When do you start to lose the funk?

cmplol1jne ^^:D:D For me the nose hair thing didn't start until I was about 35ish. Hell I didn't have a hair on my chest until I was 30!:eek::D

Interesting thing with the music. I agree with that. The best music has been written by people between 25 to 35 pretty much. You could say that about the greats. Dylan The Stones, the Beatles etc. The Beatles had arguably the greatest musical output in terms of influence and just pure quality between the ages of 25 and 30. Damn near 2 albums a year plus singles. Scary. The band split around the latter age.

I think other areas of talent get better with age even athletic talent. From what I remember most of the consistently great tour de france cyclists were in their late 20's and even beyond. Same with marathon runners. Check this out for a good example of a towering talent cycling wise.

(the commentary is crap, but check out the sound of the home crowd when Kelly..... well just watch.)

Sean Kelly that mad crazy brilliant yahoo at 39! How they could fit that mad culshie* on a bike when he had balls that big is beyond me.

Even at the extremes of age, check this out. This man beat the best ultra marathn runners in the world in the hardest race in the world. He was 61. 61 ffs! http://www.my-inspirational-quotes.com/inspirational-stories/cliff-young-a-farmer-who-inspires-a-nation/

In areas like art and literature, business, philosophy, science, you name it there are a hell of a lot of those in their 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond.

Youth is wonderful as you think anything is possible but you're not quite sure how, old tells you it may not be, as you maybe learned the wrong things life was teaching you, wisdom if you want it, will teach you that you can redefine what is possible.

Jaysus I had to go all wibbs there. Christ now Im doing a third party pighead thingy(without the laughs ).



*I mean that as the very best compliment BTW.
