They say you're as old as you feel. I hope that is not true.
I feel old, extremely and terribly old these days.
Not mature or world wise or enlightened, but just generally old. Not that type of old where you'd rather sit on a recliner and read Swami Vivekanand books instead of partying somewhere. Or where history today seems like current affairs of my youth.

Maybe I should start celebrating my birthday in December.

Perhaps this is not the best place to post, given that I claim to be nearing senior citizenship, but seriously - how funny is the 'Under My Umbrella ..ella ... ella ...' song? Very funny I know! Rihanna, who looks like she stopped growing  after the age of eight (w.r.t. height only, thankfully), then goes on to teach the alphabet 'A ... A ... A ... A ... ', but clearly she didn't learn beyond that. And still the song is awesome.
N.B. The radio jockey just informed me that Rihanna is the 8th hottest female on some random hotness list in the US. Hmmm ...

Most hip hop songs these days are freaky -
You have Chamillionaire going 'I'm ridin' this and that and doing it dirty' or claiming that all the noble souls in the R&B industry are being policed and arrested for thinking living on grass is the same as going veggie; Kanye Waste giving motivational lectures by singing 'I am on you ... you come here ... hold me longer ... what won't kill you will make you stronger' ; JT and 50 Cent trying a remote desktop connection on some sexy female to spread some mayo on her; JT again dancing in some virtual domain singing in what would be an awesome voice if it belonged to a lady; Beyonce giving me deja vu when she shakes her booty from Assam to Ooty like some rabid dog who's just exited all wet from a swimming pool ... the list is endless.

I don't understand what motivates people to make such songs. Maybe that's why I feel old.
But I like the songs anyway. Hence I don't feel that type of old.
