NFT: "Lol outdated brain" moments

Route 9 : 5/17/2018 3:30 pm
Meaning: what are some old thoughts your brain still thinks are required to do but doesnt have to because of technology advancement? It happened to me the other morning. I was on my normal route at work and one of the stops is right by the movies. I was gonna say do you mind if we make a pit stop at the movies so I can purchase my ticket for Deadpool in advance but then I remembered "lol silly Route 9 you have a phone that can do that"?

Instead of wasting my time going into the movies and talking to someone, I pulled out my phone and ordered my ticket with the phone app I already had installed, within seconds.

I'm like shit, am I that old? Nah. Just time moves fast like a busy bee. What are some things from the past you're left stuck doing that you dont realize you have to?

Are you shaming my visual sexual content, dep?

But seriously though, old dudes think you need to go to a store to visualize porn...

My Stapler

I still staple things forgetting that office printers can now staple things for you. The youngins seem to know how to do that.

Also I save absolutely everything to my desktop otherwise I have no clue where it goes.

FranknWeezer : 5/17/2018 4:31 pm : link
earlier this week...one I hadn't paid attention to in awhile b/c it was across the room. I walked over and picked it up for a closer look b/c my eye was grabbed by some good-looking cleavage.

So I did what any red-blooded American male would do...I "pinched" at the glass like it was an iPhone screen and tried to enlarge it so I could see the sweater puppies better. Yes, I literally tried to enlarge a picture frame inage as if it were a smartphone. Had a good laugh at myself over that one.

My wife, daughter and I lived in a one bedroom condo in fort lee  
djm : 5/17/2018 4:49 pm : link
700 sq feet. We had a wall put up to form a temporary little nursery/bedroom for my daughter. Even still, your ass had to be quiet and calculated especially at night when everyone, including her was sleeping. When I came in at night to the main room I instinctively kept lights out and shit ultra quiet as she was sleeping on the other side of the wall and it had a sliding window. No lights!

I still forget that i can turn lights on and make noise downstairs in the house we moved to, one year later.

No one appreciates living in a house with space more than I do.

Get names wrong a lot...

I used to laugh when my old man would call Barry Bonds Bobby Bonds. But I find myself doing that now too, i.e. Howie Long when I'm referring to Chris Long.

I think this is going to happen a lot more as players we grew up watching now have kids wnterinfb professional sports.

Well if the pizza wasn’t delivered within 30 minutes, it would have been free and would have come out of his check.

Lol. Remembering every single name in sports off the top of your head is a hard one. It's hard especially when other people remember every single name you could imagine...or not imagine, remember. How the hell does one store so much knowledge with every single mediocre player and where they went to school? It's just easier following the Giants and just paying attention to our own players.

I watch some old YouTube videos of games at work/the gym and even from the 2013-present teams I have trouble remembering guys by their jerseys - I'm thinking who the hell was #28 and I barely remember Jaron Hosely or whatever.

I guess the fact this team has been a shit team for quite sometime says everything, if you ain't Brandon Jacobs or Ahmad Bradshaw, then who the fuck cares?
