you noticed the lighting in Biscuits shot - there's just no excuse for that *wink*

HNT? Well, if I said it was your humor in those posts that caught my attention, would that make me old? OK, there were a few exceptions ... like that HNT of you and Schmoop ... can't say funny was the first thing that came to mind in that one!

Odat said...

Oh stop the crap. Now I'm old. I just ignore my aching knees, dye my roots, wear good bras, and smile! LOL. (and some day.......there will be sex again.....) (did I just say that?)

Peace

Schmoop said...

Nick: Your sermons are always succinct and once in awhile contain explitives...I like that. Cheers Nick!!

Dana: I got craving to eat a biscuit when I typed that. And that pic of Schmoop, I'm crushed. It was SUPPOSED to be funny. Cheers Dana!!

Odat: Yes, yes did say that, and it was broadcast live across the internets. Cheers!!

Ken said...

It's only the beginning.
I think, that in your 40's, we start thinking about old, which makes us aware, of those little aches and droops. In 5 years they'll be confirmed, aches and droops. Then the next 5 years, ahh, thats when you begin to embrace, those pesky little aches and droops.
Live hard and laugh often!

Schmoop said...

Micky: Eh, I am not really too worried about it. I pretty much go with the flow of things. Cheers Mick!!

Vinny "Bond" Marini said...

Sheesh... I am 11 years your senior and I am still young and vibrant. Maybe it is the air quality in Bagwine that makes you feel like Walter Brennan.

As to the HNT...you really need to admit to yourself and the world that the only reason you are not posting tomorrow is because I announced I would be doing my first and you know you have lost.

It is over old-man...

Suck on some WIR and look at your meat porn...

Dianne said...

I'm with odat - cut the crap.

you are like a fine bagwine. as the bagwine ages it takes on subtlety and harmonious tones. it is a delight to breathe in and savor.

and it gets woody.

Karen said...

Puh-lease! Men get sexier and finer with age. It is we women who get old and unattractive.

Schmoop said...

Bond: I have lost? I didn't even know I was in a competition. You, my good man, convey an unseemly, overly competitive streak. Cheers Vinny!!

Dianne: Holy Crap...I didn't think I was making sound likeI felt like a decrepit old man, merely nuances of not being 30 anymore. But man, I love when say, "woody". Cheers!!

Karen: Hardly...Women getter hotter with age. Case in point, Emmylou Harris, who looks hotter today at 60, than she did at 40. Cheers Karen!!

Lu' said...

Matt-Man you are not TOO old... Cross that bridge whe the old nut sack brushes the water as you stand too near the railing. When you noticed the other aspects of the photo's maybe you were just exercising the other bald head?

Schmoop said...

Lu: Ha...Well said Lu. Cheers Pal!!

Cheesy said...

No idjit~~ I will always be older than you!

Schmoop said...

Cheesy: I love that word, and yes I knew what ya meant. Cheers Cheesy!!

Leighann said...

I'll continue to adore you no matter how old, or how gay you get.

Unless you develop that old man smell, then you're on your own.

Schmoop said...

Leighann: Ha. You are too kind, funny girl. Cheers!!

Real Live Lesbian said...

There's plenty of you left that we haven't seen yet!

I'm with Leighann, as long as I don't have to smell it...I'd kinda like to see it! :)

Phfrankie Bondo said...

...If you didn't star in the daytime teevee show "The Gay And The Restless" then you oughta be alright.....

Schmoop said...

RLL: I think you may have just come up with the latest comment for my sidebar. Thanks. Cheers!!

Phfrankie: Nope, I passed on that. Although they did approach me to play the part of "Sous Chef Number Three." Cheers P-Man!!

Deb said...

I remember when I was 20 thinking my girlfriend (at the age of 30) was in the category of geriatrics, but now that I'm at the seasoned age of 34, I realize that we age like a fine bottle of wine: the sex is better, the money's better (well not on my part so much) and we've learned what "not" to do to survive...like,...drinking bagwine? ha! jk.

So happy birthday my friend! A toast to you getting younger and younger each day!

Schmoop said...

Deb: You are sooooo wrong. It's not my birthday; I was just pondering.

However...

You are correct about everything else. Especially your hotness with age Everytime you stop by, I have an urge to have a sex change, become a lesbian, and ask you out. Cheers to you, my longtime buddy!!

Tug said...

You're not getting older, you're getting better...all things (humans included) get better with age.

;-)

Schmoop said...

Tug: As do you Tug. You my dear, are a sweetheart. Cheers Tug!!

desert rat said...

No doubt about it; Emmylou is Hawt. (I think Mark Knopfler is still hawt, too - it's his voice - and he and Emmylou together! "This is Us!" Get Down!) Hey, I just realized - Mark K. doesn't have any hair, either. See?!!

Definitely, one of the advantages of being a "Woman (or Man), of a Certain Age" is the ability to speak my mind without fear of serious repercussion - like, "Hey, you forgot your dogshit!" ("That's gay." - "So's your old man, princess." LOL!)

If you don't do HNT I'll be forced to go sit on the couch. Please don't make me do that.

Anonymous said...

I often have my meat and eat it too. ;)

Schmoop said...

Desert Rat: I have played my Knopfler/Emmylou CD to the point where I almost need to buy a new one. Man, it is fan-damn-tastic.

As for HNT, I came up with an idea so, you'll be able to get off of your couch at about 12:01 AM on Thursday. Cheers Rat!!

Metalmom: And how I long to watch you eat it, Metal Baby. Cheers!!

desert rat said...

I KNOW! Aren't they AWESOME!? I Loooovveee "Beachcomb." Emmy and Mark have such beautiful voices. "Kill to Get Crimson" is pretty good, too. I've been listening to that one a lot, lately. It's quite different from Mark's earlier offerings.

I was referring to Bond's couch. Let's see - is that 12:01 AM YOUR time? That would make it 10:01 here... okay, that's doable!

Schmoop said...

Desert Rat: Ha. Yes, 10:01 your time. And Knopfler is a frickin' genius.

One more thing...If you'll be my Belle Starr; I'll be your Jesse James. ; ) Cheers Rat!!

desert rat said...

...well, I don't need a pistol, baby...

Beth said...

We're not getting old baby! Just much, much better!!

ambergail77 said...

I understand your aging problems. I constantly remind my husband that he has a pre-teen dughter who very close in age to the hot blonde bikini-clad neighbor. That usually dampens his spirits. Of course he is old enough to drown his sorrows in some beer.

Schmoop said...

Schmoop: Based upon the last couple of weeks, I can't disagree with that. Rowwwrrrrr. Cheers Schmoop!!

Amber: Good for him. A little alcohol goes along way in restoring a guy's spirits. Thanks for stopping. Cheers Amber!!

Anndi said...

You're letting Bond egg you on like that?

Wait til you're old as he is and you'll be delusional too *giggle*

You're a tad younger than my honey and both have Irish blood.. baby, you're still hawt!

Schmoop said...

Anndi: Ha. Thanks hot stuff. And no, no egging here. Although he is a bit cracked. Cheers Anndi!!

Cinnamon Girl said...

LOL Hemingway porn...I can just imagine it. "Dick was hard." "Dick went in." "It was good."

I hate Ernie. I got into a death match with a lit teacher cause I said the reason he blew his head off was that someone made him read his own books :p

Schmoop said...

Starr: Hahahaha, now that's a good one. Cheers Starr!!

As American as Apple Pie said...

Older men are hot! Unless they have icky tonails and long nosehair. I draw the line at that.

And I want to see more HNT too! If I can't play I at least want to watch.

Schmoop said...

Apple: So let it be written; so let it be done. Cheers Apple!!

Kimmie said...

I take growing older with a grain of salt. You're as young as you feel you hunk of burning love. As far as HNT, you are a sweet treat every week. I am sure that exceptionally creative mind of yours, has the ability to show us a little more Matt. ;-)

leelee said...

"And, I think the older one gets the sex gets better as well."

I agree...Like a fine wine..it gets better with age...

Seems to me, it's not so much that you are getting older but enjoying what you have in the flesh more...you and schmoop enjoy each other and I think when one has got what one needs and likes what one has...a lot..then the rest is less let's say ..inticing. This my friend is a GOOD THING.

I wouldn't worry at all...I think you have it made and you are just realizing it more.

HUGS!

43...HA just wait...lol..it gets EVEN better at almost 50!

Deb Rox said...

You got lucky with Mothering Heights, Matt-Man. I paid for college by gettingg cast in Smothering Heights which almost turned to a snuff when I got trapped under a EEE set. She had the old heavy silicone implants. Jesus, I'm lucky I'm alive.

CreativeMish said...

I agree With one of the above comments! Men get better with age. distinguished.. Women have to work at trying to maintain.. OH! and show more of that apple bottom :)

Schmoop said...

Kimmie: We shall see...Just don't won't to get boring with it. Cheers!!

Leelee: If I look as good as you do when I approach 50. I'll be a happy man. Cheers Cutie!!

Deb: Ha. Very Good. Glad you made it out alive, Deb. Cheers!!

Schmoop said...

Michelle: Well you seem to being doing just fine. More bottom, huh? Maybe. Cheers!!

Anonymous said...

Matt....I'm with Bond........wait until you get in your 5-'s

Charlene

Schmoop said...

Char: Mmmmmmm, a mini-skirt. Purrrr. Cheers Char!!

Marilyn said...

I like HNT... I just have to wait till Jasmine's not in the room.

Schmoop said...

Marilyn: Ha...12:01 A.M EDT. That's only a little over an hour away. Cheers Marilyn!!

Anonymous said...

Schmoop said...

Char: Lucky mini. Cheers Char!!

Kimmie said...

Honey, your body is never boring, nor could it get to be. ;-)

blue said...

If paying attention to things, caring less what others think and honing your smart ass to a fine edge means you are getting old...well hell you may BE getting old...but you know what they say about wine, boy.

Schmoop said...

Kimmie: Um...well...not so much. Cheers!!

Blue: Why thanks. I like that...alot. Cheers Blue!!

Janna said...

I must be getting old as well, because that picture of the chili cheese dog... wow.
Gettin' kinda excited here.
